The Professional Verdict: While children as young as 8 can watch, the complex plot might be boring for younger audiences. It is an excellent "career lesson" film for teenagers.

3. Which Format is Best?

Dolby Cinema (Winner): Pro recommendation. Dolby Vision (HDR) makes colors pop with realism.

IMAX 70mm: Great for scale, but extra height isn't vital. Choose for Miranda’s iconic giant glares.

4DX: Avoid. You don’t need your seat shaking while characters discuss a magazine layout.
