Review of Zathura (Special Edition)
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.

suspenseful
I love this movie!! It is full of excitement from beginning to end....wondering what will happen when they push the button. My four year old grandson was enraptured by it also clear to the end...usually glued to my side. I would ask him if he wanted to watch it again...said no....but as soon as I turned it on...there he was again....he loved the astronaught...and kept going around saying "they eat meat, and we are meat!"....too funny

Pleasurable Movie
A delightful movie for all ages. The actors did an outstanding job, even down to the annoying fights between the two brothers. It was chafe but added a certain authenticity between the siblings that most of us can relate to in our own experience. The movie kept my attention and I enjoyed it very much.

this is a neat kids movie
When you see the couch burning in outer space you know this movie is
a kid's fantasy version of sci fi, but that doesn't
make the excitement and adventure any less!
Some really funny stuff goes on in this movie like the teenage sister freezing solid
and the robot that wants to kill the alien life-form Walter...
I enjoyed the movie actually more than Jumanji,
but that same kind of lesions are taught.
Stepped in what and didn't wipe your feet after...

Definitely a great view!
This is an absolutely great film, and I cannot say enough how enjoyable it is. The acting skills of the two main protagonists (the two brothers) were great, and those two boys really made me believe they were brothers. Josh Hutcherson's acting skills were absolutely great, and if you are a fan of him, then you will not be disappointed by this film at all. If you liked Jumanji, then you will like this film, but the thing that sets this apart is the universal themes such as sibling rivalry and family problems. The cast of characters really worked well together, and the Dax Shephard character (the astronaut) had a big surprise towards the end of the film. The universal themes to which I had referred is what made me as the viewer get invested with the characters and develop a connection with them. While Tim Robbins had a cameo role in this film he really did a good job with providing a good setting for the family situation.
One thing that I loved about this film was the combination of old fashioned special effects along with CGI. As a result, the film seemed realistic unlike CGI nightmares like the original "Hulk" film which made me get bored seeing how fake it was. After watching the special features and seeing how the film was made especially made me appreciate the hard work that all of the actors, most especially the two youngest ones, did in this film.
The sister character was great, and though Kristen Stewarts time in this film was short she still was enjoyable. I suppose it is quality over quantity with regards to her appearance.
To sum up, this film really made me look at things in my own life and see how the worst of times can either make or break us. The storyline and acting was great by everyone in this film, and this film is really deep and not empty fantasy movie.
