A desperate gamble to cure a rare blood disorder creates a pulpy, gritty, and suspenseful sci-fi action hero.
A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Prime Video and Disney+.
For a PG-13, this one goes further: graphic gore. Beyond that, no sex or nudity and mild language.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the gore.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder, and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Michael Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease.
