Zathura: A Space Adventure (PG)

Jun 27 2006 By Graham Young, Birmingham Mail

ZATHURA: A Space Adventure is a noisy but enjoyable follow-up to Jumanji.

Aimed primarily at eight to 14-year-old boys and based on another book by Polar Express creator Chris

Van Allsburg, the plot again revolves around a board game which now sees two brothers blasted into space.

Elf director Jon Favreau delivers some fabulous effects and the boys have to think on their feet, too.

The DVD extras include a 'making of' featurette.
