Alex sets the game aside. That night, it transforms into a video game cartridge which catches Alex 's attention when he is awakened by the Jumanji drum beats. When he begins playing it, he is transported into the game. Twenty years later, in 2016, Spencer Gilpin gets caught writing an essay for former friend Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson, Bethany Walker makes a video call during an English class quiz and Martha Kaply refuses to participate in gym class. All four of them serve detention. They are sent to the school basement to prepare magazines for recycling and to think about their future. Fridge discovers Alex 's discarded video - game system when he explores the basement, and he and Spencer set up the game. Although it has five playable characters, the first one can not be selected. Spencer and Fridge choose two characters, and the girls choose their own. When Spencer presses `` Start '', they are transported into the game. They are in a jungle, in the forms of their game avatars. Spencer is tough, muscular explorer and archaeologist Dr. Smolder Bravestone ; Fridge is diminutive zoologist Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar ; Bethany is a overweight male cartographer named Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon and Martha is female commando and martial arts expert, Ruby Roundhouse. They each have three lives on their arms and Bethany loses one of her lives after being eaten by a hippo. Spencer deduces that if they lose all three, they die for real. They learn the game 's story from NPC Nigel : corrupt archeologist Russel Van Pelt stole the Jaguar 's Eye a magic jewel from its shrine, cursing Jumanji. Nigel escaped Van Pelt with the jewel, and the players must return it to a jaguar statue and call `` Jumanji '' to lift the curse. Nigel warns them that Van Pelt will stop at nothing to retrieve the jewel, which gives him control of Jumanji 's animals. They begin tackling the game 's increasingly - difficult `` levels '', losing lives as they do so. The four are rescued by Alex, the missing fifth player, whose avatar is pilot Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough. Taking shelter in a jungle house built by the game 's previous player Alan Parrish, Alex believes that he has been in the game for a few months and is distressed to learn that it is really twenty years. The newcomers vow to help him return home. They break into a transportation shed, commandeering a helicopter to fly to the jaguar statue and return the jewel, but Fridge drops the jewel into a herd of white rhinoceros. Spencer sacrifices one of Fridge 's lives, pushing him out of the helicopter as a distraction, and retrieves the jewel. Alex loses his last life when a mosquito bites him, but Bethany performs CPR and transfers one of her lives to him. At the statue, the players are surrounded by a pack of jaguars and Van Pelt 's forces. They outmaneuver their opposition while Spencer and Martha race to the statue. Van Pelt confronts Martha ( trapped in a pit of mambas ) and demands the jewel, but she sacrifices one of her lives to re-spawn and get it to Spencer. With the players on their last lives, they end the game with Van Pelt disintegrating into a bunch of rats and return to the real world, but Alex does not appear with them. They find the formerly - dilapidated Vreeke home restored and decorated for a Christmas family gathering. An adult Alex arrives, having had returned to where he left off in 1996. Now married with children, he named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life and introduces them to his infant son, Andy. Spencer and Fridge reconcile, Bethany begins caring for others more than herself and plans a summer wilderness backpacking adventure, Martha and Spencer become romantically involved and the four are now friends after their experiences in the game.

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a C grade, calling it unnecessary but mildly amusing : `` Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle is further proof that even the stalest whiff of brand recognition has become preferable to originality. Only part of the blame for that belongs to the studios but after cannibalizing themselves for much of the last 20 years, Hollywood has clearly eaten their way down to the crumbs ''. For Variety, Owen Gleiberman wrote : `` Excitement ! Suspense ! Childlike innocence ! Ingeniously staged action set pieces ! These are a few of the things you will not find, anywhere, in Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle... It 's supposed to be a board game come to life but really, it 's just a bored game.
