One day American Denton Van Zan (MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY), chopper pilot Alex Jensen (IZABELLA SCORUPCO) and Van Zan's small army arrive at Quinn's compound looking for supplies and claiming to have killed dragons.
Quinn is suspicious of such claims, but when the Americans not only fend off an attack but also kill a hostile dragon, they begin to believe them and take some stock in their theory about how to kill the beasts. It seems that they've discovered that one male dragon is fertilizing the eggs of the many female dragons and have concluded that if they kill him, they'll wipe out the species. Armed with such knowledge and the belief that the creatures can't see that well at dusk, Van Zan and others then head off toward London in hopes of accomplishing their goal.
Some of those violent moments, others involving dragon attacks and people trying to hide and/or avoid being killed, and the general sight of the huge and menacing dragons might be unsettling, suspenseful or downright scary to some viewers, particularly younger ones. As always, however, that depends on their age, level of maturity and tolerance for such material.
Profanity consists of at least 3 uses of the "s" word, while other expletives and colorful phrases are also uttered. A few characters smoke or drink, some bad attitudes are present, and a boy sees that his mother has been killed.

For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, some brief moments of that occur early in the film.
