Jumanji: The Next Level
Jumanji : The Next Leveltook the story ofJumanjiand its adventuresome Earth to , well , the next level - and that included a succession in the desert in which the avatars were being track by untamed ostriches while riding in dune buggies . And to fete the film free on Blu - ray , Screen Rant traveled to Solvang , CA , as well as Pismo Beach , CA , to get the ultimateJumanjiexperience . And that entail hinge upon in dune buggy ourselves , among other thing .
On Day 1 , we were first given the chance to test out Void VR ’s novel game , Jumanji VR : rescind the swearword . While it does n’t take place at any one point in theJumanjistoryline , players - up to four - go through the taradiddle as one of the four main avatars : Dr. Xander " Smolder " Bravestone ( Dwayne Johnson ) , Professor Sheldon " Shelly " Oberon ( Jack Black ) , Franklin " Mouse " Finbar ( Kevin Hart ) , and Ruby Roundhouse ( Karen Gillan ) . Each avatar come equipped with similar strengths and weaknesses fromJumanji : Welcome to the JungleandJumanji : The Next Level .

Essentially , overrule the Curseplays out similarly to the floor of both films : players must return the jewel to lift the curse over Jumanji . The difference here is that the gem is red and it ’s incorporate within the Scepter of Se’payu . To complete the commission , player will encounter a scoundrel whose young to the Jumanji man . Overall , it was quite an exhilarate experience , especially with the correct teammates ( Screen Rant assay it out withCBR ’s Brandon Zachary , Cinemablend ’s Eric Eisenberg , andComingsoon ’s Grant Hermanns ) .
Just like in the earth of Jumanji , players inReverse the Cursecome with three life and some parts , such as Ruby fighting the enemies or Mouse talking down a lion are reserved for specific avatar . What ’s interesting and perhaps risible is that the game accounts for the heights of the player . So if a person playing as Mouse is taller than the person playing as Bravestone , that will contain over into the biz .
After taste outJumanji VR : rescind the Curse- which is the second coaction between Sony Pictures VR and Void VR - Screen Rant go to see the animal that madeJumanji : The Next Level ’s chase succession so interesting . We were take to Ostrich Land in Buellton , CA , where over a hundred ostriches and emus roam free . Since ostriches are recognized as the truehearted two - legged animals on body politic , it make sense that they were used to chase speeding sand dune buggies in the film - and we got to see that speed in person , not to mention feed them . But while the ostriches were excited to eat the nutrient , they were also too diffident to come too near .
Even though playing a VR biz and feeding ostriches are entertaining in their own right , perhaps the highlight of theJumanji : The Next LevelBlu - shaft of light trip was on Day 2 , when we grow to depend upon in dune buggies while being chased by " ostriches " on ATVs . We went to Pismo Beach to tantalise dune buggies rented out from Sun Buggy , but while it was hot and sunny when they rode the buggies inJumanji : The Next Level- something that Fridge complains about because his avatar , Professor Oberon , has a weakness to heat - we start out to test out the dune buggy in an entirely different surroundings : in torrential rainwater with skag and lightning . It was quite an experience and one that we ’d likely not soon forget . tick it out :
