Zathura, the movie

Watched Zathura yesterday and it was worth watching it. The movie is funny, the boy is cute and most importantly, it has morale values that teaches you how to treasure your brother. IMDb has a total of 5.9/10 from 862 votes, CinemaOnline gave 3.5 out of 5 stars. As for me, I’d would give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.                                          

Synopsis
Two brothers discover an oblong box in the park, which they dismiss as “just some dumb old game.” The boys turn their attention away from the game’s “jungle adventure” board to discover a second game board inside with an outer-space theme and a colored path leading to the purple planet, Zathura. Mayhem ensues each time one of the boys draws a game card or rolls the dice. Facing meteors and giant robots, the brothers begin to appreciate each other and their sibling rivalry dissolves.

You’ll like little Danny (Jonah Bobo) and older boy Walter (Josh Hutcherson) for their endearing qualities (in spite of the bickering), and for acting and reacting like real brothers. In fact, their squabbling has such conviction that parents in the audience will surely say with wry recognition, “Uh-huh, they sounds just like my children.”

If you liked “Jumanji”, “The Polar Express”, “The Iron Giant”, you’ll enjoy Zathura as well.

So what are you waiting for? Go watch this movie and trust me, it’s worth the money!
