Okay so I just watched this again today for the first time in quite a while.
Two things jump out at me: 1) The animatronics are not great. 2) The ending is horrible.
Not cinematically, but in terms of what happens.
So they finish the game and all the stuff they unleashed goes back inside the game. That part of it is fine.
The time travel is where it gets tricky:
With all of their memories and mental faculties the two from the 60's go back to when they first started playing the game. We know they remember everything because it's a really huge point that the filmmakers make to show that they are now adults trapped in their per-pubecent bodies. Well that kind of sucks now doesn't it?
But whatever, it's no big deal. My issue is this. There are two timelines created because we see that they grow up and get married and life is totally different for everyone else. We know this because the kid's parents are still alive at the end. The kids don't remember since they didn't experience it in this lifetime.
So that means that the kids we see during the whole entire movie DON'T ****ING EXIST! They have unwritten an entire Universe. Unless the other Universe is never shown. Which would make the game a portal between them all.
But even that's common place amongst these movies. The biggest issue is the game itself. Lets say two Universes exist. Does a game exist in two separate timelines? If so there must be possibly infinite Jumanjis since there should be a new Universe created every time the game is beaten. If it doesn't exist in both timelines that means it's a wormhole that connects all the Universes, and the most dangerous object in existence. Who made it? Why?
Lets say two timelines don't exist. That means the game has to be a vessel, with the power to wipe out an existing Universe! I just was sittin there at the end going: :biggums:
Idk if any of you have seen this recently but for some reason the implications really stuck me in this one.
