Zathura	comment	Zathura is a 2005 fantasy film directed by Jon Favreau. The plot is adapted from the book Zathura written by Chris Van Allsburg, who also wrote Jumanji. However, unlike the book, the film serves as a Spiritual Successor rather than a direct sequel, only sharing the basic "board game comes to life" premise.Two brothers, Walter (Josh Hutcherson) and Danny (Jonah Bobo) discover an old board game in the basement of their father's house: the sci-fi-based Zathura. When they start playing, the entire house, including them and their sister, is transported into the world of the game. Despite their ongoing rivalry, Walter and Danny find they must work together if they're ever going to beat the game and get back home.Much like its predecessor, the film heaped on plenty of details that weren't in the original 32-pager, such as adding Lisa, Walter and Danny's older sister, and a mysterious astronaut who becomes a gruff mentor to the boys. Excluding voice actors or people wearing alien costumes which cover their whole bodies, the film has a cast of exactly five, one of whom's total time makes up about ten minutes at the most, and another who is in cryogenic stasis for about half of the film. There are no extras, crowd shots, or other group scenes, and the movie takes place almost entirely in a single house.

Because Walter only asked for a football this time, though, he's also from an alternate reality and wanted to ensure his kid self didn't make the same mistake twice.

The "second" time, which was actually the same time, they did roll up an astronaut for some reason, and things turned out differently. Or else they already met the astronaut the first time, when Walter wished his brother away, and no-one knows where he went, leaving Walter alone in space till he was rolled up himself. (Also note: the astronaut quoted the card that rolled him up, so he seems to have seen it before.) Another example: If the game granted the wish that the brother had never been born, he wouldn't have been the second player, so the game shouldn't have become unplayable. Furthermore, since the brother wouldn't have been there to start the game, the whole game should have been undone.

At first it seems because this is simply due to Danny "rolling" him out of the game, but it's actually because the astronaut is a time-looped older version of Walter, who in his timeline wished his brother out of existence in anger after an argument and regretted it ever since. After years of reflection — and the fact that he can't continue the game since it was Danny's turn after he made the wish — he's more than a little resentful towards his past self's brotherly callousness, but ends up being very proud that the current Walter learned his lesson where he did not.

Zathura / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Several regarding The Astronaut and his role: The Astronaut, like Walter, has a Fleet Admiral card, indicating that he's played the game before. It's not just the same type of card, it's the very same card, because the Astronaut is Walter. When helping them get rid of the Zorgons for the first time, he tells Walter to go into the basement and turn off the furnace, despite having no possible way of knowing that the house even has a basement. Except he does because he's Walter, and he lived in the very same house a long time ago. When the Astronaut asks whose turn wished him, The Astronaut has this to say to Walter: The Astronaut is quick to chastise Walter for his bratty attitude and help Danny around the house even though he only just met them them minutes earlier. The Astronaut tries to calm Danny and Walter's fighting during the game despite having just met them. When after insisting on allowing the astronaut to stay against his wishes, Walter asks Danny, "Whose brother are you, his or mine?" The correct answer is both. The astronaut's story about how he played the game with his brother, and accidentally erased his brother from existence by wishing on a shooting star; the way the astronaut is certain that Walter has wished for the same thing foreshadows them being the same person. The astronaut mentions that he passed through time to get here. It's treated as a joke, until you realize that the astronaut is Walter. The first time we see the astronaut, Walter's face is reflected in his helmet. Lisa comments that her crush The Astronaut is very protective of her and her brothers and that she feels really safe around him. She should. He's her brother. "Someday you're gonna be really happy I got you that piano." Quite true, but that's because the piano is shoved down the stairs and crushes a Zorgon. The game's ultimate goal is to get to Zathura, represented on the board as a black ball with the letter Z on it. In space a "black ball" generally means only one thing: a black hole. Even when they reach it on the board, said black ball spins and "floats" for a little while, with spark effects that make it heavily resemble the real thing they're about to encounter, also making it Five-Second Foreshadowing.

