Where to even begin dissecting that press release? To beat the game and return to the real world, they’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover what Alan Parrish left 20 years ago, and change the way they think about themselves – or they’ll be stuck in the game forever.” What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – you must survive it. “When four high-school kids discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of – Jumanji – they are immediately drawn into the game’s jungle setting, literally becoming the avatars they chose: gamer Spencer becomes a brawny adventurer (Dwayne Johnson) football jock Fridge loses (in his words) “the top two feet of his body” and becomes an Einstein (Kevin Hart) popular girl Bethany becomes a middle-aged male professor (Jack Black) and wallflower Martha becomes a badass warrior (Karen Gillan). Well, the synopsis released by Sony was enough to give me pause.

You may be asking yourself how I can be worried about a movie that hasn’t even debuted a trailer yet. I was such a huge fan of the film that I can still remember the most famous clue offered up by the magical game within the movie: “In the jungle you must wait, until the dice read five or eight.” (It was actually this clue that sucked young Alan Parrish into the game to begin with, and instilled an irrational fear within me that prevented me from playing the board game based upon the movie that Hasbro released.) Because of all of this, it pains me to say that the movie being released this year that I’m most worried about is the long-awaited sequel, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It was so popular, in fact, that it spawned an animated television series, video games, and a board game. Starring Robin Williams as Alan Parrish, a man who got sucked into and trapped within a magical board game as a child only to be freed years later as an adult by two kids who began playing the game where he left off, the movie was a huge financial hit despite the mixed reviews. Growing up in the nineties, one of my favorite movies was 1995’s Jumanji.
