Zathura

[Schris22]

I saw this movie a few nights ago.

I thought it was a good movie. It was a little more childish humor, so it's definatly something you can watch with the kids.

It is the same thing as jumanji in space. So if you liked jumanji then you might like this one.

Also, I couldn't turn it up too loud b/c of wallmates but I could easily tell that there was plenty of LFE for many of the scenes as well as a decent amount of surround effects.

It is 5.1 DD, no DTS.

Picture quality definatly wasn't the greatest thing. I got distracted by the grainess, but i got involved in the movie so that didn't matter.

6.5/10

Im a big fan of Kristen Stewart...

Far from her best role...was kind of dissapointed...but overall an ok movie.

4 outta 10. Cool plot, but just terrible acting and EXTREMELY bad picture throughout. jumanji was way better IMO.

Worth a once see, if you are extremely bored, and have kids! :)

Haven't seen this yet but it looks identical to Jumanji and is even created by the same people. How is it that Hollywood has got so low on ideas?

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

The movie is based on a book wrote by the same author that wrote Jumanji.

Thats why they are so similar. But yes, it sucked - the acting was terrible, even from Stewart - lame role all the way. It wasnt as exciting as Jumanji either, not enough stuff happened - gay robots and stupid lizards...bleh

Not High Art by any stretch, but a fun movie to watch with the kids.

Frank - Are you actualy referring to that movie....I think Patricia Clarkson is outstanding in that movie.

Patricia Clarkson rocked that movie!!! I love her. She was great in the Station Agent too. Hell! She's great in everything.

[dorokusai]

One of my top ten movies is the Station Agent, LOVE that movie. She's also good in The Upside of Anger. You're right, she's awesome.

Sorry for thread derail...

Frank - Are you actualy referring to that movie....I think Patricia Clarkson is outstanding in that movie.No I wasn't...never heard of it actually. I simply meant Zathura was not a great movie, but not a complete waste either.

[wingnut4772]

Yeah sorry for the derail..just had to give props:p . Zathura is on the Netflix queue so I guess I will see for myself. Not too excited though...

[*Seby*-Polk-]

I agreed with Schris. Is the same idea of Jumaji but in the space. An only aceptable movie...mi calification: 6/10.

Bye !!!

My 9year old daughter had a sleepover for her b/day with 9 kids. I bought the movie for them, turned it on went upstairs. Next thing you know they all came up screaming and crying about the sound comming from everywhere, they were scared when the meteor shower and robot came on! They really thought they were under attack, my daughter could not stop them, screaming and crying and refused to go back downstairs. They could not understand why I was happy about it but I considered that a great complement to my home theatre I built.

Props to audioslave for making the kids cry with super realistic surround sound. Props to wignut for mentioning station agent because now I am going to buy that movie.

[wingnut4772]

Yay!:D
