Looking like an unoriginal spinoff from JumanJi, Zathura is about looks at two squabbling brothers propelled into darkest space while playing a mysterious game they discovered in the basement of their old house. They are joined by a stranded astronaut and must survive meteor showers, hostile lizard-like aliens, a rocket-propelled robot run amok and an intergalactic spaceship battle.

All right. I didn't watch this movie.

But my colleague Huang Qian did, because I passed her the tickets. She told me it was very, very good – something both children and adults would enjoy. The CG images reminded her of Star Wars. And it also talks about sibling bonding. Aww...

"How many stars, Huang Qian?"
"Si Ge!"
"Did I hear wrongly? 4? 4 for a kids' movie? I didn't even give Harry Potter 4!"
"That's because you are stingy."
"..."

2nd on US Box office (behind Chicken Little) and enjoying rave reviews everywhere. Time I go watch this "kids' movie".

Zathura – Never underestimate "kids' movie"
