Zathura: A Space Adventure - 2005
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.

Wow
dont forget to *lick* the video
Ok
I’ll do one of those.
Both good options
I like how people complain that this movie is a ripoff of Jumaji even though both movies are based on books, both of which were written by the same dude he just wrote a book about jungle themed board game and a different one about space themed board game so if anything the author ripped off himself
Remember kids, it's not plagiarism if you copy from yourself!
It's a board game cinematic universe!
I think it's more how what happens in Zathura feels like everything that happened in Jumanji. Person trapped in the game, attacked by a scary thing that gets trapped in the house (Lion in Jumanji, robot in Zathura), being hunted by someone trying to destroy the board game (aliens, big game hunter whatever his name was). The author copying himself isn't an excuse for an adaptation to not do something different.
@@Nekufan1000000 And both have a character much older than the protagonists that played the board game and never escaped, now returning to help our child heroes. Except in Zathura, instead of just being straightforward, they decide to make it a twist that honestly didn't need to be that confusing.
@@kwasibrew8072 i liked the twist, made sense, like what if instead of some random guy it was yourself in an alternate timeline who made the wrong choice.
Can't wait for the sequel to Zathara set 30 years later with like none of the original characters and in a video game to come out
Why wish for none of the original cast? I feel like the (30th Anniversary) sequel would be the perfect place for Kristen Stewart to try and reboot her career.
True, but atleast Dwayne Johnson will be hilarious.
@@jasonkeith2832 I thought she was doing a lot recently
That still would be enjoyable
That will still amazingly be a good movie. And then a sequel to that sequel will also come out and will also shockingly be a good movie
That meteor smashing grandma's urn while the kid just nonchalantly says "grandma, noo" is the most hard-core scene in a kids movie ever.
11:34 No no! Danny didn't cheat! Walter accused him of cheating, and in pure pressure Danny said he might have done it. Walter than moves his piece back which was in fact cheating.
I have sibilings, this is a legit tactic for kids to do. Accuse the other of cheating and then do something to make it more "fair" in doing so you yourself cheat.
Edit: it could also be Walter's memory being wrong and thinking the piece was somewhere else and moved it back. Still cheating though.
Yeah, exactly
Actually Danny apologized to Walter for cheating.
So he basically gaslit him
11:28 the stock break sound!
Movie: Puts children in space and almost kills them multiple times.

"He's been in space for 15 years, he shouldn't look at good as he does"
In space, you age significantly slower. This is an actual fact
No gravity no wrinkles
I thought you aged slower only as long as you travel near the speed of light. Kinda like in Gunbuster.
I like that they implied he looked too young to be 24-25 bc Dax Shepard was actually 30 when this movie came out.
Nope. You misunderstood how relativity works. 😂 It's not about space, it's about speed. It's also not about age, it's about how you experience time.
@@joelandrewgibson4820It’s because wrinkles are produced by gravity, and space has none. I know exactly which concept you’re referring to and it’s the wrong one.
This feels like an accurate representation of me and my younger brother
And that makes the ending kinda cry worthy because they actually got along in the end
Jack Black has actually expressed interest in working on a Zathura sequel.
I look forward to that day.
Zathura: welcome to space, now with the rock!
now with the meteor
Now with Kevin hart!
Now with Karen Gillian
Now with more plot holes!
"Imagine playing a fighting game with a stick"
The majority of human history:

Accurate
Stick very good.
@@saulwright5663 the games have sticks, folks beat them with clubs and staffs
it reminds me of when Mike Teevee was playing an fps with a stick lol
These dudes speaking the TRUTH! Will always love this movie more than Jumanji. Don't get me wrong, Robin Williams is a treasure, but Zathura will be the better movie to me.

