Zathura, a smart and stylish kid's adventure, launches into action when Danny (Jonah Bobo) twists the key of a dusty science fiction game--a game that unleashes a localized meteor shower and wrenches Danny's house into orbit around a distant ringed planet, bringing Danny's brother Walter (Josh Hutcherson, Kicking and Screaming) and sister Lisa (Kristen Stewart, Panic Room) along. Soon a defective robot, a rangy astronaut (Dax Shepard, Without a Paddle), and an alien spaceship enter the picture. Only by completing the game can the kids return their house to its proper space-time coordinates, but the game board falls into the hands of some nasty, carnivorous lizards. Zathura has some obligatory emotional conflict and resolution between the two brothers, but that's pretty much beside the point; what makes Zathura a delight is the wonderful design, the skillful escalation of disasters, and the adroit direction of Jon Favreau (Elf), who is quickly becoming the go-to guy for mass-market movies with wit and timing. Some situations may be too intense for younger kids; Favreau ratchets up the suspense at a few points. Based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg (Jumanji). Also featuring Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption). --Bret Fetzer

Enjoyable popcorn movie December 10, 2008
Two brothers, Danny and Walter, discover a old-fashioned game in a forgotten corner of an old house's cellar. With nothing better to do, they start in on the board game's imaginary space adventure, only to discover that it's not imaginary at all. When a playing card says "meteor shower," a hail of burning stones pummels their living room. Also, you should see the new view from the house's front door ...

Each new turn in the game adds to the adventure, which is pretty much all the movie is about. Oh, a sibling rivalry gets resolved along the way, but that seems an afterthought, pasted on so the plot has some kind of beginning and ending. An overbearing older sister in a permanent snit figures in, too, but just barely - the game sidelines her early on, then brings her back when a girly bit of screaming seems appropriate.

I haven't read Van Allsburg's children's book, the one that this movie comes from, so I can't say anything about the adaptation. That aside, this movie offers good commodity entertainment. It's kid-friendly (as long as your kid isn't too skittish), with enough action to keep a grown-up from falling asleep. If it never rises above the "rainy afternoon" category, that's fine. Rainy afternoons need movies too, so pop the popcorn and enjoy.

A Zorgon guide to house remodelling December 7, 2008
Although a little derivative Zathura is lifted above this shortcoming by a witty script and creative production design. Kids will love it and adults will find it charming. There's a moral here too, needless to say, but it doesn't intrude into the entertainment and the movie is never allowed to become too mawkish. The effects are top-notch, the young cast acquit themselves well, and Favreau's direction is nicely balanced. All in all Zathura is a couple of hours of fun that everyone with a healthy sense of adventure will enjoy.

happy December 1, 2008
I am so happy this dvd was in great condition. It was a preplayed/pre-viewed DVD from Blockbuster, but that is okay I always buy preplayed/pre-viewed, and the price was great. I brought the same movie from a pawn shop cause i could not find it but it turned out to be $5 more and did not work anyway and I could not return it. Then I checked on amazon and there it was and cheaper!!! I am very pleased. My kids love this movie. Thank you.

Zathura November 17, 2008
An excellent movie,(No Robin Williams is not in it). Watch it for what it is by itself. My Family and I have enjoyed watching this movie and all of our friends like to borrow it.
Worth the money, Worth the Watch.
