  • A large whaleshark approach Kon-Tiki. It's just swiming peacefuly, when a man throws a spear attached to the raft at the shark. The raft is then controlled by the shark for a little moment until the rope breaks. A little intense, for the raft could easily been drawn under the water.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A parrot is eaten by a shark. No blood, and the scene is very sudden and brief.
  • A shark is impaled by a hook (a little blood is seen streaming out of the wound), the shark is then pulled on the raft, and a man sits down on it, stabbing it rapidly in the head with a knife. Blood is seen splattering out of the wound and it float down the shark and it creates a big pool. Another man then stabbs the shark in the belly, blood is seen splattering all over a man in the background and the wall behind him. The shark is then in graphic detail sliced open and the intestines are seen floating out of the shark. Three people are then seen covered in blood and blood is seen going through the floor, making more sharks appear. One man falls into the water (depending on how you interpret the scene, he may or may not have tried to commit suicide). He survives. The entire scene is very graphic, not only because it's bloody and disturbing, but the violence is put into realistic light.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Kon-Tiki drives into a thunderstorm and the crew struggles with it. A characther who can't swim falls into the ocean. He survives. The entire scene is very intense.
  • All the scenes involving sharks (Nobody is killed or wounded by them). The parts involving sharks are extremely graphic, especially one scene where one of the sharks is killed brutally on-screen.
  • The ending scene where Thor opens a letter from his wife might be viewed as very sad and emotional.
