Is it safe for my kids to watch?:
I recommend this movie to kids who are older than 13 years old. The entire movie is extremely intense with constant gunfire and peril to the characters. The soundtrack adds even more tension. From the first scene to the very last, a ticking sound effect, as from a clock, is heard. It gets faster during more intense scenes and slower. Some intense scenes are during the planes shooting at each other, also known as a dogfight. A pilot is in an intense situation and doesn't think he will survive much longer. Another pilot's cockpit latch does not open when the plane is sinking. Soldiers are under constant fire by planes and surrounding enemy soldiers. Bomb blasts are heard throughout the movie. A boat gets hit by a torpedo and several people inside are trapped swimming around in the water. Soldiers are covered in ash from nearby fires.
Overall: I love world war two history. I was waiting for the release of this movie for about a year. The only thing to watch out for are some of the intense scenes written above. Other than that, another flawless masterpiece by Nolan.
