Great movie, but scary and somehow too "realistic..."

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2020)

My almost 6 year old son was very excited to see this movie. He loves robots, superheroes, sci-fi (especially Star Wars and Transformers) and Disney/Pixar. He was confused and scared by the amount of death and destruction. I think it may be because the movie seems so much more realistic than others. The animation is very life-like and unlike Wreck it Ralph/Incredibles/The Lego Movie, etc, the setting, while futuristic, isn't cartoonishly fantastic, which I think makes the character's grief, fear and anger seem very intense. We had to leave the theater early.
I loved it! And my son loved many aspects of the film, but ultimately he was overwhelmed. Even if you don't think of your kid as especially sensitive, he/she may be overwhelmed by this one...
