Zathura: A Space Adventure
Directed by Jon Favreau
After their father is called into work, two young boys, Walter and Danny, are left in the care of their teenage sister, Lisa, 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, the boys attempt to return home. From TMDB

60 of 120 · most liked firstJust watched Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005), the movie Jon Favreau directed before Iron Man, with my kids. It was fun. Clearly "Jumanji in space" (logical, since the two films are adaptations of novels by Chris Van Allsburg), but the absence of Robin Williams makes the difference.
positive · AI labelView post →Zorgon Invading! :O yep, drew this random after discussion on discord xDD (about Zathura movie) #dragon #zorgon #anthro #2025 #alien #artwork
neutral · AI labelView post →Zathura, a film very obviously riffing on the original Jumanji, is very particular in the way it adapts the core premise because it leans into the idea that this is a kids movie, and therefore its protagonists are fundamentally all there to learn a lesson as taught by Zathura.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kevin Feige had said more than once that Zathura is what convinced him to hire Jon Favreau to direct Iron Man. So glad this movie exists for that alone. Also helps that it's just a fun ass movie. John Debney should score a Star Wars movie fr.
positive · AI labelView post →Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) is the only true sequel. The Dwayne Johnson ones are garbage.
positive · AI labelView post →Zathura is a true-to-life adventure movie, in the way that i would rather die in outer space instead of spend 10 minutes at my dad’s house
positive · AI labelView post →who else remembers the Zathura movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Instead of making all these horrible Jumanji movies with The Rock and Kevin Hart, they should have continued with what Zathura cooked up. Have every movie be a new type of board game that has different disastrous results each time!
positive · AI labelView post →Movie night begins in 1 hour! 🥳 Again, we'll be watching 'Zathura (2005)'! Please gather your snacks and join the discord - we'll see you soon! discord.gg/neko 🛰️
neutral · AI labelView post →Drew that scene in Zathura. Other than this scene...it's mainly a Jumanji movie in Space.
neutral · AI labelView post →Every been posting about this film so figured I'd watch it again. Yep Zathura time lol. Decent cast of actors who became A listers hahaha #filmsky #zathura
positive · AI labelView post →Have to take my car to the shop, and then worked, but first, time for a movie! Today's randomly selected movie is... Nice, never seen this. Heard it was loosely connected to Jumanji. Zathura: A Space Adventure, 2005

neutral · AI labelView post →every time i see a new Jumanji movie with the Rock and Kevin hart i hope and pray to see a Zathura reboot one day ;-;
positive · AI labelView post →Haven't seen this movie in a long time. #NowWatching Zathura: A Space Adventure (Dir. Jon Favreau, 2005)
neutral · AI labelView post →Zathura is still the best Jumanji movie.
positive · AI labelView post →What Film would You Love to see a Sequel to? 🎥 🖤 I mean, seeing how Jumanji got legacy sequels (I think that's the term), I don't see why Zathura can't get a similar treatment.
neutral · AI labelView post →Folks, there are two fan posters I am working on and which I plan to release at Spring: Candyland (as a kind of Jumanji/Zathura style film based on the famous family board game) And a live-action retelling of the Don Bluth film, A troll in Central Park.
neutral · AI labelView post →What are you talking about? It had a sequel called Zathura.
neutral · AI labelView post →Did you know they made a movie about Zathura
neutral · AI labelView post →you may have insulted my mother but i—an intellectual—hold the movie Zathura in my heart, so you can't hurt me
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched both Tower heist and Zathura today. Pretty cool movies. I have a lot to say about Zathura tho. Tower heist is pretty fun and a neat heist movie. Eddie Murphy carries it. Also, a young Michael Peña is cool too. I’ll probably rewatch it in the future.
positive · AI labelView post →What movie did you watch over and over again as a kid? Zathura > Jumanji
positive · AI labelView post →you can watch any movie or just Zathura
neutral · AI labelView post →Two for the price of one: The Rocketeer (1991), $46m box office & Zathura (2005), $58m box office. #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) I think this was BEFORE I actually saw Jumanji, which was it's predecessor both in film and in literature (and oddly enough in-universe in the books).

