Our take
Immortal Combat is rated PG-13 and pits historical warriors, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Cleopatra, in a forced battle-to-the-death tournament. Dialogue and action reference stabbings, blood, explosions, and kidnapping, though reviewers say the fights look slow and stagey rather than graphic. Language is mild. No romance or substance use stands out in available sources. Fine for teens who tolerate B-movie action; sensitive viewers may still find the death-game premise unsettling
Uplifting themes
Warriors choose cooperation over the tournament's kill-or-die rules Joan of Arc resists killing at first and pushes for unity among captives Historical names appear, but accuracy takes a back seat to sci-fi action
Story (may spoil tone)
History's greatest warriors, including Genghis Khan and Joan of Arc, are summoned by a shadowy organization to fight in a battle to the death. But unknown to their captors, the fighters have been plotting to turn the tables and dismantle the deadly enterprise from within.

Talk after watching
- Warriors from different eras must kill or be killed. How does the film try to make them allies instead of enemies?
- Joan of Arc refuses to kill at first. What does that say about her character compared with the other fighters?
