Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)


6/10 (8.5/10 for Disney fans)

Entertaining, very,very Disney. Imagine, Indiana Jones,crank up the family Disney levels, and you will have a real good idea what to expect from this film. Full of corny tongue in check humor, a crazy amount of crazy close calls, and a ton of Jurassic park effects and themes! The characters are put through more bone crushing thrills and spills, explosions that would sear the flesh from bones, falls that would make a large splat stain on the ground than in any other film I have seen recently. Yet they come out with a few smudges of dirt and no apparent loss of motor function. All in all the film is a goof and the fact that it isn't a film that is trying to be serious is the only reason it manages to stay entertaining despite it's ridiculousness. I think my opinion would have been higher if I had sen the 3d version though.

The Plot:

A science professor whose radical theories have completely tarnished his reputation. While backpacking across Iceland with his nephew Sean, the two explorers find a cave that leads them deep down into the bowels of the planet. And so they go on a quest to find out what has happened to the scientist's missing brother, a scientist, his nephew and their mountain guide discovers a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth. There they discover a bizarre landscape filled with terrifying creatures.
