The game just went full throttle into the deep end—and it’s dragging the crew down with it.

Dwayne Johnson’s Dr. Bravestone is still the muscle, but even he looks small against endless ocean waves and creatures that make jungle beasts seem cuddly. Karen Gillan’s Ruby Roundhouse trades vines for rigging, kicking ass on swaying ship decks like it’s second nature. Kevin Hart’s Franklin “Mouse” Finbar is screaming through every storm (and we wouldn’t have it any other way), while Jack Black’s Professor Oberon brings that perfect mix of diva panic and unexpected heroism.

A mysterious, barnacle-crusted cartridge washes ashore, sucks them in—and suddenly Jumanji’s a merciless sea: shifting islands that vanish at dusk, pirate fleets with cursed cannons, sea monsters big enough to swallow ships whole. The avatars are pushed to new limits—swimming strengths, boat-piloting skills, even underwater combat—while the real danger is what the game demands this time: something deeper than lives. Something they can’t just punch or quip their way out of.

It’s comedy crashing into heart-pounding survival: hilarious raft disasters, emotional campfire confessions on drifting wreckage, and epic set pieces like a kraken battle under lightning-split skies. The crew’s chemistry is still lightning in a bottle—bickering, bonding, becoming family all over again.

Jumanji doesn’t just want them to play. It wants them to feel the tide.