neutral · AI labelView post →ZATHURA IS AN EXCELLENT ENTRY POINT MOVIE TO GET YOUR KIDS INTO SCI-FI. AND ITS DIRECTED BY JON FAVREAU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
positive · AI labelView post →movie stars only seem to promote their upcoming movies, and that's bad bad not good. this is why I will be going on David letterman to promote Zathura, an underrated gem!
neutral · AI labelView post →The books otherwise aren’t very notable and Zathura is a much worse movie than Jumanji (albeit better than the Rock sequels).
neutral · AI labelView post →Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif If you haven't seen Zathura you're missing out big time
positive · AI labelView post →A childhood favorite movie of mine was Zathura. It was kind of ominous to me too like the scene of the sister being frozen and the danger of the robot. That was a cool robot.
positive · AI labelView post →There is only 1 Jumanji movie. Oh, and there's also Zathura.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'd also love to have the original prop Zathura board game from its movie too (I've got to be one of the dozens of genuine nostalgic fans for that film).
positive · AI labelView post →392. Ghost in the Shell 2017 1h47m PG 52 Metascore 6.3 (238K) Sits between : 391. Zathura: A Space Adventure 2005 and 393. Despicable Me 3 2017 on imdb category: movie/ sci-fi /80k votes or above
neutral · AI labelView post →The 1st Dwayne one was actually fairly decent. But I dont really consider it a sequel so much as a soft reboot, but either way - Zathura rocked and really did feel like a sequel.
positive · AI labelView post →Zathura, the sequel to Jumanji, is an underrated movie. Wish I'd heard of it back in 2005! Iconic cast just before they got big (Kirsten Stewart, Josh Hutchinson, Dax Shepard) and fun practical effects.
positive · AI labelView post →Zathura: This literally happens in the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Drawings I made based on scenes from Zathura, inspired by a Tumblr post. That was when the cast of the first movie was announced. #FNAF #FiveNightsAtFreddys #MichaelAfton
neutral · AI labelView post →Scott Glenn played Alan Shepard in The Right Stuff, and Dax Shepard played “The Astronaut” in the 2005 film Zathura: A Space Adventure. Close enough for Hollywood. ... 7/8
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, never thought I’d see Zathura mentioned on here. Major movie from my childhood.
positive · AI labelView post →Get in line toots, that's my man you're talking about. Did YOU see the first Hunger Games movie 5 times in the first week of it being in theatres? Were Zathura and Bridge to Terabithia on loop in your household growing up?? Josh and I have been destined to be together for ages
neutral · AI labelView post →Zathura has to count. The author of the OG Jumanji book wrote Zathura as a direct sequel to Jumanji. I think that aspect is not present in the film, but Zathura is a Jumanji.
neutral · AI labelView post →It took them 3 movies to do actually Jumanji... Also, of we count Zathura, this is the 5th movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I really loved this movie. A great and deep sci-fi story combined with family. The cast was great in the movie. Last but not least, Jon Farveau directed it wonderfully. I hope Zathura comes back to the screen again and does a crossover with Jumanji.
positive · AI labelView post →Spell your name with movie titles 👀 Zathura Arrival Chicago How Do You Live (aka The Boy and the Heron) Amelie Rashamon Young Frankenstein
neutral · AI labelView post →8. Scooby Doo and The Witches Ghost 9. Scott Pilgrim 10. Super Mario Bros (1993) 11. Tron 12. Tron: Legacy 13. Your Name 14. Yu-Gi-Oh the movie 15. Zathura
neutral · AI labelView post →I think that would be basically the real boardgame they made for Zathura. My kids always wanted to play it because they loved the movie but they would always forget how terrible the actual gameplay was and someone would quit crying. Possibly even me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kinda sounds like that old movie Zathura 🤔
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Zathura for our family movie night. Very fun. The kids loved it. In case you don't know, it's essentially Jumanji in space.
positive · AI labelView post →ZATHURA!!!! I never see anyone talk about that movie, but I loved it so much as a kid!
positive · AI labelView post →i really loved it growing up, but i guess they are very similar 😭 if anything Zathura just felt a little more recent and new while Jumanji was already an “older” movie by the time i watched it
positive · AI labelView post →I remember that too, its a very underrated movie. We used to have both Jumanji and Zathura on DVD, but at some point sold them during the 2010s
positive · AI labelView post →I liked the "second Jumanji movie" the first time, it was called Zathura
positive · AI labelView post →It was many years ago, thankfully... And I don't remember the movie I was talking about... But Zathura does rock
positive · AI labelView post →Idk what The Invisible Boy is but the movie is Zathura. An underrated favorite from my childhood.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Zathura made me remember there was a time before being a child actor required talent. Phenomenal movie and I'd want 0 changes.
