The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies | PG-13

It serves well as a prequel to the three Lord of the Rings films. While it may not be non-stop action, it certainly comes close. It even manages some sly humor, and some touching romance. As it has been throughout the trilogy, the cinematography and special effects are stunning.
