Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

grizzlekix Great storyline, good characters, good watch. Love baby josh hutcherson.

Taylor Kingston I really enjoy this movie. It's a lot better than the sequel. I like how in the original Journey To The Center Of The Earth, in the fifties (I think), was exactly like the book. But this one is in a world where the book exists and the travellers follow its guide. This movie is about a man, his nephew and their tour guide going on a mission to find a long-lost brother/father. They end up going to the center of the Earth, seeing all of its wonders. But with wonders, comes danger. Which leads our heroes to get into some very big trouble.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

Laakbaar At 5.8, this movie is currently under-rated. It's worth around 7.5.I suppose it's primarily a film for young adults. It has a young teenage heartthrob as one of the leads. The story seems to be told from his perspective at times. The movie has an overt Disneyesque feel. It has the thrills, spills and chills that teenagers find exciting.I cannot deny that I have seen this film twice now and enjoyed it both times. It evokes the explorer in me, and it also brings back pleasant memories of discovering the Verne books and watching the original 1959 film back in the early 1970s. I like Brendan Frasier's goofiness, breezy charm and masculine presence, and I thought the other two leads were good. I liked the imaginative and beautiful portrayal of the "world within the world".Was the movie perfect? No, not at all. I could list the various demerits raised by other reviewers. However, for some reason, these problems did not hinder my enjoyment of the movie during either viewing. I connected to my inner child and was quite willing to overlook them. Sort of like going to a theme park and just enjoying it.

stevenwrodgers If you like cartoons and sci-fi, you'll probably like this. I must admit it was entertaining, but they lost me at the point that the boy received a cell phone call from 3,000 miles below the surface of the earth! I can't even get a signal from my own basement, 2 miles from the nearest tower! Notwithstanding, it is similar to many blockbusters, in which the main characters go through numerous near-death experiences that would kill any normal human being 10 times over, yet they all come out relatively unscathed. The inevitable romance between the girl and the scientist is obvious from the beginning of their journey, but.... If you can suspend disbelief for two hours, especially if you have 3-D, it could be an enjoyable experience.
