No dogs in the story. Only mention of a dog is when a character callously announces that the protagonist shouldn't have a problem sacrificing his life because he has "no immediate family, not even a dog."

I’d say yes, though happens offscreen.
***Spoilers***
A character is drugged and placed on a suicide mission spaceship. This character never has the chance to say goodbye to anyone.

No, and there's hardly any appearance/mention of parents at all. None of the lead characters have any children or parents in their life. One side character is implied to have a positive relationship with a father or uncle. Another side character is implied to have children or nieces/nephews.

(Slight book vs. movie spoilers)
Stratt is slightly less abusive in the movie, and Ryland is slightly more forgiving of her. The ending is also left a little bit more open ended because (SPOILERS) he is given the opportunity to return to Earth whenever he wants. Per creator interviews, however, this was intended to depict MORE of a found family theme because staying with people who treat you better than your abusive background is much more powerful if you could leave at any time. (Personally I found it meaningful that when Ryland asks Stratt for time to think, he is given a 3 hour deadline, but when he asks Rocky, he is given the rest of his life.)

Someone is lied to, but they aren't made to think they're crazy, and the person who's lying is upfront that they lied earlier. By strict definition this isn't gaslighting, but if the issue is about lying/betrayal by someone you trust, then I *do* think this movie has that. Very YMMV.

Appendages Back to Top

Yes (but only mild/implied/indirect)
In the very very beginning of the film, a character does a highly comedic "ow my crotch" type of yelp as medical equipment is rapidly removed from his body.
Notes:
- No catheter is shown visually, but logically, we know one would need to be there.
- This scene is vastly minimized compared to the book. There's no blood at all.

[Yes] (All instances involve government agents during the backstory side plot)
1. When Grace is initially recruited to the project, he's stereotypically surrounded by agents and strong-armed into a car.
2. When Grace reports making a major discovery, agents return very quickly and strong-arm him into a military jet this time. (His bewilderment at the overkill of the situation is played for laughs.)
3. (MAJOR SPOILERS!) When Grace announces that he has decided not to go on the mission, it is revealed to him that he does not have a choice. Agents chase him down and inject him with a sedative in order to send him on the mission against his will.

One biggie from my memory, when Grace first encounters Rocky, when he enters his ship. You can easily tell it’s coming as the score fades out as Grace looks closer at the glass wall. It’s at the end of the first trailer.
Another smaller loud moment is towards the end of the film when Grace and Stratt are talking outside, an explosion happens, but you see it visually in the background of their conversation before you hear it, you have around 2 seconds before you hear a loud bang.

To traverse between the main character's ship and the alien's ship, they use a very dark narrow-ish tunnel (approx. 1.5-2 Ryan Goslings in diameter). I was spooked by the scene where he first enters it, but mainly because of how dark the tunnel is as I am not very much a claustrophobe.

I plugged my ears for the one described by another user and I was fine. Pills given, happens after getting off the plane into a traffic cone, off screen and very minimal noise. Completely for comedic effect.
What bothered me more was the coughing at the very start of the movie when he wakes up. Some liquid but no vomit. I would have been okay if I knew, but very unexpected.

The main character has amnesia, and slowly recovers his memories throughout the movie, represented as flashbacks. When he sees a rainbow which triggers his memory of being forcibly sedated, he is dazed and shocked, which can be seen as a PTSD flashback.
He also jumps and startles at loud or sudden noises a lot which could be a startle response.
Though the main characters experience traumatizing things, PTSD is not focused on or emphasized other than those flashbacks

If you are sensitive to throat noises, in the very first scene the main character is intubated, and a robot removes the tube on screen. This causes some coughing and choking sounds as he struggles to breath on his own but he is ultimately okay.

Very important tangent: There is SPINNY CAM. The spaceship achieves gravity via spinning, and the cinematography team took that and ran with it! Even scenes on Earth are occasionally filmed at an upside-down diagonal to symbolize instabiliy or whatever. During a scene with especially intense centrifugal forces, the spinning is especially bad, and even the soundtrack music "spins."
(I'm moderately susceptible to dizzying effects, and seeing this movie on a non-IMAX theater screen affected me about as much as one mild roller coaster ride.)

There are two particular moments during the film. Both are decently bass-heavy.
The first is a jumpscare about a third of the way into the film. It's not actually scary visually, but something appears suddenly and there's a scare chord. I personally don't think it's *that* bad, but as someone sensitive to loud noises it *did* make me jump due to how sudden it is. Grace will go through a dark tunnel and reach a wall at the end. When he does, brace yourself or plug your ears.
The second is about two-thirds to three-quarters through the film. IMO this one was louder, but the movie lets you know it's coming, so it won't catch you off-guard like the first. Something explodes off-screen in the distance, and you see a shockwave approaching. The loud noise happens when the shockwave reaches the characters.
So for this second one if the issue is not knowing the loud noise is coming, you should be okay. If the issue is the loud noise itself, you might want to weigh skipping this one in the theater, or bring something to help when the moment comes.
Outside of those two specific moments, you should be okay.

[NO] but there's a recurring instance of a character filming video diaries and looking directly at the audience as he does so. I believe there's special effects each time to make the movie screen look really obviously like a computer screen.

(Spoilers)
This is not discussed in the film, but Eridians are a mono-gendered species. Ryland decides to refer to Rocky with he/him pronouns (to match his own) for simplicity's sake, and Rocky never brings it up or seems bothered.

It you are sensitive to being mocked for intelligence differences, just know that the alien calls Grace ‘stupid’ a lot for thinking slow (in comparison to the alien), especially when Grace is tired, but it’s always in a lighthearted and teasing way, as there is a significant language barrier between them

Technically yes, but only in backstory/dialogue. (Spoilers) We learn that a few dozen sentient beings from a mono-gendered alien species have recently died of radiation poisoning.

The fact that a character doesn't have a significant other, any living family or "not even a dog", is used by a different character as an argument for why he should voulenteer for a suicide mission.
Many aro/ace people face having their lives devalued because of a lack of close connections, and this might hit a bit close to home.

Important note: zero instances of mental-health related suicide. All discussions/plans of suicide are in context of planning to avoid suffering when faced with certain starvation. (Spoilers) Due to various plot developments, no characters ever find themselves in that specific scenario, so none of the planned suicides occur.

Suicide and a method of how a character is planning on it is mentioned, but the phrase “I’m going to kill myself” is never said. Also, it is mentioned in context that is situational and not stemming from mental illness.

No, and the trope is stunningly subverted! A male character begins to openly weep, and the ensuing dialogue subtly mocks him for not expressing his emotions earlier.

No, with the caveat that there's a scene in which a character gets pinned down and sedated in a way that, in my experience, could reflect sexual assault enough to be triggering.

The credits themselves have very colorful and interesting space visuals but there is no actual scene. There are some cool closing logos after that, including the aforementioned MGM Lion, but that’s it.

[YES] (basically)
1. A science lab building (not the spaceship) blows up in a massive explosion with a shockwave that throws people to the ground. The film does not discuss the underlying physics of the explosion. The book explains that the energy comes from neutrinos and photons rather than the "nucleus" of an atom, but to the average person....YEAH it's basically a nuclear explosion. The explosion is caused by subatomic particles colliding and will visually remind audiences of nuclear bombs. (There's no radiation or distinct mushroom cloud, however.)
2. Book vs film note: The scene from the book where Stratt nukes Antarctica to release greenhouse gasses is NOT present in the film.
