It's not overly gory but I wouldn't recommended it for a ten year old.

Midway
Rating & Content Info
Why is Midway rated PG-13? Midway is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sequences of war violence and related images, language and smoking.

Violence: There is almost constant war-related violence. People are bombed, burned, drowned, and shot. Notable violence includes an individual burning their palms severely, an individual being tied to an anchor and thrown overboard, and the burned remains of several people being shown.
Sexual Content: None.
Profanity: There is a singular use of extreme profanity, six uses of scatological cursing, nine moderate profanities, and dozens of mild swears and terms of deity.
Alcohol / Drug Use: Individuals are shown drinking socially and smoking cigarettes

Thanks. PG and R ratings are easy to figure out, but PG-13 is a huge grey area.

Couldn't find it, but here's more good info. Might be worth watching to see if the movie is historically accurate.

There are a lot of zombie movies, and I'm generally not a fan.

But the Korean film Train to Busan transcends the genre.

It's being remade as an American movie -- which will likely be terrible like most studio remakes are.

Thanks for that recommendation... Just watched that subtitled (as my Korean is non existent), it's very clever all they could do with that simple concept... Visually too...
Very good if you like decent Zombie movies... It's got some extra "juice" during a coronavirus epidemic too...

Minimal CGI and beautifully shot.
The stamina of these dogs is amazing. They just love to run!

I just re-watched "Patton" after more than 30 years!

Great movie & the Remastered version is just beautiful.

Oblivion. 2004 scifi movie with Tom Cruise. Story of a space man on a devastated earth. way too complicated plot line but I liked it anyway.

I liked Oblivion a lot. Decent sci-fi, good effects that weren't over the top. Much more recent than 2004, though.

Just saw The Invisible Man. On the edge of my seat through most of the movie- pretty good.

1/2 way into the invisible man right now. I normally like suspense but this is really slow. Going to try to get to the end.

A modern classic. I'd like to see a follow on movie but it could all go "pear shaped" very easily.
