But or Rent - Zathura: A Space Adventure - • Grown Ups (2010)
After their father (Tim Robbins) is called into work, two young boys, Walter (Josh Hutcherson) and Danny (Jonah Bobo), are left in the care of their teenage sister, Lisa (Kristen Stewart), and told they must stay inside. Walter and Danny, who anticipate a boring day, are shocked when they begin playing Zathura, a space-themed board game, which they realize has mystical powers when their house is shot into space. With the help of an astronaut (Dax Shepard), the boys attempt to return home.

Zathura is by the same author of Jumanji. They were originally children’s picture books. When the brothers found Jumanji, they were uninterested in it. The board game then transformed into Zathura so they would pick it up and play it. The films don’t really have this connection, though the Jumanji sequel picked up on the game’s transformation ability and became a video game.

[@ambersteward2373]

Pretty much your alternate self is "frozen in time" meanwhile remember that he wished his brother wasnt born when they first played the game. So once that shooting star happened it remembered who played on which rocket just like in Jumanji. The whole cheating thing is a serious offense because the game wanted to give the older brother another chance to make things right with the shooting star. It wouldn't have worked for the younger brother because again it wasn't his turn. So while the game gave him 3 wishes like a genie it was all up to Josh's character to make the right decision to let go of his own issues and actually be a brother for once. The robot "reprogramming" was the same metaphor for Josh's character to reprogram how he saw his relationship with his brother. It was supposed to be a wholesome movie but because they needed to add in the sci-fi effect they thought it best to let the audience come to that conclusion. (Family is the most important part in your life. Dont take it for granted. Youll never know how short life can be)

[@superdre4892]

That's a good summurization of the symbolism shown throughout the film!

[@marieko.]

jumanji and this are part of the same universe! neither ripped off the other :)

[@kagemushashien8394]

What other board game out there has a mind of its own?

[@SmurfySmurf12345]

Plus, they're created by the same person (Chris Van Allsburg).

[@elizabethbertucci9313]

“It’s meteors! Take erasive action!” 😂 Love this movie. We used to watch it with the kids all the time.

[@quinnmackay-smith9352]

This movie needs to become like Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle and The Next Level as a video game movie sequel.

[@timetravellerearthx8527]

The OG movies ..when we were kid...... awesome time travel concept

[@gamebeast4191]

the explosion made a lot of heat, and the reason why the kids met the astronaut was cause since there was only one player left 15 yrs ago in the story, so the game created a paradox, and when the danny that was brought back arrived, the game could finally be finished

[@user-vu4xj5rx4w]

I remember this movie back in a library years ago

[@jafeir]

Yeah, the Astronaut was an alternate version of Walter, from a timeline in which he used the Star Space with wish his brother away. And Danny summoned him with his turn in THAT timeline

[@gabbytorres6885]

You always watch my childhood movies I love it thank you !:)

[@horlickfamily7504]

Basically the sequel to Jumanji but since it lacked some of the star power of the original, and didn't directly reference the first movie, it was largely ignored. It didn't do very well at the box office. It's actually a pitty that the new movies made no reference to Zathura. Theoretically, the game could take any form and subject.

[@MsWillowbayOrelse]

So the older brother is Peeta from Hunger Games and the sister is Bella from Twilight.

[@debbyemerson3877]

SPACE JUMANJI!!! Just a fun movie, enjoyed your reaction.

[@lainightwalker5495]

timey whimey stuff. i love this movie.

[@monsterhighandbarbiefan]

interesting i remember watching this movie when i was younger it got me into space adventure movies and video games about space

[@RatedR4Ruby]

Zathura is in the same boat as fma brotherhood,i watched it loved it,and only later learned about the og that was apparently so much better

[@sadhumansclub]

This was one of my fav movies as a child

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@KERRYPIKE]

Zathura is very similar to Jumanji but different.

[@shibainu2528]

15:30 - To be honest, I don't know either. But, because there is barely an atmosphere in space, there is nothing for heat energy to transfer away from an object *in* space. So, it's a weird limbo between hot and cold since we made those terms *with* an atmosphere in mind. (In Kerbal Space Program for example. In space, the thermometer has nothing to measure aside from the shuttle or the thermometer itself which is a bit of an issue if you want to measure space's temperature) But if I recall correctly, you are probably going to be cooked in outer space due to the sun's rays directly hitting you, the Earth's atmosphere won't protect you this time around. You may also freeze instead if you were in a blindspot for the sun, such as the dark side of the moon. My best guess about fire in space? There is no atmosphere, therefore, no oxygen. It's like putting the lid onto one of those scented candles. *Maybe* some oxygen can linger on the couch due to the sponginess, but it won't keep burning for too long.

