While these upcoming movies are bound to be entertaining, Movieguide® encourages viewers to read our reviews before going to theaters.
By providing a Christian perspective on a movie’s messages, Movieguide®’s reviews help guide users’ discernment about a movie beyond simple entertainment value. Movieguide® offers a comprehensive look at a movie’s messaging, noting elements such as profanity, nudity, sex and violence, along with the worldview and themes that the movie promotes.
Acceptability is rated on a scale from +4 to -4.
A +4 means ” Biblical, usually Christian, worldview, with no questionable elements whatsoever,” while a -4 denotes “intentional blasphemy, evil, gross immorality, and/or worldview problems. (To be avoided).”
Movieguide® also rates a movie’s quality, looking at its production value and entertainment quality on a scale of one to four stars. However, a high-quality rated movie may not be acceptable due to its messages and worldview.
While Movieguide® believes it is important for any moviegoer to be wise about the movies they consume, it is essential for parents to understand the content that their children are consuming. With this in mind, every Movieguide® review makes a special note about the elements in the movie that could cause problems for children.
