My 4 year old is afraid of the movies - I don't know why but he is. I've taken him to see two, Horton hears a Who and Up. He loves Horton and had no problem in the theater once he got in. Up was a little over his head though, he had no problem in there.

I've shown him the trailer for Transformers and he loves it on the small screen - on the big screen I think he would poop his pants.

He's a little bit of a chicken ***** (by 4 year old standards). He's grows out of it though. For a while he was afraid of Pirates of the Caribbean at Disney but now he loves it.

There were two boys in front of us, one appeared around 4 or 5 and the other probably 6ish and they seemed to have no problem. Still, I don't think this movie is appropriate for them (no judgment on you - he's your kid) but I think it would depend on the kid.

Mine is definitely not ready for it.