I love the small detail starting at 4:45 where they’re all in space to reflect the movie lol
Compared to Jumanji this is honestly the only movie that would actually benefit from a sequel/reboot since there’s so many things they can do with it cause SPACE
Plus the film added world building elements like the aliens. Jumanji didn't really do that...at first

@@spartanking9807 I think we've established that there are stars in space.
This movie was deemed as a knockoff even though it's really not because both Jumanji and Zathura were both based on books by the same author
Ah yes. ☄ Self-plagarism ☄
@@Takejiro24 zathura is the sequel to jumanji (the books)
The thing that sets these movies apart is how in Jumanji, they bring the board game into real life, while in Zathura, they bring the characters into the board game.
15:00 is better without context
Me: *Looks at title*
Also me who has never seen this movie or the original movie, but has heard great things about the first one and has heard absolutely nothing about to second one: Well, that's debatable.
Dude same
The first and second one aren't that good in my opinion
Hiya Steph fancy seeing you here
Wait, Zathura had a sequel?
"Oh no! Grandma!"
IS IT BAD THAT I COUGHED UP A LUNG FROM THIS!?
No man the kid’s reaction is hilarious! 😂🤣
Grandma turned into fire! Again!
I watched this movie over 20 times as a kid and never understood that line. Recently rewatched it though and it made me laugh out loud
*y e s*
It might be all the dust and ashes.
2:30 the interaction here is actually really funny
I remember seeing this once on netflix as a small child, and years later thought it was an obscure movie or something
"Court adjourned, this guy's an idiot" is literary perfection
They actually have a decent cast for this film I don’t know how but they do
The older sister is Kristen Stewart
Zathura was actually written by the same person who wrote Jumanji. Zathura is actually supposed to be Jumanji 2 since the book says the Jumanji game changes with the times to be more appealing with the space theme.
3:27
Me: wait, it was green screen?
Josiah: always has been.
It’s only a green screen in a few scripted vids, in recent videos he’s interacting with the set so it’s not a background
8:04 "3 Billion Dollars For A...McChicken!"
I can't get enough of that!
And the macaroni rocket 🤣 powered by g fuel
I love how hilarious Bren is when he’s angry
My personal theory with Zathura and Jumanji is that if you lose you go back to where you were before you started playing the same as if you won, because you know, it's a game?
Maybe you gotta play till you won, died, or got stuck lol
@@yourneighborhoodxenos Well we see in Jumanji :Welcome to the Jungle that one guy got stuck with one life left and stayed there for something like 30 years
1:32 this is literally the sound of my ac and it scared me lol
i used to be terrified of this movie, i was scared that my house was just gonna float into space
Who else wants to see them do the live action Scooby Doo movies
Yes
When jude did the rant about saying "Take evasive action" in kids movies, I really wanted to just show them saying it in this movie to make him mad.
Also yes phone, I did mean to say "dis" instead of "did". Exactly right.

Dear Microwave Society,
Forsooth, Couldst thou perhaps watch the Horton Hears a Who movie? Your comedy would be the metaphorical icing on the cake to such a chaotic Seussical creation. Only if you desire to, of course

First off, huge fan of the videos, you guys are so funny and you know your stuff on a good movie/bad movie…
I have been listening to youtube as background noise lately while playing games so I have been letting your videos play just over and over, that sound effect near 6:38
It was a nice touch in the video of course lol but it made my night of playing Breath of the Wild all the more funny because that sound played the second Link had finished appearing from a ball of light like “boom” Link’s here
Any way love the movie reviews, can’t wait for more!
As a dad of a 6 and a 9 year old. Their dynamic is so accurate. My 9 year old over a 6 week span became a 28 year old mounted with crippling debt and a jaded world view that finds joy in taking away his little brother's happiness 😂😂😂
It’s kind of surreal seeing very young Kristen Stewart
Catch that Kid, the Disney Channel heist-like movie from 2004. When I realized that was her much much later, I questioned childhood just a bit lmao.
FUN Fact TIMEEEEEEE: the older brother was actually Peta from The hunger games.
Peta is from family guy, dumbass.
He also was the kid who wanted to get with Zooey Deschanel and because of that his friend fell into a ravine and drowned to death.
I knew he looked familiar
He is also from RV
7:41 "Guys, why do you wanna go home? You ARE home! You're just in space!"
Thank god someone recognized this as the superior game board based movie. Quite possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. Also as an older brother I can confirm all the stuff about the siblings fighting over the dumbest stuff is real. Also as a once angsty teen very into rock and metal, yes, I would and still sometimes do sleep to rock/metal.

