This October, you’d better buckle up for the arrival of the special effects extravaganza, Tron: Ares. The new sci-fi film – the latest entry in the Tron movie series – hits cinema screens early into the month, and promises to excite and entertain in equal measure.
Will it achieve this goal? All will be revealed in the fullness of time, but one thing is for sure, Tron: Aresis shaping up to be a big release.
Directed by Joachim Rønning, the film stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Gillian Anderson, and Jeff Bridges. The movie follows a sophisticated computer program who is sent from the digital realm into the real world, and it is sure to attract the attention of audiences of all ages.
But attracting audiences of all ages and being suitable for all ages is two separate things. So, how suitable is Tron: Ares?
Is it going to be fine for a young audience? Well, let’s take a look at the age rating to find out.

Tron: Ares UK age rating
In the UK, Tron: Ares has been awarded a ‘12A’ certificate by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). The movie has received this rating due to “moderate violence (and) threat.”
In the UK, a ‘12A’ is generally deemed suitable for audiences aged 12 or over, as it may contain some material which is not suitable for very young children. However, children under the age of 12 can watch a ‘12A’ in a UK cinema, so long as they are accompanied by an adult.
In this instance, it is up to individual parents to decide if this specific movie is suitable for their child. For example, some eight-year-olds are fine with ‘12A’ films and some are not.
If you’re unsure whether or not Tron: Ares will be suitable for your child, you could always take a look at the film first, before taking your son(s) or daughter(s) to see it. This may help you form a better decision.
However, as a quick rule of thumb, which may help, many of the big superhero movies (especially Marvel films) tend to carry a ‘12A’ certificate, as do the Jurassic World films. If your child is fine with the material presented in these films, then they may be fine with Tron: Ares.

Tron: Ares US age rating
In the US, Tron: Ares has received a ‘PG-13’ rating by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). In the US, when it comes to ‘PG-13’ rated movies, parents are urged to be cautious as some material may be unsuitable for pre-teenagers.
However, there is no stipulations or limitations on who can watch a ‘PG-13’ movie. The rating is in place as a guide, and any child of any age can watch a ‘PG-13’ at the cinema.
For context, the Avengers movies and the Spider-Man movies are all ‘PG-13’ rated movies. So, if your kids are fine with those films, they may be fine with Tron: Ares.
