has anyone seen it?

i went to see it and then about 15 minutes till the end, the fire alrm went off and we had to evacuate

is this worth going to see again? i have the ticket stub and it can get me into any movie(that's not sold out)for free. should i see this or save it for something else?

save it for RENT

seriously, i havent seen zathura. it just seems like too much of a jumanji rip off. the question is did you like what you saw? b/c if you didnt love what you saw, its not worth going back to see 15 (probably very predictable) minutes. if you liked what you saw, then i say go back and see it. but if you werent crazy about it, then save it for something you really wanna see!

Well, the critics have been dubbing it as a pretty good movie, but I'm not anxious to see it.

And yes, save it for RENT!

haven't seen it - but I'm not sure "ripoff" is the right word since the story was written by the same person as Jumanji. I think a better term would be same plot, different location LOL

It's supposedly a less-scary Jumanji. And I'm nuts about Chris Van Allsburg, but his stories are too insubstantial to be made into feature-length films. The best parts are his illustrations, anyway, so turning them into live action just seems besides the point.
