Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is officially rated PG-13. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 12+.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a high-octane sci-fi action film that earns its PG-13 rating primarily through sustained, large-scale robot combat and sequences of intense peril. The plot follows Noah and Elena as they assist the Autobots and Maximals in preventing a planet-eating entity from destroying Earth…

The film contains one brief moment of mildly suggestive humor involving a double entendre in Spanish regarding male anatomy, which is quickly dismissed.

The violence is pervasive, consisting of high-intensity sci-fi combat. Characters (both robotic and alien) are hit with projectiles, blades, and explosions; limbs are occasionally severed or crushed during major battles, and robot death is depicted throughout.

Language includes occasional uses of 'shit', 'ass', and 'damn', along with a middle-finger gesture used during a moment of frustration.

None; there is no consumption or portrayal of drugs, alcohol, or smoking.

Central themes include sacrifice, the survival of worlds, and familial responsibility, particularly surrounding Noah's efforts to provide medical care for his ill brother. The film also touches on the intense loneliness and desperation of a planetary devourer.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts runs 127 minutes, directed by Steven Caple Jr., released in 2023.
