We went to see Mel Gibson's Apocalypto. It's easily the goriest movie I ever saw. (Dan says that is because I didn't see Passion of the Christ.)Apocalypto is rated R. That means: "No one under 17 admitted unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian." A rating NC-17 stands for "No Children 17 and under admitted."
All this means that as a parent, or guardian, you are free to bring your kids to pretty much any movie you want. Very few movies get the NC-17 rating.
There were little kids in the audience tonight that cried. We went to a 7:40 show. Apocalypto doesn't really have a story, but a mom and her little boy spend almost all of the 2 hours and 18 minutes at the bottom of a deep pit. That alone is scary if you are a kid. All the gore is just trimmings.
