What I thought of it: We were curious about this movie, since we had heard of it on an episode of "The Apprentise", so we rented it. It was actually better than I thought it would be. It was almost as if we entered a child's vivid imagination. Through it all we see the emotional relationship of the two brothers, being competitive and wanting their dad's attention, their own love-hate issues, Walter not wanting Danny, etc. The effects were ok, but I mostly enjoyed the imagination behind it all with the Zorgons, the robots, the automatic ejection for cheating, etc.
My favorite scenes: Because the house lost gravity-field strenght the boys are flung across the room and when they got it back the younger boy, Danny, gets smack against a window, and slides down squeeking - I thought it was really funny!
When Danny gets on the alien ship to get the game back he has to make his way through a goat pen, all the while saying "It's just a goat, it's just a goat...", until one of them turn around and has 4 eyes. Danny keeps walking now saying "Not a goat! Not a goat!" - cute scene.
A good rental, especially for family!
