Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D (2008)

This movie is exciting, though at times, not entirely believable. This new version of Journey to the Center of the Earth is set in the present time with the Jules Verne book forming the "research" for a new adventure. Science professor (Brenden Fraser takes us on a journey to the center of the unseen earth where we meet translucent birds, man eating plants, prehistoric monsters and other never before seen creatures and lands in the underworld.

The film is directed by Academy Award-winning visual effects veteran Eric Brevig (Total Recall, Pearl Harbor) and features a Digital 3D experience which is the star attraction of the movie. Some of the sets are impressive - like the levitating boulders and the lake at the center of the earth sequence.

If you are in the mood for a good adventure movie, you will like this fast paced yarn. Don't forget to bring along your kids. They will have a good time at the movie too.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is suitable for children:

Journey to the Center of the Earth is rated PG for intense adventure action and some scary moments, including people falling into deep, dark pits, being chased by a tyrannosaurs rex, being attacked by scary prehistoric flesh eating flying fish, and being attacked by carnivorous venus fly-trap type plants. Generally, the movie should be suitable for children as the film does not go out of its way to be horrifyingly scary though those watching the movie in 3D may be startled by pop-out objects.
