Imagine sitting down to play Risk and as you roll the dice, you find yourself REALLY commanding an army with cannons firing, horses rearing, and men shooting muskets at you. Enter the world of Jumanji. Whoops – I mean Zathura.
The movie is about two troubled brothers who find a realistic game and are forced to rely on each other to survive.. Fear builds with each turn but you kind of knew what was going to happen because it’s in the trailer. Some elements are not believable – like, how do you breathe the air in space without a tank? Zathura is a lot like Jumanji (and they are sibling games/movies because it is the same producers) . . . so if you’ve Jumanji, you’ve seen Zathura. Ages 7 and up.
