Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is releasing Worldwide on 29th of this month. However, the Premiere shows were completed in Los Angeles, CA. One of our APHERALD Editors watched it in Archlight Hollywood and we bring the Exclusive Review of the movie.
Most of us would know the plotline as we would have seen the earlier version of Robin Williams's 'Jumanji' (1995). Here in this new adventure, 4 High School Kids who are in detention find an Old Video Game console and to kill time they start playing it.
