  Whoops! I fell into a big deep hole!

  by saintandrew

  It's really amazing how quickly a story can go from lonely dejected professor in an earth sciences lab at a small university to the center of the earth! However, this story doesn't really give you time to think about how unrealistic and unlikely the sequence of events that leads to the main premise of this update of Jules Verne's classic are. You just kind of float along for the ride. That's probably the most redeeming quality of the film. You don't really have time to ask; "how in tarnation could they come up with that so quickly?? It does leave me curious how much they left n the editing room floor. Nevertheless, this is an enjoyable film to watch and the 3D enhances the experience - even the really kitschy 3D gimmicks. A Yo-Yo in your face? Puh-lease! The acting is good and it draws you into the story. If it were not for the obvious holes in the script and the mind's inability to not chime in with a "that's impossible" thought every 10 to 12 minutes, this would be a must go film.

  Journey To The Center Of The Earth

  by tom6988

  I took my 8 yr. old to see the movie. Just to do some farther daughter time, but I really enjoy the movie. I read the book along time ago and it was very close to the book. It was so good that after we wentr to see the movie that we went to the book store and bought two copies of the book. So now we are reading the book together and saying did you remember that part in the movie. The cast was great. They along with the story line made the movie. So parents out there it is a must see with kids.

  Good Movie

  by rhett

  I took 2 kids ages 7 and 5 and we all loved the movie. It's non-stop action and yet had a plot. A good movie for the whole family.

  Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D

  by matnovaes123

  A very good movie that was extremely good for a PG movie. It was the best 3D effects in any movie to come out that is 3D. It was well worth the money that I paid for the tickets which I would see again and I am not one to see movies more than once in a theater. It was a great movie that all should see.

  3D Journey is a 3D marvel, but lacked in story and acting

  by stefeny

  I am not a fan of Brandon Frasier. I felt that the movie was spectacular to watch. The 3D of this movie is the best that I have seen. I do not have a problem with reality being bent for the big screen, as a matter of fact I prefer a movie that is fantasy, but this movie takes that to a whokle new level. The over all experiecne is not one you should miss.

  Nothing like 3D

  by Agotado

  All movies should be created on 3d format ... it was very enjoyable , especially for kids, but also adults were excited in viewing this film. You could hear the whole room react to close ups, the fishes, the dinosaur, the bugs, the rocks , water dropplets. Amazingly entertaining. Good story line, actors were very well insync w/ the cgi in the film ... very nice set ... worth a second look!!!

  WOW!

  by kenneth1324

  "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was a great action packed movie that could be appreciated by all age groups. There was no wanton sex, violence or language, just a ripping good story and the technological magic it takes to portray the plot well.
  
  Although the movie house was packed with children, they were quiet during the movie, which proved that they were engrossed with the adventure. The 3-D glaases were a night and day difference from the cheesy paper-framed green and red plastic lensed glasses passed out to audiences in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. The 3-D effects were incredibly well done. We saw people in the audience, men, women and children, reaching towards the screen during certain times, the 3-D effect was so realistic.
  
  I highly recommend this movie. It was a fun remake and worth the price of admission. Of course, nothing could be better than the original book by Jules Verne, but there is something about the visual aspect that injects another dynamic into the plot.

  Not an Adult Movie

  by Grizzly Bear

  I was excited to see this movie with my grand children, they loved it. They may not be your typical 2-7 year old movie goers, they really enjoy action moviies. I'm not sure why but kids seem to enjoy being scared in a safe environment. The movies had scarey plants and dinosaurs, add the 3-D effects and the kids had a good time. I found the begining of the movie to be slow and I felt it struggled to find it direction. Brennan Frasiers character went from a bumbling professor to an action hero instantly during the middle of the film.
  This movie isn't a classic that other films will be judged by but it was entertaining. If you want to see a movie and be entertained and not feel like you spent 2 hours in a garbage can when your done, Go see it..

  'Journey to the Center of the Earth'

  by OmniVerse

  This is a must see movie! A fun ride for sure! It's all in 3-D, very exciting and a movie that is good for all ages. Some little children in the theater had fun with the special effects, when a few called out..."It hit me!", when the 3-D images seemed to pop right out of the screen. The story is very good and is based on the Jules Verne novel, and also it looked like the writers studied Admiral Byrd and other information on inner Earth legends.
  
  My wife, a friend and myself enjoyed the movie very much and gave it 6 stars! The entire audience applauded! We feel there will be a sequel or another movie based on Atlantis, which will also be a fun time as long as they keep the main characters, Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, and Anita Briem.
  
  All the actors in the movie did a fantastic job and should get an award for their stunts.
  So, go have some fun and you can bet this movie will someday be a ride at a major theme park!
  Entertainment and excitement all in one movie!

  Journey to the Center of....boredom?

  by movie_maniac1456

  If there was one word to describe this movie, it would be mediocre. My local theater did not show the movie in 3D, and I felt like the movie revolved around this dimension. It didn't have much of a story line, and none of the actors really gave stellar performances. It seemed as though the characters were always escaping a hungry dinosaur, crossing rough seas, or falling through bottomless pits. Not only was it unbelievably predictable, but the nonstop action grew somewhat dull after a while. The movie rotated between one character saving another's life, and vice versa, the phrase "I owe you one" uttered frequently. Overall, I suggest waiting for this movie to go out on DVD before you spend your money on it.
