Jumanji Reloaded
- Title: Zathura: A Space Adventure
- IMDb: link
Danny (Jonah Bobo) and Walter (Josh Hutcherson) are brothers left alone by their father (Tim Robbins) one afternoon, with their older sister Lisa (Kristen Stewart) ignoring them upstairs. Walter is the the bullying older brother who has outgrown Danny and thinks of himself as more mature than his little brother. Danny finds an old board game in the basement. Zathura is a game about space travel and to win you must be the first to the end. After Danny pushes the button the boys are trapped in the game as all sorts of things start to go wrong: meteor showers, spaceships full of Zorgons, the cryogenic freezing of their sister, a malfunctioning robot, and a stranded astronaut.
One of the best decisions in this movie is to center the movie on the boys and their reactions to what is happening. The director gets the bickering of brothers so good that in parts I wanted to pull out my hair to stop the whining. Kudos, but I wish you had turned it down just slightly.
