Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D is full of whizz-bang demonstrations of how far 3D technology has come--trilobite antennae quivering towards the audience, a T-rex lunging out of the frame, even affable star Brendan Fraser spitting on us--as well as a half-dozen action sequences clearly destined to become videogames or theme park rides. The plot is incidental: When a seismic geologist (Fraser) discovers his lost brother's notes in a copy of the titular Jules Verne novel, he and his nephew (Josh Hutcherson, Bridge to Terabithia, Zathura) head to Iceland. There, joined by a fetching mountain guide (played by Icelandic actress Anita Briem), they get trapped in a cavern and go down, down, down, finally arriving in a primeval underworld full of prehistoric beasts and carnivorous plants. It would be pointless to complain about the empty-headedness of it all; Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D aspires to be a kinesthetic experience. It wants to engage your adrenal glands, not your brain or your heart (the dialogue and characters are so generic, the script may have been cut-and-pasted from previous versions of Verne's book). Fraser, with his goofy handsomeness and accessible presence, provides a reasonably human axis around which all the frantic flying and swooping CGI effects revolve. The movie is as hollow as the world it depicts, but as mindless action movies go, you could do a lot worse. --Bret Fetzer

 Love this movie! January 9, 2009

I loved this movie so much! I only wish it had more dinosaurs throughout the movie instead of just 2 times. Love the movie so much that I watched it 2 times in 2 days, and plan to watch it over and over. Great story plot and keeps you watching throughout the whole movie. Highly recommend!!!
Good Movie January 9, 2009

This comes with the 3-d glasses but i liked to watch it normally for the 3-d color was off to me.
 Good Movie, 3-D is just OK December 24, 2008

This remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth is a pretty good version. No stellar performances, special effects are good. The blu-ray is crisp and clean. The adaptation of 3-D for blu-ray has a few issues though. It uses an unusual combination of red and green lenses, and the green will often get too dark and you'll find yourself adjusting the glasses to try and get a better view. I'm not sure if the glasses are what cause the movie to become so devoid of color, but it almost appears to be a black and white film in 3-D. Though entertaining, some of the 3-D tricks are the oldest in the book, and you almost feel like you've been there - done that. You WILL appreciate the ability to choose between the 3-D and the standard versions of the film.
Obviously the comparison between this version of Journey to the Center of the Earth and it's original counterpart is going to be like comparing apples and oranges. The technology has progressed so much for this latest version. You won't need to use your imagination so much now. I think the newer version of the movie is worth seeing, and definitely does NOT fall under the category of unnecessary remakes.