Me: (skinner voice) Yes
When I first saw Zahtura and Jumanji they scared me so much that I thought they were horror movies
zahtura scared me more as a kid because of the idea of being all alone in space. because if you were stuck in a jungle, you would at least have the basic nescicities to survive.
thank god i wasn't the only one who had an irrational childhood fear of both of these movies
Saw this in theaters. This is basically Jumanji 1.5, and i love it.
12:38 S E V E N T E E N M I LL I O N K E L V E N
I watched the movie once as a kid, and it left such an impression on me I remembered it for years. Except no one believed me this movie existed since I didnt remember the title. Finding it years later left me wish such vindication.
*God, I fucking love this movie. Period. Always.*
@12:06 You have a nice voice! :) And your Oompa Loompa impression is creepy! LOL. Love y'all's videos!
Best comment ever
12:08 lost it
4:55 obviously the game board creates some sort of breathable atmosphere
i had almost schizophrenic episodes of seeing the board game, and then 3 years of this, my friend after talking to him about it says, "you mean Zathura" and i reached the plane of existence that even GODS wish of being at
Y’all should watch the last mimsy, it’s a wild movie with rainn Wilson and it’s a time
It's a pretty good movie. I remember some DVDs came with the doll.
Lot of Rainn Wilson recommendations
Funny I remember not liking it as a kid or maybe I was just too young to understand it
This comment hit me like a brick. Man, I remember loving this film
You guys should watch The Rocker starring Rainn Wilson from The Office.
I was just reminded of that! I feel like I liked it as a kid... But... Who knows now🤣🤣
I forgot that movie existed
I just watched that movie for the first time. I liked it.
2:50 This is when I was realized that I have, in fact, seen this movie. I've just forgotten.
Criminally underrated channel
Forget Dwane Johnson, little kids with a unused sister and one of them not sounding like their from fourth grade is better
The bullshit jumanji sequel had dwane Johnson. You know the first movie didn’t, right?
The fact that Dwayne Johnson was in the reboots with his "comedic" acting ruined the reboots entirely.
The main high point of the original was Robin Williams. And at least the first one was original much like Zathura as they were written by the same guy...
Whereas the Jumanji Reboots was nothing but cash grab for sake of nostalgia.
@@desmondcoppin591 I know but some people liked the sequel and the original
Edit: not to piss anyone off
@@TheHufflepuffSaint honestly I still find the Dwayne Johnson reboot fun, I'm not as die hard about this one 90s kids movie. The fact that Dwayne changed up the type of game Jumanji was rather clever, since not many people nowadays even play board games. And to me, I will always find the reboots better
The only good thing Jumanji had was the fantastic Robin Williams, this is actually a very good movie to me
2:45 powering off
I remember watching this on cartoon network a couple of times as a kid and then thinking this was just Jumanji that I was watching. I never caught the beginning so that's probably why I thought it was a sequel or something. It wasn't until recently that I actually watched Jumanji and was like "wait. This isn't anything like what I remembered" and I could never find it. Thanks for bringing this memory out for me. This also reminds me the time when Disney channel put a movie about alien dogs and labled it as the princess diaries, so I had a difficult time trying to find it. I eventually did but forgot what it was called
4:09 that made me laugh way too hard😂
“Go get me a juice box biatch!”
the sfx for the robot in this are underappreciated tbh imagine if they had just used cgi
This movie is almost all practical effects. The harpoons, the aliens, all real.
Jude is just talking about living in space and bread all of a sudden got mad for no reason whatsoever and I love it. 7:55
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid! Honesty, still not bad.
9:57
THAT WAS A PERFECT TIME TO SAY “HI, WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOU EXTENDED CAR WARRANTY.” LIKE COMON MAN

You know that feeling when it’s late and your watching something and can’t seem to understand anything
That is what this video is doing to me
When I was like 9 I used to play my Zathura DVD every night before bed through my PlayStation 3 and would get half way through the movie and fell asleep.
