I wanted to like this movie. I really did. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Many of the reviews were very good for this movie. And the movie had some good moments. But they were all moments strung together. Overall, if I were you, I’d wait for the DVD.

The story follows two brothers (and their self-involved sister) as they get drawn into a board game that takes them on a space adventure. They have to finish the increasingly dangerous game in order to have the game reset and get them back to home.

I love space movies. I love being put into a new world and seeing how things turn out. I suspend my disbelief to be a part of a movie’s internal logic. But this movie just didn’t have any true logic to it. The characters may be flawed but they have to act at least somewhat rationally. Maybe it’s that kids today are just as awful as the older boy was.
