Just like Jumanji
The kids loved it and for a 10 year old and an 8 year old there were a couple of moments when they hid behind a cushion. I'm not saying the film is scary, it isn't, but the film does build a couple of tense moments and it can be hard for a youngster to take!!
The film on a whole was generally poor, the plot line was taken straight from Jumanji but it did have its own little twist toward the end.
The only thing that saved the film for me was the FX for when they were in space, the Zorgons looked like they were straight from a Tom Baker version of Dr Who which kind of dulled the visual side of things.
This one is definitely for the kids and its best to let them watch it on their own, in their bedrooms and out of the way :)
Excellent
Brilliant film. Very much on the lines of Jumanji but with a space setting. Kept the audience captivates - young & old! Excellent twist at the end. Highly recommended.
