Rampage is officially rated PG-13. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 13+.

Rampage is a high-stakes monster movie featuring giant, genetically mutated animals that threaten to destroy a major American city. The film is rated PG-13 primarily for intense sequences of creature-based violence, widespread urban destruction, and occasional bloody imagery. Parents should note that while the tone is…

The film contains very little sexual content. There is a brief, crude joke involving a gorilla making an obscene hand gesture, and a female character is shown briefly in lingerie.

The violence is moderate to strong. It includes scenes of creatures tearing through buildings, soldiers being crushed or eaten, and brief bloody shots, including severed limbs and blood on walls, particularly in the space station sequence.

Language is moderate, with approximately 19 uses of 'shit', as well as terms like 'bitch', 'asshole', 'bastard', and 'bullshit'. There are also several uses of the Lord's name in vain.

There is no notable drug use, but the plot is centered entirely around the accidental and then intentional distribution of a dangerous, mutating pathogen as a biological weapon.

Mature themes include the cold-blooded corporate greed that leads to mass destruction, the loss of a child in a tragic backstory, and the ethics of genetic modification used as a weapon.

Rampage runs 107 minutes, directed by Brad Peyton, released in 2018.
