Really bad watch, wont' watch again, and can't recommend unless it is for a Bad Movie Night. This movie has some charming aspects to it, and honestly a great premise (The "Jumanji" and "Zathura" movies prove that.) The writing itself is even good, but you can see where they had to note things when it went to production. By far, the worst bit of this was the cg, it honestly would have been better to just never show the CG animals and have them verbally describe them. It's almost as bad as "Birdemic". To be fair, the foley for the gunfire actually seemed accurate enough. There are obvious horrible cliches abound like leaving weapons behind, not checking inventory (which they even joke about), and of course there is the wonderful pro-feminine argument where the movie makes a commentary on the stupid outfits the ladies have to wear, but the movie is the one that put them in those outfits (and leaves them in them for far too long). The reason this isn't going to stand up along side its sister movies is just bad acting: the main ladies clearly seem like they have some talent for it, but action fighting is clearing not what they should be doing.

**_Three women get drawn into a video game at an arcade_** This ‘B’ flick from The Asylum came out at the end of 2019 around the same time as “Jumanji: The Next Level” and tried to take advantage of its popularity. Instead of statuesque Karen Gillan as the redhead protagonist, there’s Jessica Chancellor, who’s petite by comparison, yet more voluptuous. Although a throwaway flick, it’s a fun adventure/fantasy highlighted by Jessica, one of the most attractive redheads to hit the screen in recent years. The camera doesn’t fail to capture her beauty in a respectful way. Check her out in “616 Wilford Lane” from a couple of years later to see her in a more serious film. Winsome Emily Gateley is also worth a mention in a small role as young Sarah. It runs 1h 27m and was shot in Santa Barbara, which is located 90 miles northwest of Hollywood, on the coast. GRADE: C+
