Synopsis
A magical board game serves as a door to another dimension in this adventure fantasy based on Chris Van Allsburg's award-winning children's book. When a pair of orphans discover the game and start playing it, they unwittingly unleash a man (Robin Williams) who's been trapped inside as well as an array of stampeding jungle animals, brought vividly to the screen courtesy of ILM's computer-generated special effects. The film is directed by Joe Johnston (THE ROCKETEER, JURASSIC PARK III).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Film, 31 Dec 2008
By David P. "A Smeg Head" (West Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
I first saw this years ago back when I was eight. I loved the film then and I love the film now. The film has a good cast (the main star being Robin Williams) and a good storyline.

The film begins in 1869, in which two boys named Callum and Benjamin are burying a box in the middle of the woods. It's very clear that there's something evil about the box.

The film then jumps 100 years and introduces 12 year old Alan Parish; the Parish family are rich and well respected, but this doesn't stop Billy and his friends from bullying poor Alan, who never finds the courage to stand and face him, but runs away, causing a chase. He escapes into his father's shoe factory. His father Sam (Jonathan Hyde) advizes him to face what he's afraid off, and Alan takes this seriously and faces Billy and his gang, thus allowing himself to be attacked.

After Billy and his gang leave, Alan hears drumbeats (which only he it seems can hear). He is drawn to the sound that leads to a nearby construction site. The sound stops when he reaches a wall. There he digs out the wooden box Callum and Benjamin buried. Alan opens the box and finds an old wooden board game called Jumanji.

He takes this home with him. That evening (after an argument with his father) his friend Sarah turns up. Alan is surprised when the drumbeats start of again, and she can hear it too. So he shows her the game. The game has four paths (one starting from each corner) that twist snake like around the board, and all end at a black glass circle at the center of the game. The object is simple enough; each player rolls the dice on their turn and the first player to reach the end wins.

Strange things happen when they begin playing. When Sarah has her go and her piece has moved (the pieces move on their own) a clue appears in the circle, and they hear a weird noise in the chimney. They decide to put the game away, but Alan accidentally drops the dice, which the game sees as his turn. The clue reads "In the jungle you must wait, til the dice read 5 or 8". "What does that mean?" he asks Sarah, but that question is answered immediately. Alan is suddenly sucked into the game, and a freaked out Sarah is chased out of the house by a load of bats (that explains the noise in the chimney).

Now the film jumps ahead 26 years, and it's now 1995. The house has been empty for years and it is rumoured that Alan was murdered by his father. A woman named Nora moves in, with her neice and nephew Judie and Peter (their parents recently died). Soon they find the game themselves and play. Right away they notice something wrong with the game, as it promps the sudden appearance of mosquitos, monkeys, a lion and a jungle man, who Judie realizes to be Alan Parish. Alan is thrilled to be home, but it's a shock to learn how much time has passed, aswell as the fate of his parents (who died whilst searching for their son). He also notices that his hometown seems to be dying. He intends to pick up his life where it left off (starting by putting on some normal clothing and having a shave and a haircut). The last thing Alan wants to do is play Jumanji (natural as he's just spent 26 years of his life imprisoned within the game), but he has no choice in the matter.

When Judie and Peter continue the game, Jumanji refuses to let them continue, then Alan realizes the truth of the matter; Jumanji isn't a game which you can quit playing half way through, pack up and replay it from scratch, but has to be finished. Alan and Sarah started the game in 1969 and Judie and Peter have become additional players. So they track down Sarah (who like Alan doesn't want to play) and begin their task of finishing the game. Only then when things will return to normal and all the things that have come out of the game will return to the jungle world of Jumanji. But the next things to be released are worse. Soon they face plants (that includes man eating plants and plants that shoot poisonous barbs), followed by a hunter Van Pelt (who's trying to hunt Alan), a bunch of Rhinos, giant spiders and more. These things soon have a huge effect upon their hometown. Their fate and the fate of their town rests in their hands. Will they end Jumanji?

A truly excellent film, well directed. Robin Williams (as always) was brilliant as his role, and played Alan brilliantly. Actor Jonathan Hyde played the roll of Sam rather well, as well as the role of Van Pelt. A brilliant film, you'd love. If you don't like it, then I've got to ask what's wrong with you?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful jungle adventure, 27 Jan 2008
By Stampy (England) - See all my reviews
Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting, Mrs Doubtfire) stars as Alan Parish, a man who comes back from being trapped inside a board game, to find his home town in ruins, and the only way to bring it back, is if he finishes the game.

This is a great fantasy adventure from director Joe Johnston who combines stunning and exciting visual effects with a gripping and mysterious plot.

The imagination about the board game makes the film amazing with various typical jungle elements encoded to anchor the plot and combine excitement and suspense to the narrative and characters.

Robin Williams is fantastic as Alan Parish, an uncomfortable soul who has had a difficult childhood, one which audiences can sympathize with.

Bonnie Hunt (Cars) is also an interesting character to watch. Juxtaposed with Williams, the two have good on screen chemistry as they hurtle through a remarkable adventure involving everything the jungle can bring.

The film encodes the semantic field of jungle life, with all the exotic surroundings used as dangerous and deadly elements. The use of animals is also a brilliant motive to get the film up and running in excitement.

Jumanji, as well as being well written and visually stunning, is also very funny. Kirsten Dunst (Spiderman) and Bradley Pierce (The Borrowers) along with Williams provide the most laughs in an enjoyable fantasy adventure for the whole family.

worth watching
