Dune: Part Two
This sweeping sci-fi epic is a visually stunning but very intense film, packed with frequent battle violence, disturbing imagery, implied sexual content, and heavy themes of war, prophecy, and political manipulation. It earns every bit of its PG-13 rating and then some, running nearly three hours at a dark, serious tone throughout.
Best suited for teens 14 and up, ideally those already familiar with the Dune story.

The film opens with a large-scale Fremen ambush including hand-to-hand combat, gunfire, and soldiers being killed; sets the film's consistently intense violent tone immediately.
The first extended sand worm riding sequence features an enormous, roaring creature that is likely to frighten younger or sensitive viewers.
A gladiatorial arena scene shows the villain taunting drugged opponents before killing them; includes throat-slashing and a stomach stabbing performed with visible relish by the villain.
