The fight scenes may be too intense for younger viewers

Do not rely on the PG13 rating of this movie. It is almost on par with an R rated movie in terms of violence and body count. While nothing graphic is shown, the violence is still quite unsettling.

The final half an hour of this movie is filled with apocalyptic scenes, with flaming rocks raining from the volcano and destoying buildings, tidal waves from the sea mowing down everything in their path and widespread death and destruction. Young viewers may find it disturbing.
