Loved it! 2010-07-30

Reviewer: bluejay6537

I first saw this on a movie channel and had to have it! It is a good movie, full of adventure and chuckles. The dvd has 2 sides to it, one side is for 2D viewing and the other side for 3D viewing. The 3D glasses (2pair) came with the dvd. I can watch it in 2 and 3D which is awesome.

Brendan Fraser's character,Trevor,is a professor at a university who's brother, Max, went missing while following signals he had been monitoring. Trevor has his nephew, Sean, with him for a couple of weeks when he notices some activity on the rods he and Max had posted years ago. Off to explore and start the adventure. They meet Hannah, who is their mountain guide. Off they go up the mountain, where Trevor finds one of the rods and he wants to study it but a "freak" storm chases the trio into a cave. And that is where the adventure begins! I love the line where Sean says, "We're in deep shist". Gonna have to watch the movie to see how and why he says it. I give this movie 5 stars for adventure and the laughs. There are some cute one liners. If you like adventure and comedy, this movie has both.

Poor writing, poor acting, is this 2012? 2010-07-15

I'm wishing that I had rented this before buying it on demand. I had expected more from Brendan Fraser... ok, maybe not, its hit or miss with him. The movie is filled with predictable and poor writing, combined with non-stop cliche. It is as if the horrible writers who know only non-stop cliche decided to make a new movie titled 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. I really wish I could get a refund.

I wouldn't even recommend it to rent.

Good family film 2010-07-13

Reviewer: Brent Butler

If you aren't a Brenden Fraser fan, stop right here and search for another film.

If you are, you'll like "Journey".

This is a good family film. We were able to watch it very comfortably with our 9 year old grand-daughter.

The movie, which is about three people trapped far beneath the earth with prehistoric plants and creatures, is both exciting and funny. The main characters are all likable, and Brendan Fraser is at his charming and funny best.

Sadly, even if you do all the work to correctly track down the 3D dvd version of this film and the 3D glasses. it won't do you much good. The home 3D presentation doesn't exactly jump off the screen at you, so my advice would be to skip the extra trouble and expense that I went through to that end.

Suspension of disbelief is no greater for this 'follow-up' film than it was for the Verne book or for the original movie with James Mason and Pat Boone. The special effects are good, and the same solid dinosaurs about to eat people type that you've come to appreciate ever since Jurassic Park. The story is NOT meant to be a cover of the Verne book, it is sort of a sequel, in a way. That element of the movie was handled in a very interesting fashion.

This is not the best movie you've ever seen, but it is enjoyable, and one of few you can enjoy with the family, so it does have value.

Journey to Center....Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! 2010-06-14

I saw this Movie with my wife in 2008 when we visited New York from Puerto Rico and it was awesome. My wife is crazy about this one. She loves the older version also. We are glad to have this in our collection of Sci-Fi adventure library.

GREAT Family Movie! 2010-04-05

Reviewer: mtnmommy

This is a great family movie. There's no violence, sex or language and it's still full of action and adventure. It's actually one movie I can watch repeatedly with my kids (ages 3&5). An adult may criticize the special effects which aren't spectacular, but young kids will love it and it is entertaining.
