This is a wildly entertaining reboot of the classic 1995 movie, Jumanji , with a clever modern twist. This time, the mysterious Jumanji game has evolved into a video game console.

Featuring a stellar cast comprising Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, and a cameo by Nick Jonas, the movie is a perfect blend of adventure, comedy , and nostalgia.
