A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) An enjoyable film in the same line as Jumanji. Three siblings are launched into outer-space in their house after they kickstart an old board game they find in the basement. As their game progress, every thing the game says, happens in real life... be it a robot getting out of control, a meteor shower, or being attacked by Zorgons, a race of lizard-like aliens. I thought the emotional bond between the two brothers was portrayed nicely, but the older sister seems to be there just for the purpose of having a female actress somewhere. Tim Robbins makes a small cameo

Zathura (2005) might have some flaws, but it still does a pretty good job building up this fantastic scifi world with emotion and drama; probably better than Jumanji did. #FilmSky #AlphabetLoot #LetterZ
