In 'Zathura' Jonah Bobo plays Danny, a kid who is being ignored. He just wants some attention but his older brother (Josh Hutcherson) does not want to play with him, his dad (Tim Robbins) is too busy, and his sister (Kristen Stewart) has other things to do. But once he finds a board game called 'Zathura' down in the basement, his family starts to take notice.
In this movie, Danny and his brother and sister (and the house) get drawn into a sci-fi adventure that takes them across the galaxy. With the help of a stranded astronaut (Dax Shepard) the family are able to make it to Zathura before dad gets home.
I was not a big fan of 'Jumanji' (another book by Chris Van Allsburg) and 'Zathura' did not impress me much either. I though the visuals in this movie were first rate and there was a good moral to the story. However, it really dragged on in parts and took to long to get its point across. Plus, I did not think the aliens were very believable.
