Jumanji: The Next Level - Blu-ray + DVD + Digital

Great movie! Very funny! Easy to "rent" online. I just wish the rental was set up where you could watch it over and over for a longer period of time.

This is a direct sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which was partly a sequel and partly a reboot of the 1995 Robin Williams movie. It begins after a time jump when Spencer is in college in NY in a long-distance relationship with Martha, but feeling depressed and cut off from the group of friends. He returns home for Christmas break to find that his grandfather Eddie, played by Danny DeVito is staying in his room while recovering from hip surgery. It is not giving away anything to say he ends up in the game and the rest of the group goes back in to get him out, with unexpected consequences. One of which (again not giving anything away) is that Eddie and his frienemy Milo (played by Danny Glover) end up in the game as well. All of the main cast of characters who appear in the game, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Nick Jonas all appear. But, this time The Rock and Kevin Hart have to play DeVito and Glover's characters (to hilarious results) and Jack Black has to play Fridge. There are also new characters in the game, including Rory McCann (The Hound from Game Of Thrones, and one of the few outside pro wrestling who can make The Rock look small) playing the big-bad, Jurgen The Brutal, and Awkwafina. Colin Hanks also reprises his role, in a bit of a larger role than he had in the first movie (but not much). For those who get the movie on 4k, it looks and sounds great on UHD. The UHD disc has just previews that play after the disc loads, and the movie itself. On the regular blu-ray disc, the extras include approximately an hour's worth of making-of and behind-the-scenes material, a gag reel, and the same previews as on the UHD disc. A good amount of extras, especially since there are fewer extras being included on the physical disc releases these days. Overall, the movie uses the same formula as the first, a blend of comedy, action, and a bit of drama. Yes, there is quite a bit of bad language and some off-color jokes. So, if you are one that would be driven nuts by that, this is not for you. From what I remember the first movie was not exactly squeaky clean either, but this is definitely not a movie for young kids like the original 1995 movie was. The Rock and Kevin Hart are awesome playing old geezers, and once Awkwafina shows up, she pretty much steals every scene she is in. A mid-credits scene clearly sets up a third movie, that will definitely take things in a different direction. While I cannot say that everyone will like the movie, but if you were a fan of the 2017 movie, this is definitely worth checking out.

Great movie. So funny

I'm perplexed by the negative votes of viewers offended by this film's language. It's rated PG-13 (According to the MPAA, a PG-13 always comes with the warning: Parents Strongly Cautioned). I realize I'm sort of reviewing the reviewers here but...just wow. As for the film it's a lot of fun. I found it to be about the equal of the previous film. There's some very good quality control in this series. I'd give all three Jumanji films B+'s. Each film takes the infinitely creative premise and does something different with it. This third film had more fun with the body-swapping, leading to not only amusing comedic scenes but a few genuinely touching moments (the body-swapping isn't just used as a gimmick here). I also thought "The Next Level" had a far superior villian then "Welcome to the Jungle" whose lame antagonist was the weakest element of that otherwise very good adventure film. Jack Black and Kevin Hart are given more to do here-Kevin Hart's comedic talents were under-utilized in the previous film. However it's the boundless charisma of Dwayne Johnson and the drop-dead gorgeous badass Karen Gillan who once again steal the show. Also, despite the PG-13, I would say it's appropriate for kids 10 and up. Ignore the bizarre negative votes centered on language. Decrying a film for having foul language is a very petty, immature critique.

Few grown up jokes had to be explained to my 11 yo and a few we had to NOT explain. Great family movie!

A great movie just as good as the first

Best movie hands down! Will probably rent it again lol!

Great movie, fun and action filled!

Finde ich sehr lustig,gelungen.

Perfekt. Vielen Dank

Últimamente es raro encontrarse con mala calidad en los discos UHD y este no es la excepción. La imagen es excelente, con mucho detalle especialmente (obviamente) en tomas con mas dialogo. Los colores se ven vivos y con saturación suficiente sin llegar a ser exagerados. Contraste y brillo son excelentes. El rango de bits ronda la mayoría del tiempo entre 50 y 60 megas, pero hay momentos donde subía a increíbles 80 megas. El Sonido DTS-X es desgarrador y bien implementado. La escena de los mandriles puede ser usada como demostración. Las voces de los actores es clara y jamas es sobrepasada por la acción. Todo esta muy bien balanceado. El disco es de Sony por lo que tiene la opción "IMAX Enhanced" pero en lo personal mi equipo no cuenta con dicha opción. El Servicio de Amazon sin problemas, todo entregado en buen estado y en el tiempo correspondiente.

Unterhaltsam, vor allem der erste Teil.

A review of the Australian released 3D presentation… First up full marks must go to Random Space Media for releasing this film in the 3d Blu-ray format. Most major movie studios have abandoned the format for home video but strangely continue paying to have movies converted to 3D in post production then giving them very limited engagements in cinemas. This would appear to be a waste of money & resources. Why pay the extra production costs for 3D then not make the 3D version widely available? The list of films converted to 3d and not released on 3d Blu-ray is getting longer every month. And when it is released in 3d they only release it for one market (I’m looking at you Disney / Marvel who have released Black Widow in 3D for the Japanese market only). Rant over… Jumanji The Next Level looks amazing in 3D and even though the story is a little stretched you can forgive any plot holes as the film is based on a computer game where truly anything can happen. The disc features outstanding picture quality, awesome HD sound and is recommended 3D viewing.