[@kevinkunkel9444]

I gave up trying to understand Zathura a long time ago. I just accept it.

[@JVsGalacticAdventures]

Hahaha good idea

[@SmurfySmurf12345]

Both Jumanji and Zathura are based on books written by the same person (Chris Van Allsburg). So technically, it's more like a spinoff rather than a ripoff.

[@TristanRouxMarais]

I agree, I don’t understand how the twist makes sense, but still a fun movie!😂

[@adideles7977]

One of my favorites! It was fun seeing your reaction! 💝💞

[@agent6bell]

I watched Zathura first before Jumanji. So I didn't really know the concept of board game become reality. But i like this one a bit more cause..space is cool😂

[@BryanMcdonough-gl9hm]

The robot is voice by Frank Oz who plays Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Sam Eagle, Animal, Grover, Bert and Cookie Monster in the muppets movie and Sesame Street, Frank Oz also voices Yoda, he plays Cops in trading places and blue brothers 2000

[@kyleterrell6842]

My brother and I were like this. We hated each other so much. I was always the mellow nice kid. And he was the hell raiser that literally everyone in my extended family didn't like. So he always pushed my buttons, and I always reacted. He's tolerable now as an adult. But I still kinda hate him for all the shit he did to me the first 12 years of my life. I'm 2 years older too. I just didn't like fighting. So I never kicked his ass

[@TokuRewinds]

Clearly JV never read my comments on their Jumanji videos about watching Zathura being a spiritual sequel since in the books it's a direct sequel. And one ofnthe BTS of filming the recent films he basically counts as Zathura being jumanji 2 lol

[@brighamcathey4669]

I love the robots design its looks so retro but scary and intimidating at the same time

[@ambersteward2373]

I believe i was 6-7 when this came out

[@ambersteward2373]

Zuh-thur-ah(proper announciation)

[@whereyoubeen]

Loved this movie growing up

[@TheLarayf]

The black hole explains everything with the astronaut and his other self. Think the new Star Trek and Spock, older and younger. When the Astronaut is eating a bunch of food he says he got sucked into a black hole about ye big, that's what happened.

[@PhillpBrown-zz1uq]

This movie and book are the direct sequel to Jumanji

[@jamesa.romano8500]

I remember this got promoted on an episode of The Apprentice back in the day. And they kept mispronouncing it as Zenthrua LOL

[@makenziemay5449]

Ive watched this its a pretty good movie

[@ThemeOfSecrets]

One of my favorite movie robots of all time.

[@nataliecartwright1324]

If you love disney movies, you need to watch Valiant, it's a old disney movie but very funny

[@LilacLycanvic]

Man I loved this movie so much when I was a kid. It's a nostalgic movie UwU

[@234cartmanrules]

Jumanjiiiiiiii iiiiiiiinnnnn spaaaaaaaccccceeeeeee

[@don-davi536]

Amazing reaction really loving the content, plz watch (Next gen) when you get a chance its such a phenomenal animated film you'll enjoy its definitely up your ally💯👌🏾

[@michaellozano7993]

Love

[@10thdoctor15]

Space isn't freezing, as there's direct sunlight. There's no oxygen though, so the couch couldn't burn.

[@JVsGalacticAdventures]

The template in outer space is minus 453.8 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 270.45 degrees Celsius,

[@cjjackson2423]

My movie😂

[@10thdoctor15]

Danny didn't cheat, otherwise he would have been ejected.

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

Be it Jumanji or Zathura, these games bend time, space and reality. If you ever where that kind of kid, remember the time when everything was possible? When there was no limit to your imagination? When you believed in fairy tales? No logic bogging you down? Try to be that kid again and go with the flow. You've seen Hook, it shouldn't be that hard 🙂

[@BodyASK]

Jumanji 1995 Zathura 2005

[@gailseatonhumbert]

In answer to your question of is this a "ripoff" of Jumanji and you've seen the older brother as Peeta in The Hunger Games movies. Zathura is an adaptation of the 2002 children's book Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg, author of the 1981 children's book Jumanji. It is a standalone spin-off of the 1995 film Jumanji and the second installment of the Jumanji franchise. The film stars Josh Hutcherson, Jonah Bobo, Dax Shepard, Kristen Stewart, and Tim Robbins.

[@XC11301991]

Flawed movie but still quite fun as a Jumanji followup.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

Many people hate this movie because its not as good as Jumanji. I love it though, sure its not as good. But its fun seeing another board game in the Jumanji universe that comes to life. Also some didn't like the acting of anyone in it.
