| Professional Reviews | (03/01/2006, p.84, Matthew Taylor): "Favreau and his effects team have fun with the retro-futurist stylings of the game....The relatively restrained use of computer imagery is refreshing...", (11/11/2005, p.E13, Stephen Holden): "In the enchanted limbo between waking and sleeping, ZATHURA feels both real and unreal, like a dream you could shake off at any moment.", (11/18/2005, p.103, Scott Brown): "ZATHURA is a rarity: a stellar fantasy that faces down childhood anxieties with feet-on-the-ground maturity." -- Grade: A- |
