Actor-turned-director Jon Favreau (SWINGERS, ELF) delivers another work of intelligent, charming family fare with this space adventure, based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg (JUMANJI). Older brother Walter (Josh Hutcherson) and the younger Danny (Jonah Bobo) are constantly at war with one another, bickering over the mediating voice of their long-suffering father (Tim Robbins). When he has to go to the office to replace some papers the boys destroyed in their crossfire, he leaves them in the dubious care of older sister Lisa (Kristen Stewart), who is sleeping upstairs. When Danny discovers an old board game called Zathura stored in the basement, his excitement is lost on Walter, who has no time for such old, boring toys.

Professional Reviews
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-

Jumanji in Space! ZATHURA

Pros: Action packed family friendly adventure movie with brilliant Special Effects.

Not great cinema, but a fun movie, and a good way to keep the kids occupied for two hours. Read More at Epinions.com

Jumanji in Space

Author's Rating: Rating: 3/5 stars

Pros: a good subplot with lots of heart, some suspense

Cons: low-rent effects, ironically lacks imagination

Bottom Line:
Not quite a thrillride, this family adventure is heartfelt fun, if you can overlook the illogic of the story. Read More at Epinions.com

Jumanji goes out of the world!! Literally!!

Author's Rating: Rating: 3/5 stars

Pros: Josh and Jonah

Cons: Same storyline as Jumanji, Pales in comparison with Jumanji!!

Bottom Line:
Zathura was conceived as a direct sequel to Jumanji and pales in comparison with the original. An average movie. Read More at Epinions.com

Zathura - Jumanji Jr. in space.

Author's Rating: Rating: 3/5 stars

Pros: Nice effects and funny.

Cons: Predictable and the kids are not all that likeable.

Wait, did they remake Jimanji in space?

Author's Rating: Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: Family Film
Kristen Stewart's Performance

Cons: The rest of the cast
Predictable
Unimaginative

Bottom Line:
Cashing in on Jimanji's success, Zathura offers so little. My kids couldnt' sit through it, and I do NOT RECOMMEND this film. Rent it if you must see it. Read More at Epinions.com
