Description:
In Columbia Pictures' heart-racing sci-fi adventure Zathura, two squabbling brothers are propelled into deepest, darkest space while playing a mysterious game they discovered in the basement of theirold house. On their fantastic journey, they are joined by a stranded astronaut and must survive meteor showers, hostile lizard-like aliens, a rocket-propelled robot run amok and an intergalactic spaceship battle. Unless they finish the game and reach the planet Zathura, they could be trapped in outer space forever.
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - happy
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.
Rating: - Zathura
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.
Rating: - Zathura - an exceptional experience
This is a wonderful movie on many levels. Characters are well developed, the action is exciting and the underlying theme of forgiveness makes this a great movie for all ages. This movie is going on my most watched list.
Rating: - Great family movie!
This is a great family movie! Has all the elements to keep you glued to your seat - from beginning to end. Even adults will find themselves happy they tuned in....So get the snacks ready and settle in for an awesome movie! The story - without giving away too much - is about two brothers who find themselves with an old board game that the younger brother is anxious to play while the older one begrudgingly agrees to play - with much complaining. Parents are gone for the evening and an older sister - who is supposedly babysitting, has better "teenage" things to do in her room (no worries, everything is clean in this movie)...
Well, once the board game begins, all chaos breaks loose! There's everything that makes a great movie GREAT! Explosions, fighting, monsters, heros! The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat! The acting is excellent without the heavy egos of the top celebrity names. I've heard there's a copy cat movie called Jumnji, haven't seen it, nor do I have any plans to see it. This is one rare family movie that really captures all the great adventures into one fantastic story.
Rating:  - ZATHURA ROCKS
My kids LOVE!!!!! this movie. Except for a slightly scary part in the middle, my 6 year old twins have watched this movie over and over and over again for the past 2 weeks. My son is AOK with the ZORGON creatures, but my daughter has to leave the room for a short time when they appear. Otherwise, I would recommend watching this movie for yourself in order to better judge the reaction your own child will have to the ZORGON's. ENJOY
