'Avatar' is also showing in 3D and IMAX 3D versions. These versions may be unsuitable for younger or more sensitive children.
'Avatar' is a science fiction action adventure film about humans' attempts to mine a far-off planet. The film contains moderate violence and intense battle scenes. The violence occurs in scenes where characters are killed or injured and which occasionally show arrows piercing bodies. There are fight scenes where characters are occasionally heavily kicked or punched, and in one fight scene, a man wearing a large metal body armour suit repeatedly stabs at a fantastical creature. However, these scenes do not feature gory images, lack stronger detail and do not emphasise injuries or blood. Blows or points of impact are generally impressionistic or occur off-screen. The battle scenes towards the end of the film are prolonged and intense and include scenes where the heroic characters are attacked or threatened. Although the context is clearly fantastical, the scenes are long and sympathetic characters are placed in grave danger. The film contains some moderate and mild language, including uses of 'bitch' and 'piss'. There are occasional scenes showing an older character smoking, which is not presented as promotional or glamorous. The film also contains a mild and oblique verbal drug reference ('what have you been smoking out there?') and a very mild sex reference, when a female character states that she and a male character are 'mated'. No-one younger than 12 may see a '12A' film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. No-one younger than 12 may rent or buy a '12' rated video or DVD. Responsibility for allowing under-12s to view lies with the accompanying or supervising adult.
