Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Science-fiction battles, weapons, a tyrannical villain and large-scale destruction create peril. Expect mild rude humor and some sad family history.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
