-Tim
Robbins
Actor-turned-director
Jon
Favreau
(SWINGERS,
ELF)
delivers
another
work
of
intelligent,
charming
family
fare
with
this
space
adventure,
based
on
the
book
by
Chris
Van
Allsburg
(JUMANJI).
Older
brother
Walter
(Josh
Hutcherson)
and
the
younger
Danny
(Jonah
Bobo)
are
constantly
at
war
with
one
another,
bickering
over
the
mediating
voice
of
their
long-suffering
father
(Tim
Robbins).
When
he
has
to
go
to
the
office
to
replace
some
papers
the
boys
destroyed
in
their
crossfire,
he
leaves
them
in
the
dubious
care
of
older
sister
Lisa
(Kristen
Stewart),
who
is
sleeping
upstairs.
When
Danny
discovers
an
old
board
game
called
Zathura
stored
in
the
basement,
his
excitement
is
lost
on
Walter,
who
has
no
time
for
such
old,
boring
toys.
Soon,
however,
the
game
becomes
impossible
to
ignore,
as
the
boys
are
transported
into
space,
and
one
of
them
must
win
in
order
to
make
it
home
again.
Each
turn
brings
a
new,
often
dangerous,
surprise,
and
the
boys
are
faced
with
a
murderous
robot,
an
explosive
meteor
shower,
and
lizard-like
aliens,
while
poor
Lisa
is
cryogenically
frozen
early
in
the
game.
The
adventure
yields
some
heartwarming,
family-friendly
life
lessons,
and
Dax
Shepard
(IDIOCRACY)
is
unusually
subdued
in
his
role
as a
stranded
astronaut.
