JUMANJI, THE NEXT LEVEL: The original cast is back and the basic formula is here as well, but given a boost with more of everything, including an ostrich stampede, attacking baboons, and some of the best CGI work you will ever see. The plot concerns the teenagers getting sucked back into the video game where they become Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, and Awkwafina, Also on board this time around is Danny DeVito and Danny Glover as well as brief appearances by Colin Hanks and Bebe Neuwirth. As they all switch avatars at various time, you would think it would be hard to follow, but to the credit of the screenwriters, it isn't and you are always aware what character is inhabiting which body. And it all makes for great adventure and great fun with some witty dialogue and even an homage (in the music) to "Lawrence of Arabia." For pure escapism, this one will be hard to beat. An extremely entertaining trip into the land of Jumanji.
