Zathura: A Space Adventure
After seeing the original Jumanji as a kid and being sold this movie in 2005 as the "spiritual sequel" to Jumanji my interest was piqued nearly 20 years ago. And then the reviews came out and <PERSON> said its the film Jumanji but the board game is a space one instead. And when i read those reviews i honestly couldnt be bothered with it. 1004
So, nearly 20 years later i thought i would finally give it a go.
And yes, it is a charming entertaining family fun movie with some fun acting from young <PERSON> and <PERSON>. <PERSON> plays single dad who loves his kids and struggles well. <PERSON> is great and i honestly wish i had seen him in more movies too.
However, two problems.
1) it really is just <PERSON> in space.
2) theres a twist towards the end that i simply dont understand or, well i do, but it may have been explained so poorly by the film, that i wish i didnt understand.
Other than that, its a lot of fun. 577
