Zathura: A Space Adventure Movie Download In Mp4

Two young brothers are drawn into an intergalactic adventure when their house is hurled through the depths of space by the magical board game they are playing.
Danny and Walter are two brothers who barely get along even while driving their parents to distraction as their older sister tries to ignore them. Despite their squabbling, the brothers manage cooperate enough to play an old mechanical board game named Zathura. However, after their first move, they find that the game has apparently flung them, their sister and their entire house into outer space. Furthermore, the brothers surmise the only way to return home is to finish the game. However with almost every move, new dangers arise as the siblings find themselves learning to cooperate in ways they never expected as they realize what they mean to each other.
The first half of this movie qualifies as a worthy successor to the sublime "Jumanji." All those involved seem in full control of the material and tone, plot, and character remain in nearly perfect sync. As a result, this section ranks among the best American film-making of 2005. (Which, alas, may not be saying all that much.) But beginning with the scene in which the two brothers build a fire in the kitchen, the movie begins to slowly lose its grip and the second half -- though far from being a disaster -- seems slightly disappointing. Part of the problem may lie in the movie's attempts to resolve the rivalry between the two brothers. This involves a rather bizarre plot twist. What's more, the script never quite succeeds in having this resolution grow inevitably out of the situation. Rather the resolution seems to be simply layered on top of the story in rather a clumsy fashion. Still, consider this review a recommendation for a movie that's better than a lot of past Oscar nominees.
I started watching this movie with the high hopes of this being a Jumanji follow-up with some great space adventure add-ons, but I ended up being a bit disappointed.<br/><br/>In fact the movie is not half as much about a space adventure as it is about family and family relations - mainly about the two kid brothers who can&#39;t stand each other. Now that might make for a nice background for the story, but in order to make a nice space adventure movie that picture should be painted in the first fifteen minutes at maximum; at which moment it is time for the big bonding moment and the movie can get started.<br/><br/>Not in this movie, oh no! The kids scream at each other and yell simultaneously for the first 75 minutes, and that for a movie with approx. 90 minutes running time. In the mean time the usual amount of wanton destruction happens, but we knew that from Jumanji.<br/><br/>To sum up, the story could have been better, the special effects could have been better, the lead roles could have been better - Nay, it is certainly not as good as Jumanji.
Favreau again delivers that rare beast -- a family film that even childless adults can enjoy.
Both Jumanji and Zathura are based on novels by Chris Van Allsburg; in the book version of Zathura, the Zathura board game is found inside Jumanji, but an astronaut living inside Zathura claims to have created Jumanji.<br/><br/>Zathura director Jon Favreau discouraged the notion that the film is a sequel to the earlier film Jumanji, having not particularly liked that film. Both he and Chris Van Allsburg stated that Zathura is very different from Jumanji. No characters from Jumanji appear in Zathura.<br/><br/>However, reviewers disagreed, saying the films were very similar, one dismissing Zathura as &quot;Jumanji in space without Robin Williams.&quot; Due to the usage of an aerosol as a blowtorch two scenes of the British version were cut in order to get a PG rating from the BBFC. In both cases shorter alternate material is used. a5c7b9f00b
