Worst Games Ever - Zathura: A Space Adventure

I remember my Dad rented this for me from blockbuster when I asked him to just rent me any game, he knew watched the movie a couple of times on DVD so he got me this and I didn't even play through the first section it was crap lmfao.

That is awesome that your dad paid attention and really thought about it. Regardless of the outcome, that is wholesome af.

It's a helluvan idea: Jumanji in Space.

[@isabellamorris7902]

I was terrified of this film as a kid when it first came to cinemas - I think it was because my idea of space was "horrifying huge expanse in which you can't breathe and will explode". Also space helmets are creepy

[@AusSP]

Well, that's not *wrong*, per se.

[@LookIDrum]

[@stephspoilsstuff]

That is still my impression of space, honestly 😝

[@isabellamorris7902]

@@LookIDrum Explosive decompression is a thing, right? Also I'm glad I'm apparently not the only one who had this experience as a little kid, haha.

Zathura budget: 90% for Drew Struzan's non-union Mexican equivalent for the cover art 9% for pizza and carcinogenic libations 1.7% for coding

[@5Andysalive]

The stars parralax is perfectly reasonable! They just did that with New Horizons and it had to travel only a few bn kilometers for it. And it was only one star.Still.

[@BrendenPragasam]

Dax Shepard, known for zathura and American top gear.

[@shawnfields2369]

And; don't forget, he's also responsible for that awful CHIPS movie with Michael Pena from a few years ago, which tried to be like the 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street movies, and like Hot Fuzz, instead of trying to develop it's own identity, and just had people wondering, "why remake CHIP's?", and the answer was: "because 21 Jump Street was a great movie, so let's rip that off for some reason", and apparently, Dax Shepard had a "good idea", for remaking CHIPS, with Michael Pena, when they didn't. It was just an r-rated version of an old 80s TV show, that either you, your parents, grandparents, or maybe even, your aunt and uncle watched when they were kids, or something like that. I definitely don't like Dax Shepard; he just sucks as an actor. Does anyone legitimately like him in anything? Like, for real?

[@ZetaEntity101]

This was one ugly game to play

[@gracekim1998]

Is this connected to Jumanji? 21.3.22

[@shawnfields2369]

Yes, but not really. Both the book Jumanji and the book Zathura, were both written by the same author, Chris Van Allsburg(probably misspelled that, sorry). This book/movie comes after Jumanji, but I prefer Jumanji, because it had Robin Williams in it. Much better. But I've seen Zathura, and both Jumanji movies. They're all pretty good. But other than having the same author, neither Jumanji nor Zathura are connected to each other, story wise. One takes place in space, the other doesn't. But the Jumanji sequel had Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and even Dwanye "The John" Rockson, and it was alright. But one of the reasons that Zathura, while it's not as good as Jumanji(in my opinion), is underrated, and probably the best thing Dax Shepard has ever been in, (other than Idiocracy), and this would also be the least annoying thing Kristen Stewart's ever been in(but again, those are just my opinions). But I highly recommend the original Jumanji movie, even though it takes several liberties from the book, but its still one of the best things the late, great Robin Williams starred in; and no matter how much time passes, we'll still miss him. Because of how many amazing performances he gave us, and the world.

[@williamfrancecamera]

I liked the film a lot, but it always felt really long.

[@williamfrancecamera]

Never considered this film could link to Jumanji, but noŵ I know I can’t not think about it

[@MrBeardsley]

Both books were written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg, Danny and Walter actually appeared at the very end of Jumanji. Van Allsburg also did The Polar Express, the tie-in game for the movie version of that is even worse than Zathura.

[@williamfrancecamera]

So the book links were clear but they decided to not do that for the films I guess

[@retrovideogamejunkie]

How much in the game appears those rays?

[@16shogunelitegreen]

Some of the games you reviewed, Zathura included, I also own. And they haven't been completed yet after all these years. Well after listening to your thoughts, I'm going to go back to them. Cause I at least enjoy the games. Right now I'm playing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

[@gabrielcarter4822]

Isn't the Dolby you see everywhere Thomas who after She Blinded Me with Science created a lot of audio recording technology that is used in film and video games?

[@nameless5413]

But what if i don't want access to worst episodes of worst games ever early? I do not see the connection to the jumanji (one with Robin Williams), sure its another game, but by that logic you could claim that Gat out of Hell is in same universe.

[@endymallorn]

When I first saw the movie, I didn't know it was actually part of the Jumanji franchise, I just thought it was a weird ripoff, and started me on a path of thinking that Favreau was the worst director I'd ever seen. Having seen any of his other works, I still feel that Favreau is the worst director/producer/etc, and knowing what the book/film is, Zathura is a mindless, formulaic cash-in.

[@caacrinolass3501]

Thus spoke Zathura.
