The movie Zathura: A space Adventure dvd was very entertaining and interesting to watch.

It's the same old game, Jumanji! This has a new setting and new penalties. It's fun to watch and see the different problems and the solutions found. The photography is worth seeing. The characters aren't engaging or even very real. Quarreling kids (or adults) have never been my idea of fun. Their reactions to the chaos are Ok and redemption is achieved. The enemy aliens are more fearsome as ships firing on the house than in person. I enjoyed it and recommend it to someone looking for a fun time.

This is a very good movie adaptation from a good book. Minus the two minor curse words, this is a nice family, fun movie. If you like sci-fi, you'll get a luke-warm feeling from this movie but a very heart warming ending. The two young leads are great as the two brothers finally coming together to work out a difficult situation. Mix in the clever Dax Shepard and the beautiful Kristen Stewart, and you have a family favorite. I highly recommend Zathura and give it a "take-it-all-now" rating of 4 out of 5! Thank you and keep on ebaying!
I bought this movie for my son (age 8). He and his little brother (age 4) love this movie because it's definitely geared towards their age bracket. If you liked "Jumanji", you'll probably like this movie because it has the same essence except it involves outer space instead of 'the jungle'. (Only thing is that Jumanji seemed to have a little more depth in it's tale and better special effects.) I bought "Zathura" particularly because my son kept requesting it at the store and I found a better deal online. I'd say it's definitely a 'kid movie', and it's a good movie to have as part of your 'kid collection'. My kids are happy with it - so as a parent, so am I!
I have read som many reviews from people who absolutely hated this movie, complaining about the "cheesy special effects" and the actors themselves. My 4 year old son and I love this movie. It's actually one of the few that I can stand watching (sometimes over and over). I think the young actors did a great job of portraying the average sibling rivalry situations in alot of families. The special effects were great, and just another reason why I really liked this movie. The director himself says that he was shying away from all CGI effects that are used in ALL movies now in days, so he could avoid the "video game" effect they leave. The robot costumes and huge Zorgon lizard costumes were actually there on set. My son LOVED the Zorgons and robot!! We even rushed out and bought him the Zathura board game. As far as the language that other people have complained about, I think there are like 3 instances (that I can remember) where some questionable words and phrases are used. My son's reaction? Nothing at all. We don't speak like that in my home therefor he never even noticed the swear words. He didn't bring it up and neither did I. Bottom line: this a great, fun movie that parents and children can watch together and actually enjoy.Read full review
