Zathura: A Space Adventure

Good movie for kids

Seriously underrated movie!! This is a hilarious and awesome family movie. It's entertaining and good for all ages. The young actors and actress in this are talented beyond their years, it doesn't feel like they are acting they seem like real siblings. I honestly think this might be Kristen Stewart best movie, she is so emotive in it and hilarious, she is great. And the two boys are just awesome especially the youngest one he is spot on with the younger brother role he had me cracking up a few times with his facial expression when he yells. Dax Shepard I'm not really a fan of I usually find him pretty obnoxious but he's great in this too . The action and effects are really good. The comedy is great, and not cheesy like some family movies. I genuinely laughed a few times as an adult rewatching this with my kids and I haven't seen it since I was about their age. I would go as far as to say this movie is even better than Jumanji, I know I know Jumanji is like a timeless classic but this one, the kid actors did such a good job and it's so underrated I think it's genuinely a better movie. I was not bored for a second watching it. It's entertaining from the first few minutes to the last few minutes.

Zathura is a cinematic gem that transcends generations, offering a timeless adventure that captivates audiences young and old. From the first frame to the last, the film's spellbinding narrative takes viewers on an intergalactic journey filled with wonder and excitement. The special effects are nothing short of spectacular, bringing the fantastical elements to life with breathtaking realism. The well-developed characters and their dynamic interactions add depth to the storyline, making it relatable and endearing. Zathura strikes the perfect balance between heartwarming moments and thrilling escapades, creating a movie that leaves a lasting impression. For anyone seeking a family-friendly, out-of-this-world experience, Zathura is a must-watch masterpiece.

In 1995 the movie "Jumanji" came out, based on a story by Chris Van Allsburg about two children playing a board game that came to life. When it became fairly successful, another short story of Van Allsburg in the same theme was turned into a movie. This was "Zathura". Whereas the Jumanji game centered around an African jungle safari, the setting of Zathura was rocket ships in outer space. Despite the nature of the board game, the movie "Zathura" is of the "fantasy" genre, not science fiction; the idea of children being magically transported into the universe of a board game is fantasy, and the universe depicted is a fantasized version of outer space that isn't intended to match reality (more on that later). Zathura was generally well-received by critics but tanked at the box office. However, despite the lack of success or of the star-power names its predecessor had, Zathura is actually the better movie. It is less pretentious than Jumanji, and similar to Pixar movies is packaged with a nice little moral (in this case regarding sibling rivalry) that is not horribly overdone. It also has surprisingly good special effects, much better than Jumanji's. The "Zathura" board game that the children find has a graphic style that looks like the covers of 1950's science-fiction pulp magazines. When the boys get launched into "outer space", instead of making the environment look like a REAL spaceflight the movie brings the campy 1950s-look of the board game to life and makes it quite realistic. "Sibling rivalry" was a prophetic theme for this movie, considering its older brother was a successful movie whereas this one sank in the theaters without making a ripple. Nonetheless, Zathura is the movie I'd watch again.

Love movies that mix comedy with horror and fantasy. Saw it a long time ago, Spotted it at a bargain price.

I love this movie

Think Jumanji in space. I think Zathura was a book turned movie and it was written by the same author as Jumanji. I never read the books, but the movies are fun. My son loves this movie and I enjoy watching it with him. Great movie.

Classic movie. Suspenseful. Kind of reminds me of a sci-fi version of the original jumanji movie. Our family loves it.

Das war ein sehr spannendes Film. Nicht nur für Kinder. Ganz toll

Son loves this - bought for his PSP. Already has Jumanji and this sort of follows the same idea but brought bang up to date with the sci-fi theme........ Certainly keeps him amused, works on the smaller screen with picture and sound.
