TRON: ARES
Rated PG-13 for violence/action.
What it’s about: The third TRON movie sees the grid invading the real world as two tech companies strive for AI dominance.
The kid attractor factor: Not much. Maybe some appeal for teens in the aesthetic and spectacle.
Good lessons/bad lessons: AI is only as good as the person who wields it. Independent thinking and empathy are tantamount.
Violence: Some action, destruction, violence and fighting. Stabbing, death, etc.
Language: None
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: A bit too action-packed and intense for kids. Fine for teens.

ROOFMAN
Rated R for language, nudity and brief sexuality.
What it’s about: The wild true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a career robber who spent months living in a Toys R Us.
The kid attractor factor: This is more of a quirky adult dramedy than kids movie.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Sometimes people make bad choices while trying to do good.
Violence: Armed robberies, chasing, punching, gun-wielding, etc.
Language: Swearing throughout.
Sex: A sex scene and some male nudity (butt).
Drugs: Some on screen marijuana use.
Parents’ advisory: Not much appeal for kids, but fine for older kids and teens.
