"Jumanji: a game for people who seek to find, a way to
leave their world behind." For various reasons, four separate high school
students, geeky gamer Spencer Glipin, football jock Anthony "Fridge"
Johnson, self-absorbed popular girl Bethany Walker, and quiet bookworm Martha
Kalpy, find themselves serving detention together. The four adolescents
discover a bizarre old video game called Jumanji while cleaning out a storage
room. Spencer and Fridge are fascinated by it and manage to persuade Bethany
and Martha to take a break from their heinous work and play the game with them.
The four students are suddenly dragged into the realm once they have all chosen
their gaming avatars.
When the students arrived in Jumanji's universe, they
discovered that they had turned into their selected identities, with Spencer
being Dr. Smolder Bravestone, Fridge becoming Franklin "Moose"
Finbar, Martha becoming Ruby Roundhouse, and Bethany becoming Professor Sheldon
"Shelly" Oberon. They quickly realised that each
had distinct powers with their own skills and limitations, as well as an
awareness of the rules of being in a game. With no other option and all
their flaws, this quartet gang is compelled to cooperate along to complete a goal
by eliminating the spell that the villain John Hardin Van Pelt has placed on
the realm of Jumanji.
Jake Kasdan directed Welcome to the Jungle. Surprisingly,
Kasdan offers this movie to a younger audience, altering the notion of
playing the Jumanji game on a video game system from the 1990s rather than a
board game. This involves taking a novel approach to trying to play "the
game," bringing us to Jumanji's universe and providing a traditional video
game style. Furthermore, Kasdan makes the picture light and kid-friendly for
the most part, making the experience of the four detained high students stuck
within a video game somewhat amusing for the young demographic, which retains
the movie's categorization PG-13.
Kasdan also maintains the story going at a quick pace, making the movie's length fly by. This implies that Welcome to the Jungle is a continual onslaught of humor, puns, and fight scenes, which resonates to the young demographic of its audience while also keeping it a light and fairly pleasant film to view.
In regards of cinematic style, Welcome to the Jungle shines
brightly, maintaining up with market criteria for a 2017 picture through the
use of vfx and production design. As a result, specific creative personnel
should be recognized for their contributions to this venture. The movie's
soundtrack is particularly noteworthy, providing some thrilling times
throughout the movie, contributing to the action/dramatic scenes.
The action of Jumanji went unnoticed for two years, but the
game always figures out a method, entangling a young group of enthusiastic
"players" in the movie Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The film,
directed by Jake Kasdan, introduces a new generation of moviegoers to the
cinematic world of adventure and peril, giving the traditional board game a
fresh visual appearance. While the movie lacks the overall excitement and
dramatic/ emotional moments that made the previous picture memorable, the
film's presentation is entertaining, and the four major actors provide enough
chuckles and entertainment value to recommend it.
Personally, I think this film ranged from quite decent to
great. It had a few flaws and didn't surpass the previous picture, but it was
quite gratifying due to the connection between the four characters. As a result,
I would conclude that this picture is both an advised and a must-see for people
of all ages. In the end, the film is a modest sequel to a 1990s classic that
lacks psychological content but excels in its adventure component.
Jumanji, like video games, has evolved to meet the needs of a new generation of
viewers. It's up to the player if that's a better match for a current audience
or just staying with the old-school nostalgia of the original movie.
