• Lost in Space  directed by Stephen Hopkins (1998)

  [4/10]

  "If you like science fiction films at all, then you should see Lost in Space in a theater so you can get the full effect of the special effects. But don't waste your time if you want a serious or even semi-plausible plot."

• Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie directed by Bryan Spicer (1995)

  [5/10]

  "I doubt that you could enjoy the movie on its own merits; you have to see it as an extension of the Power Rangers story line established in the first couple of television seasons. But for Power Rangers fans, this movie still holds entertainment value, even after repeated viewings."

• Zathura: A Space Adventure by Chris Van Allsburg (2002)

  [5/10]

  "If you have read Jumanji, Zathura offers no real surprises. You already know that the game will alter reality, so we don't experience any shock when a meteor really does crash through the roof. But I find Van Allsburg's illustrations in Zathura inferior to his work in Jumanji."
