This movie contains 22 potentially triggering events.
The protagonist's father went missing when he was a child, and he feels like he was abandoned, and it's a significant part of the movie and his character. There's a scene where the movie appears to confirm that his father deliberately abandoned and rejected him, but this turns out to be a narrative fake-out, and later it turns out that his father was separated by circumstances beyond his control and against his will.
The protagonist's clothes are cut off with lasers by female digital characters while his is immobilized. A latex-like suit immediately propagates on his body. Use your discretion.
Near the beginning of the film, a digital character who is panicked over being essentially sentenced to fight as a gladiator breaks free from his captors and throws himself off of their craft, screaming "Delete me!" He falls and collides with a turbine, smashing into pixels. In the gladiator scene, at least one character falls through the floor and appears to fall endlessly into nothing. There is also a scene in which the protagonists are trapped in a falling elevator, but they manage to stop it.
The protagonist is captured and transported against his will. He also is unwillingly registered in the digital world's system and essentially thrown into a gladiator's stadium. Another character is captured within enemy territory and held captive for some time. Use your discretion.
There's a body of water in the city where the protagonist lives which appears in several scenes (looking at the view from the protagonist's waterfront home, while crossing a traffic bridge, etc.). There's also the "Sea of Simulation" in the computer world, which looks like a large body of water.
Early in the movie, a character who is being held captive is shown panicking and pleading to not be assigned to a particular task. When an attempt is made to lead him away, he breaks free and commits suicide.
Near the beginning of the film, a digital character who is panicked over being essentially sentenced to fight as a gladiator breaks free from his captors and throws himself off of their craft, screaming "Delete me!" He collides with a turbine and smashes into pixels.
One of the computer people who dies is extremely flamboyant, but we have no information about his sexuality (or the sexuality of any of the other computer people, if they even have sexuality).
Minimal blood. In the gladiator scene, the protagonist is identified as human when he is cut with a weapon and bleeds. The wound is not shown or addressed again.
One of the antagonists fires into a brawling crowd with a cane that functions approximately like a ray gun. The jet-like vehicles have mounted guns and dogfight.
