The entire point was the dad WASN'T a workaholic, he just had a standard 9-5 and sometimes worked saturdays. But his children saw that as ZERO time for them. He even split the time among them, playing catch with one then the other. The boys just didn't SEE it that way, one wanted the attention that used to be his, the other acting out because he didn't understand why his big bro was being mean to him. At the end of the day, the parents were good parents, and both kids were good kids, it just took SENDING THEM TO SPACE to teach them to not kill eachother

[@mynameisreallycool1]

People calling this dad was a "workaholic" and saying he's "abandoning his kids" because he's working at home on a Saturday has the same energy as those middle aged people who insist they were "neglected" because they stayed after school alone for just an hour or two before their parents got home from their 9-5 job. 😭 Compared to most parents in the 2000s (and probably now too), he was doing an incredible job at bonding and spending time with his kids.

[@lilstich8402]

As a child with 2 working parents, I can testify to this. I spent most of my time at my grandma’s house rather than my house. When they work on weekends, you just have to entertain yourself (I have no siblings so I find it harder.)

[@bryciebee9651]

On top of that, the dad literally kept making a point of saying he had to, “work for one hour.” It wasn’t even a generic “have to work,” with no indication that it would be over anytime soon. He specifically gave a timeframe, and a short and reasonable one. He isn’t a workaholic, just had to get some work done, and the kids are just kids who see things from very limited perspectives and have kid feelings.

I was the opposite. Understood Jumanji but had trouble following this one despite being in middle school at this point about to go to high school and found Zathura boring and long and hated it. Jumanji OG is still my favorite.

I can actually answer the Narnia one. Basically the longer you spend away from Narnia the more you forget it. In the books it talks about how after a couple weeks the kids had almost forgotten everything about Narnia.

[@justinbuergi9867]

One sibling even fully stopped believing in it when she grew up Pretty sure she went to hell as a result.

[@GreenDude_Gaming]

@justinbuergi9867 no in the books it specifically says that as you grow older you stop believing in Narnia and become unable to ever go back to Narnia pass a certain age. I don't remember it saying anything about going to hell. I have read all of the books and the kids we see in the Narnia movie go back one more time and then the girl goes back another time and then after that they're too old to ever go back again.

[@justinbuergi9867]

@ in the final book after the apocalypse gets triggered by a donkey dressed as a lion, the original 4 end up in heaven. Except for one sibling who stopped believing

[@ChampagneKanyon]

Idk if the old man from the first film is in the books I haven’t read the first book in a long time but then that makes me wonder about him. At the end of the movie at least it seemed like he knew about Narnia so I wonder if he was also going into the wardrobe? Idk I’d love your professional opinion on that tho.

Fun fact for anyone who didn't read the books. Zathura (the game) was literally in the same box as Jumanji as a kind of less childishly colorful update (give or take questions about the game's sentience). So no, the Rock reboot didn't come up with that.

[@AzraelThanatos]

Zathura was on the back of the game board for Jumanji. I've got a few board games that I inherited that were similarly done with the intention of having, normally, two playable but not that memorable games as some kind of bargain when sold.

Zathura always confused me, because i'd describe to my friends a movie about a board game that came to life that wasnt Jumanji, and they'd just be like "Nuh-uh, thats jumanji". And I couldnt remember enough to prove them wrong because I forgot so much plot, but then I'd watch Jumanji and all these snippets were missing like a space man and giant robots

Yeah I point to this movie & Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire for pointing out the two leads in Twilight got their roles down perfectly, theyre just really badly written roles. I can definitely say Robert Pattinson played Cedric a lot differently than he played Edward, and that's not exactly something you can say for the more likable actors of Hollywood like Jack Black or Ryan Reynolds, who seem to be always playing a more & more exaggerated version of themselves currently. Also, Lisa has an Interpol poster in her bedroom, so she already has a point over Bella for having based music taste.

It's an hour. Go into the office earlier on Monday or stay a bit later on Friday or do it when the kids are in bed later that Saturday. But no, he chooses to do it smackdab in the middle of the day. What is he going to do? Call up other people on their day off? They'll be happy about being disturbed. It's probably spreadsheets or something else that could totally wait but no, he wanted to do it in the middle of a Saturday. He wanted to work.

From the man who brought the classic film, Cowboys vs Aliens.

Honestly, the whole plot-twist of the astronaut being older Walter who wished his brother away, and young Walter wishing his brother back gets me in the feels every time. 😢

I remember, I watched this movie in a hotel room and it basically just felt like a fever dream
