Yeah, I know - it's just "Jumanji" (1985)

Yeah, I know - it's just "Jumanji" (1985) set in space, but it's still quite an enjoyable outing for Josh Hutcherson and Jonah Bobo. "Danny", the latter who definitely won out on the name stakes, is the younger brother who just wants to hang out with his cooler older sibling "Walter" when their dad (Tim Robbins) is called to work - but he isn't interested. After an altercation with a baseball, "Danny" goes exploring their rickety old house and discovers a game called "Zathura" which he starts playing by himself! That's mistake number one - but at least it gets "Walter" to pay attention as their house detaches itself from suburbia and heads into outer space - and a perilous one at that. There are robots, "Zorgons", an helpful astronaut (Dax Shepard) oh, and yes - there's a sister too - "Lisa" (Kristen Stewart) who is much older than her brothers and who has even less interest in their games. Each turn of the key delivers a card and each card could potentially spell life and death. Will they make it all the way round? No, jeopardy isn't any higher on Jon Favreau's list than it was in the original Van Allsburg book, but along the way we have some fun trashing their house, fighting off monstrous aliens and someone realised early on that Stewart does some of her best acting when cryogenically frozen to her toothbrush. The visual effects work well and of course the messages of familial loyalty, inter-dependence and resilience are writ large as just about everyone realises they can only win if they work together. I enjoyed this.

A Good Kid's Movie

Two brothers, one ten, one six, fight all the time because that's what brothers do. One of them finds a game in the basement, a science-fiction version of Candyland with event cards, and soon they find themselves and their house in deepest space.After the success of 1995's JUMANJI, author/artist Chris van Allsburg's follow-up book was turned into a follow-up movie. While it lacked the wild comedy that Robin Williams brought to the earlier movie, it's visually a much better movie; director Jon Favreau avoided CGI when practical effects could be made to work, and Stan Winston supervised the props and monsters. I think the script is much better put together, and the supporting characters include Tim Robbins as their father, Kristen Stewart as their sister, and Dax Roberts as the Astronaut. It's a very watchable science-fantasy movie.
