What is Jumanji: The Next Level about?
The same group of teenagers, along with an old friend and two unwitting additions, become trapped in Jumanji once again. They face new problems and challenges with both old and new avatars.
Five things to know.
Setup
The film takes place two years after the events of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
World
The game of Jumanji is suffering from a drought and the players must recover the magical Falcon Jewel to end the game.
Pressure
The group struggles adjusting to their new avatars and face trouble with communication and trust.
Craft
The film features a mix of action, comedy, and heart, with a talented ensemble cast.
Viewing note
The film is a sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and has a similar tone and style.
A thought to take with you.
The returning players expect the game to work by the rules they remember, but changed avatars and new participants disrupt their usual roles. The sequel uses those mismatches to ask how friends adapt when age, confidence, or ability changes what each person can contribute.
Is it your kind of movie?
Choose it for a video-game adventure sequel with returning characters and altered avatars. The first film explains the group, while the broad action-comedy works on its own.
