I was the right age when I watched this movie. I actually remembered seeing this at the pictures. The robot scared me the most. A big hunk of metal with red eyes and a buzz saw for a hand, who is played by the guy who voices Yoda. What's not to be scared about.

When the eight-year-old kid calls his older brother a "d---", it's your right to be offended that such phallic slang should be uttered in a family film, or you can take it as a homage to "E.T." when Elliot calls his brother "penis When the eight-year-old kid calls his older brother a "d---", it's your right to be offended that such phallic slang should be uttered in a family film, or you can take it as a homage to "E.T." when Elliot calls his brother "penis breath". And since screenwriter David Koepp has collaborated with Spielberg on "Jurassic Park", "The Lost World", & "War of the Worlds", the seemingly anachoristic word might be the case of a scribe chiding his boss for excising "penis breath" from the special edition of "E.T." As the older sister, Kristen Stewart is not an adolescent who's desexualized and Disney-fied, which adds a little realism to counterbalance the preposterous notion that a house can fly. The referencing of a Catherine Hardwicke film is a funny aside Jon Favreau might've written-in to remind people that he used to be an indie guy. "Zathura" is watchable, largely because the actors aren't overwhelmed by special effects, but it would've been more fun to see Stewart "hook-up". Expand

Its actually a really hearty movie with fantastic effects and great use of the story, even if it can be really predictable. Its still fun to watch.

It's extremely far from the best SCI-FI film ever made, but Zathura contains exceptional special effects, often yet spaced excitement and decent performances from Hutcherson, Bobo and Shepard.

Average not great, it gets so annoying with these 2 brothers, although it has a great visuals but the important thing is the message beneath this boring movie.

Zathura: A Space Adventure is a big spectacle of a movie that doesn't come out of its shell enough for its true potential to show. Instead, it goes for a more family-friendly approach that is good for what it is.

"Zathura: A Space Adventure" entertains the young viewers with good story and amazing visual effects, however most of the time the movie is boring and very predictable.

Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. Enough of a story to keep children entertained. Story is a pale comparison to Jumanji.
