Walter being an asshole to his little brother actually makes sense to me. When something life changing is happening in your life and it's outside of your control most children do lash out if it be trouble in school , being more lethargic and cold, or even bullying some weaker than yourself. This gives them a sense of control back in their life. His wish also made sense to me since a child wouldn't immediately think to get out of danger but would be selfish and want something for themselves. This is the best way to also show character growth since his second wish evolved into something selfless.

I'm personally okay with rehashing... _as long as you're making it better_ and not piggy-backing off people's affection for the film you're rehashing, for example "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is almost a remake of "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes", it has a lot of similar plot points, but it's SO much better made and engaging.

It was actually explained in the movie, how the astronaut was able to come back. During the sandwich scene he tells Walter “I had to fit in a worm hole this big” So Walter actually destroyed Older Walter’s timeline by not wising Danny away. Normally Older Walter would’ve disappeared the second he wished for the football, but I’m guessing there was still a chance of Walter killing Danny with the second wish.

In case anyone was wondering, I read both the books as a kid. And I think that both the books connect to each other in a way at the end of them. Like I think that at the end of the Jumanji book they see the two boys walking to their house carrying the Zathura game. So I think that they missed out on the opportunity to make the two movies connect which would have been really cool.

The time issue between Walter being older and younger is called a “twin paradox” or “time paradox” in which the moment a decision is made two realities are created based on the outcome of the decision.. Meaning when he made the wish from the card it was one of two outcomes, if he wished for his brother never to be born he would be stuck within the game.. And if he wishes for the football the game continues to its end, looping back to before the younger brother pushes ‘start’ on the game..

When my brother and I were younger we saw this in theaters. I was a huge scaredy cat all the wait until teenagehood, so I spent a lot of the movie with my eyes closed... but I remember vividly Harold’s reactions to his brother’s. My brother reacted the same way to most of my actions with me having the typical illogical brain of an overactive younger brother. After the movie I remember my brother wrapping his arm around my shoulder- not verbal, as he had trouble expressing himself outside of anger, but I knew this had an effect on both of us. This movie holds a special place in my heart because of that.

"They run around as if evading meteors, but actually the meteors evade them. Incredible things will happen while they play "Zathura," but they will survive. That helps explain why they can still breathe when they open the front door and discover that their house is now in orbit around Saturn." Hope this explanation helps some.

I remember reading the book in elementary school. It’s not actually a novel, neither is Jumanji, they’re both pretty small children’s books. In the book version of Zethura there is no astronaut that turns out to be Walter. The movie is just a huge elaboration of a small book

Instead, the older brother is time warped back to when he picked up the game, possibly leaving the younger brother now unable to finish the game. Personally, that kinda fucked me up as a kid, the idea that one wrong move from _another player_ would leave _you_ trapped in the game forever.

For real folks, check out his backlog of films, not just The Hunger Games and Bridge to Terabethia, he's always been very talented. Not all of the films are great but he's nearly always amazing in them. Also massive missed opportunity with Peta Jones and the fact Josh Hutcherson is Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games films.
