  • 4 stars out of 5

    It was dismissed by many critics as a noisy, scary and utterly worthless excuse for some ingenious computer effects, but as empty experiences go this fantasy adventure is absolutely exhilarating. Toddlers, as well as pre-teens, will be been held spellbound by the marauding wildlife that is unleashed when Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce rescue Robin Williams from the sinister board game in which he's been trapped for 26 years. Any film where the action is determined by a roll of the dice is bound to be episodic, but this hardly detracts from the enjoyment as one spectacular set piece follows another. The result is wonderful, escapist family entertainment.

  • "...The film unleashes an arsenal of special effects that are dazzling to the eye....In addition to Williams' heartfelt, vulnerable performance, Hunt elicits humor and pathos..."

    • 25 Jun 2004

    Tim Robbins looks to have joined the cast of the second film in the "Jumanji" series. "Zathura" is based on Chris van Allsburg sequel to "Jumanji" -written 20 years after the original. "Jumanji" was turned into a film in 1995 and despite staring Robin Williams underperformed at the box office. The producers of "Zathura" have made it clear that there is no formal link to "Jumanji" and that it stands on its own as a film Film magazine... Read more
