Dax Sheppard is pretty funny but nicely restrained as the hero astronaut. (Yes, they look just like REAL Zorgons, not CGI'd Zorgons.) Casting is good and the boys are fun and have a genuine brotherly relationship. ![]() The space backdrop is flawless, and the scenes with the defective robot and Zorgons are terrific and very realistic. Although Jumanji is fun, it's too obvious that we are watching early CGI, especially the monkeys and the lion and, well, the animals. The special effects are fantastic, especially for 2005, and a huge improvement over 1995's Jumanji. ![]() ![]() A great deal of care and affection went into the making of this movie, and the attention to detail paid off. The story is good, two young brothers, bored and frustrated with a time-share situation between divorced parents, find an old board game with characteristics of 1940s-50's pressed tin toys and games. Did you enjoy Jumanji? Well, this story is a bit simpler, and doesn't feature Robin Williams, but in many ways is the better movie. ![]()
