A little dark and scary for younger viewers

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2013)

Although I see where the movie was going w. its plot line...I felt this movie is a little too dark and scary for young children. There are various references to killing and death, poor language w. words like dummy and the like...There was a scene that showed the "belt" toting a knife and threatening one of the family members. My kids are very empathetic and worried constantly for the characters' well being. The minute I thought we were past the conflict scenes, another would show up. I took my 6 and 3 yr olds and personally would have skipped the first portion of the movie. We get it, to Grug the outside world is dangerous, but was it necessary to put sooooooo many life threatening scenes in this movie? My kids had their eyes covered for most of the beginning of the movie. How can you connect w. the characters and build your base if you're scared they'll be killed right from the start!? The threat of lava, dangerous animals (LOTS), crumbling ground... and really guys, the swarming flesh eating birds were completely unnecessary! That's just my opinion...Once they got toward the end, they seemed okay.
