It follows Jake and Neytiri as their family deals with loss and faces a new threat from the Ash People, a fierce Na’vi tribe led by Varang. The film is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for intense violence, action scenes, bloody images, some strong language, and thematic elements that touch on grief, war, and family struggles.

Parents should know this movie runs over three hours and packs a lot of action that might scare younger kids. Children under 12 are not recommended to watch it because of scary scenes, violence, and heavy themes, according to Children and Media Australia. Kids aged 12 to 14 may need parental guidance for the same reasons. Details on age suitability are available at https://childrenandmedia.org.au/movie-reviews/movies/avatar-fire-and-ash.
Violence is the biggest concern. The story focuses on war between Na’vi clans, with battles on flying creatures and in the sea. Characters get impaled by spears, shot with arrows in the throat or chest, and crash to the ground after fights. There are gun battles too, and Neytiri fires explosive arrows that make enemies burst into fireballs. Blood shows up in splatters, though the PG-13 rating keeps gore from getting too extreme. Plugged In notes the nonstop destruction and percussive gunfire as key issues for families. See their full breakdown at https://www.pluggedin.com/movie-reviews/avatar-fire-and-ash-2025/.
Language includes some strong words, but it’s not constant. Themes involve worship of a Mother Goddess figure on Pandora, along with sensuality from the new villain Varang, who brings a ruthless edge to the mix. Family tensions play out, like worries over adopted human son Spider, who risks death without his oxygen mask. Parent Previews confirms the PG-13 elements and suggests caution for sensitive viewers.

The visuals in 3D are stunning, especially the Pandora landscapes and creature fights, but the intense battles and emotional grief make it better for teens and adults. Talk to your kids about the violence and war themes beforehand to decide if it fits your family.
