Jumanji (12A)

A 30th anniversary rerelease of Joe Johnston's rollicking action adventure. Robin Williams plays a poor little rich boy who has survived for years in the old board game of the title which releases hordes of giant mosquitoes, monkeys and rhinos. It really amounts to a series of sub-Jurassic Park special effects - mechanical fantasy, in fact, rather than the real thing.
