According to the Jakarta Post and Kompas, the Avengers: Infinity War (avengers) edition for Indonesian audiences will only be 149 minutes instead of 156 minutes as the standard version. The president of the Censorship Institute, Ahmad Yani Basuki, confirmed that he had signed the cut decision. He explained that this was an act to protect young audiences from abusing violence in a PG - 13 work.

PG-13, is not that terrible? It should be really shocking. "
