XLRBR Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I just saw this movie and OMG. It was, well not amazing, but pretty good to say the least. It was soo cool and had a lot of turning points. It was a really good, edge-of-your-seat movie, and...stuf...like...that. Anyway, post your comments and stuff. Signing off! (not literally) --Davon "yea" Dorsey
Nrthwnd Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Um, shouldn't this be part of the Movies Section up above there? The "Sticky...Movies,Movies"? Just letting you know.
BelizeIt Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Well with 269 posts XLRBR should have known better, but we will Let it Side! I'm sure we are all looking foward to Next Weekends Release of the Latest Harry Potter Adventure! It will be the Best Adventure by Far!!! It's rated PG-13, Thank God For That!
Scaparri Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Well, it's nice to hear that it's a good movie. As for the concept itself, its funny, I remember there being a movie A LOT like it in the mid 90's. At least they had the decency to mention in the trailors that it's from the same person who wrote Jumanji.
Gregory DG Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 In one review I read, it said Zathura was supposed to be a "prequel" to Jumanji. I think a different review said that the kids pushed aside some jungle game in favor of the outer space one. So, to those who have seen Zathura, did the Jumanji game make a cameo appearance?
ChrisZer0 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Yes, yes it does. I like the film for the fact it had such a classic 50's tin toy, sci-fi feel to it. Not alot of CG like jumanji, more real special FX so it feels alot more believable and real.
Kenny Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I wonder if the girl in this movie will grow up and be all hot like Kirsten Dunst.
pagemaster_b Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I saw no actual reference to "Jumanji", but it's possible I missed it. It's a good movie, though I thought the script need some more work. Some of the side stories/plots were dangling open and often held little meaning for the rest the movie. The beginning with Tim Robins is the most notible. A lot of emotion and care with into that section, only to have it cast as side once the boys start playing the game, and it never comes back to it. And what happened to the game once they finished playing? That question never got answered. Scriptwise, "Jumanji" is better. Special effects-wise, "Zathura" is better. I loved how that house gets demolished throughout the movie. And I liked how little of the Zorgons you see--that made them a lot more creepy.
