IF you remember and enjoyed Jumanji, then you are going to love this.

The story revolves around two young brothers left on their own in their dad's (played by Tim Robbins) creepy old house.

Walter, the eldest, wants to watch sports on TV whereas young Danny is bored and wants to play catch.

After hitting his brother in the face with the ball, he flees and takes refuge in the house's dumb waiter. When Walter discovers him, he punishes him by releasing the cables and dropping the miniature lift into the basement.

To Danny's delight, he stumbles upon a mysterious old board game titled Zathura A Space Adventure.

As soon as the boys start to play the game, strange things start to happen.

Beginning with an indoor meteor shower, followed by the realisation that the entire house has been uprooted and is now floating in outer space.

The only way to get back home is to finish the game.

The adventure unfolds with attacks by slimy lizard creatures called Zorgons and an encounter with a crazy killer robot.

A friendly astronaut stops by to help them with their alien infestation and suprises everyone with his bizarre origin.

This is an entertaining film from start to finish with lots of retro space ships and villians straight out of an old Flash Gordon flick.

So jet off and see it soon.