Zathura / int_a1b141f4	comment	My God, What Have I Done?: Living with feelings of guilt, remorse and regret over the one mistake he made years ago, and still horrified at himself over his immature decision to wish his little brother out of existence because he was so angry at him (without thinking about the consequences), The Astronaut makes various attempts to keep Danny and Walter from making the exact same mistake he did with the wish when he was their age. A brief second but the non-audible guilty look on Walter's face upon learning how The Astronaut lost his brother by wishing him out of existence shows that he had almost made the exact same wish and he's feeling regret about it. Or what she had almost done. Lisa has been crushing on The Astronaut throughout the journey of the game and when she learns the truth that her crush The Astronaut is actually her brother Walter from an alternate timeline in the game, she is appropriately shocked, disgusted, guilty and horrified. Implying in her reaction that she was contemplating kissing him at one point.

The Astronaut/Walter shot himself in the foot with this one in an alternate past, as he wished his version of Danny out of existence but became trapped in the game forever as a result, because it was his brother's turn. The game knows when someone is cheating (deliberately or inadvertently so) and takes steps to punish those who do... by throwing them out into space to die.

The Zorgons panic and flee the house but the robot manages to make it onto one of the Zorgons spaceships and blows it up with the Zorgons inside of it, saving Walter and Danny from enemy fire in the process. Just as it seems like a distracted Walter and Danny are about to be eaten by a hungry Zorgon, the creature gets crushed by a piano courtesy of their protective older sister Lisa who used quick thinking and saved her brothers from the Zorgon. The Astronaut arrives just in the nick of time as Walter and Danny were being attacked by the Zorgons for the first time and had no knowledge of what to do in such a hostile situation or how to complete the game. The Astronaut wastes no time walking Danny and Walter through the steps of how to stay safe and keep their dangers away. And later, when Walter is ejected from the house (due to cheating), The Astronaut uses his space flight equipment to fly after Walter into outer space to rescue him and bring him back to the house safely. And he didn't even wear his helmet.

Zathura / int_f4b1129f	comment	Anger Born of Worry: The Astronaut yells at Walter after Danny seemingly disappears from the wish. Only because he didn't want Walter to make the same mistake he did with the wish years ago: wishing that his little brother had never been born.

Zathura / int_f8d24fbb	comment	Their older sister Lisa zigzags this. She is grouchy the first time she interacts with them, but they had just woken her up while talking really fast at the same time, confusing her, and she thought it was night out and she's missed a date, and afterwards she mostly subverts this and shows some Big Sister Instinct.

Zathura / int_f9e16ef	comment	Distressed Dude: Walter: His Alternate Timeline self becomes stranded within outer space for fifteen long years after wishing his version of Danny away. His Alternate Timeline self must save him from getting Thrown Out the Airlock once he cheats at the game. A Zorgon attempts to eat his and Danny's heads off, only for Lisa to drop a piano onto him. Upon the revelation that Zathura is a black hole, Lisa attempts to carry him to safety, only for them and Danny to get sucked into it as the game resets both itself and time upon the latter winning it near the end of the film.

Zathura / int_fdbdc112	type	Practical Effects
Zathura / int_fdbdc112	comment	Practical Effects: Used extensively throughout, courtesy of the legendary Stan Winston studio, as Jon Favreau greatly prefers them to the alternative. With the exception of the exterior shots of the house in space, which are obviously CGI (however, the house itself was a miniature model) as much of the film as possible is done practically, including the Zorgons, the robot (the arms and legs were digital because they're far too thin for a human's arms or legs, but the large torso and head was real) and even the exterior shots of the Zorgon ships, which were done using the semi-lost art of Miniature Effects rather than CGI. The house set was built on a gimbal. Even the rocket exhaust from the Zorgon ships was a real flame.

Zathura / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
Zathura / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Two examples. In every shot of the house floating through space, a bicycle is seen orbiting the house. In the final shot of the film, the bike finally crashes back into the front yard after everyone leaves. Lisa's compliment about her crush The Astronaut's gorgeous eyes. Little did anyone know was that The Astronaut was actually Lisa's brother Walter from an alternate timeline. Much to her disgust. When everything goes back to normal and the siblings leave to their mother's car, Walter jokes about it to Lisa, which earns him a Death Glare from her: "Still think I have gorgeous eyes?".
