77 BOLD ScoutScore

For most 10 year olds, Avatar: Fire and Ash is early, and the reason is what the movie is actually about. It scores 77 on the ScoutScore, in the Bold tier, and it is a war movie painted in colors kids want to live inside: sustained raids on villages, children in combat, and a scene where a hero prepares to execute a captive. The spectacle is the draw. The cruelty is the plot.

A ScoutScore is a living number. We re-check movies against the source and raise or lower it when we find something the first pass missed, so a score you see today can differ from one you saw last month.

War⁠ painted in colors kids want to live inside. Wait until the conversation about what Jake almost does is one your kid can have, not just survive⁠.
