I rented this for my 5 year old son because he loved the book so much. He was really into the movie up until the part with the lizard aliens. The scared the holy heck out of him. Up until this point there were some tense moments to be sure, but this put him over the top.
The language used by the kids wasn't too great either. Definitely should lean towards the older kids for this one.

I loved Jumanji and when I heard that this movie was made by the writer of Jumanji (and alot like it), I was really excited. In it's own right, this is a great movie with great values that are taught to kids. It's made obvious in this movie that bickering with your brother or sister can only turn out bad and that you and your siblings are on the same side. A big nod to Dax Shepard, while he is obviously not to the level of Robin Williams or Kirsten Dunst in the original Jumanji, adds alot to Zathura.
There is a bit of language and some scary scenes with alien lizards. Otherwise a clean movie.
It's almost unfair to compare this movie to Jumanji until you realize that you can't help it. It's a board game, that makes things happen, that reverses everything to normal at the end. It just isn't quite as good as Jumanji. However, it is a great movie with great values for kids.

Basically, Zathura is Jumanji but with outer space stuff instead of animals. I liked the animals. Give Zathura a miss and watch Jumanji instead.

A home-run of children's and family entertainment. Plays perfectly on a mid-level; by that I mean, there is not one level of himor for the kiddies, and another one for the adults, a la 'Shrek'. This movie talks to all age ranges at the same time in the language of adventure! The special effects are almost all practical, so there are no pesky computer graphics that take you out of the moment and force you to marvel at the scientific advancement of the film. Instead, you are allowed to just live in this world and get lost in the swashbuckling. Watch this now!

Zathura
Zathura succeeds at being a visual enjoyable film, however I found it hard to care about any of the characters in the movie. I wanted all of them to be blasted by the Zorgans just to have them stop whining. Maybe this movie works better if you are 8, but for me the characters ruin the film.
