The script has fun with this concept, deriving humor from the juxtaposition of the characters’ personalities with those of their avatars.
And whether they want to play or not, the only way back to their real lives is to beat the challenges of the virtual world. After a quick introduction to the rules and objectives of their quest, presented by a tour guide (Rhys Darby) who appears to be part of the game’s program, the group is sent on their way. Each of them now find themselves within the body of their game character: Spencer (Dwayne Johnson) is the invincible hero, Fridge (Kevin Hart) is his mousy sidekick, Martha (Karen Gillan) is a sexy, mix-martial-arts fighter, and Bethany (Jack Black) is a pudgy, middle-aged man. As a refresher for new audiences, the first few minutes of this sequel portray the transformation of the antique amusement into a video game version, and the unfortunate consequences that befall the teen (Nick Jonas) who loaded the game into the console the four students are presently toying with.įollowing its usual format, Jumanji vacuums up the quartet, and places them within its jungle environment. If so, they would know Jumanji used to be a board game with the power to suck players into the action. Younger viewers may not remember the 1995 film about this game either, or the Chris Van Allsburg book that inspired it. None of the four are familiar with the title Jumanji, yet playing it seems more fun than doing their assignment to sort discarded magazines. While doing detention time in a storeroom at their high school, nerdy Spencer (Alex Wolff), football star Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain), non-conformist Martha (Morgan Turner) and boy-crazy Bethany (Madison Iseman) find an old video game console still loaded with a cassette. Many people can relate to the feeling of being immersed in an activity, but the movie Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle depicts the experience literally – not just figuratively.
