Movie a Day #112: Jumanji


Love this movie! Very Entertaining and another solid performance by Robin Williams! Highly reccomend if you havent seen it!


Following review courtesy of Amazon.com:

When Alan Parrish finds an old board game in a construction site, he has no clue what awaits him. When he and friend Sarah Whittle start to play, he is pulled into the game and she is chased from the house by bats. Fast-forward 26 years to when brother and sister Peter and Judy Shepherd start to play. They free a now grown Alan from the game, but in the process release monkeys, mosquitoes, and a lion. They realize they must finish the game to make everything return to normal. Reuniting with the adult Sarah, they attempt to stay alive long enough to do just that.

This movie is a fantastic fantasy/action movie. It starts out well, and the suspense continues to build until the climax. At the same time, it's got some great one-liners and funny scenes to break the tension. The entire cast does well with the material, including all the special effects. The special effects show their age today and are a bit more stylized then realistic, but they serve the movie well.

I actually was pleasantly surprised by this movie--I'm not a huge fan of Robin Williams' family fare, but this one was pretty solid.

Big fan of this movie. Fun plot and a nice cast. Lots of memorable scenes.

SEQUEL: Based on Chris Van Allsburg's book Zathura, the sequel will focus on an intergalactic board game which comes to life. David Koepp scripts the film long in development at Columbia. Just signed on to direct is Jon Favreau.
