There are going to be two types of people who don't like this film - those who will say "It's Jumanji in Space - nyah!" and those who will think it's a kiddie movie.

To both of those I say "you are completely correct . . . get over it!"

This is a dam'fine film. It's all about family (specifically brotherhood) , it's well-plotted - I like the nostalgic (50's) look of the game that they play - the special effects are terrific without being overdone (although it may feel that way!) - in fact, the one character that you have the most sympathy for is that house - that poor house gets the absolute STUFF knocked out of it!

Yeah, the kids'll like it. Everybody should like it. And the reasons why certain people won't like it are the same reasons why they should.
