Sci-fi fun for the whole family! There's a young Josh Hutcherson if you are a fan of the Hunger Gamer. A must watch!

A lot better than I thought it would be. I ended up seeing it while I watched my sister's kids. It ended up grabbing my attention.

This is one of the best movies. My son watched it six times in three days after I received it, can't say I was thrilled to hear my 7 year old say "get me a juice box Bee-yotch" but it didn't take long for him to understand not to talk that way. It has some great humor in it, and is a really fun story. I love seeing Dax Shepard, though I kept thinking about "Employee of the Month" and would start cracking up. and Josh Hutcherson from "RV" was priceless. The Robot is totally hilarious, the whole idea was pretty unfeasible but it is a game so whatever it made me laugh, I'm keeping my copy, but then again I'm a pretty big geek. I really wish that a Jumanji 3 would come out... maybe undersea!

This would make a great movie for a young boy who loves anything to do with space. Good flick!

This is a pretty typical jumanji style movie - the only difference is that it takes the events into outspace and is more oriented to technologies like robots and such. I was not really impressed with this movie - I didnt think any of the ideas were anything different than the rest of the jumanji remakes (other than the space aspect like I said). If your kid loves jumanji style movies they will probably love this one, but the idea is too repetative of other movies for my taste.

This movie was good no matter the few vulgar words.

This was a fun movie until the part where little Danny calls his older brother a "Dick" and his name is Walter. Also, Walter tells a robot to "get me a juice box biotch." My son is 5 and I prefer he didn't watch this for those reasons as well as some scary moments. A friend who lets her 5 year old watch this gave it high reviews. However, not something I would recomend, but, of course, that's up to each parent.

"I do not approve of the language used in this PG movie. One of the most helpful reviewers mentions that the language is language her children hear at home anyway. My children do not hear these words (dick, beyotch)at home and certainly do not call each other those things. I felt the need to discuss the language with my children who are 8 and 10. Neither one of them even know what they mean--thank goodness. We will not be watching this movie again."
