DS has seen it, I had not.
I was going to watch before we went but decided to purposely not.
This way we had two completely different views of the land.
Well, I loved the land and the fantasy of it and thought not seeing did not overall hinder me.
I really didn't get the whole river ride and what the point was, and it's lack of Navi ...
But DS said the same exact thing having seen the movie, kinda pointless.
We both felt we should have had a river guide, even if just a voice, to explain all.
It is stunning and beautiful but I wouldn't wait in a long line for it.
I knew going in, and still hold by my thoughts .... that the lack of Navi in the land ...
really does diminish the experience, and makes me feel like they are all dead.
I've been to it three times now, and I just feel like it's a mystical land and
there really is no story because there is no "life" just plants etc.
So my feeling is for younger children ... if they see the movie, then get to the land,
and see no Navi, they may have that same feeling as I had ....
... so not sure I would show them for that reason, on top of the more adult language etc.
Kids can have that expectation, I deal with that with my other DS (disabled),
once he sees a movie, there is the expectation that it will be more literal, rather than implied.
PS I have since tried to watch it twice and don't make it too far
because it quickly became hokie and cheezy ..
... one of these days I'll make it further and maybe get to some decent stuff.
