Zathura
Zathura is a 2005 science fiction adventure film about two brothers who discover a mysterious board game that pulls them into outer space.
Based on a picture book by Chris Van Allsburg, it functions as a spiritual sequel to *Jumanji*, with a similar premise of a game that makes its dangers real.
We watched Zathura last night.
