Jurassic World: parents' guide

12+our pick

Best for ages 12 and up. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril.

A crowd-pleasing dinosaur thriller for kids who can handle a lot of chomping. When a genetically engineered predator escapes at a packed theme park, dozens of people are eaten, stomped or carried off, and two brothers spend much of the film in danger. Some blood shows on wounds and dinosaur mouths, and one woman's long, drawn-out death is especially upsetting. Expect around half a dozen s-words, a couple of kisses and light flirting. The brothers' parents are divorcing, and a scene with a dying dinosaur is sad. We suggest 12 and up.

What's in it

Violence

Moderate

Dozens die: people are snatched by flying reptiles, swallowed by a giant sea creature, stomped and bitten, with blood on walls and foliage. Dinosaurs maul each other, soldiers fire machine guns, and a man is punched in the face.

Language

Moderate

About half a dozen s-words, three or four each of "damn" and "hell," an "ass" and a "bitch" or two, "oh my God" five or six times and one "Jesus." No f-words.

Sex and nudity

Mild

Owen and Claire flirt, with a joke about humans needing to mate, and later kiss. A teen boy eyes girls despite having a girlfriend back home. Some fitted, low-cut tops.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Mild

A man flees the attack clutching two margaritas, Owen jokes about tequila, and a worker calls a sedated dinosaur stoned.

Scary or intense scenes

Strong

Long stretches of suspense and jump scares, with two boys in a glass ride attacked by the predator and later cornered by raptors. Flying reptiles swarm the crowds, and a wounded long-necked dinosaur dies in front of the heroes.

Sensitive topics

  • Animal death

Worth talking about

The park builds a scarier dinosaur to keep crowds coming back. When does chasing bigger thrills or bigger profits cross a line?
