Fresh: Zathura is a space circus of the surreal that recalls a time when the likes of Joe Dante ruled the pre-adolescent pop sphere.
-Luke Goodsell, Empire Magazine Australasia, November 07, 2012Fresh: Charming children's adventure with some superb performances from the young cast.
-James Dyer, Empire Magazine, December 30, 2006Fresh: Favreau gratifyingly prevents the film from becoming a mere maelstrom of CG effects by pushing the brothers' amusing bickering to the fore...
-David Jenkins, Time Out, June 24, 2006Fresh: Despite its peculiar name and the fact it bears a strong resemblance to Jumanji -- another film inspired by a book by children's author Van Allsburg -- it's hard not to like Zathura.
-Richard Jinman, Sydney Morning Herald, March 31, 2006
this is a great sci-fi movie that we enjoy as a family. No foul language or violence. Truly enjoyable.
