A scientist teams up with his nephew and a mountain guide in Iceland to search for his long lost brother in a fabled land said to be at the centre of the earth, which incidently is based on the famous Jules Verne novel of the same name.'Journey To The Centre Of The Earth' was an awesome adventure film and had everything you could dream of or want in a movie of this genre. The scenery was heart-stopping as was the portrayal of the mythical land known as the centre of the earth. Brendan Fraser delivers another great performance and seems to do extremely well featuring in Adventure/Action films, this one is no exception and even though i don't particularly like him as an actor he does do an extremely good job in this movie. The story and plot are great even though at times rather predictable and the whole movie delivers an action packed adventure in which viewers can marvel at vast detailed and mythical landscapes and be part of some sweet actions scenes. The CGI was fairly good, although i suspect it would have been better in 3-D as that is what it was initially designed for. A great family movie that anyone can enjoy in my book.
Pros - Awesome scenery, which at times will distract you from the story, cast, plot lines etc which is not entirely bad, it is amazing and the detail to the landscape and indeed the small world they are in is immense. Good acting all-round with another great adventure performance from Brendan Fraser. I actually enjoyed this a lot more than some of his previous movies, 'The Mummy' series for example perhaps because the action was slightly more subdued and the adventure took over which left room for a lot more character development and story. A pretty great movie in which most people will enjoy.
Cons - If you are watching this in 3-D then it will be a great experience and journey, if however you are not some of the CGI and action scenes will seem rather dated in terms of the quality of CGI and might feel as if you are watching a game and not a movie. However apart from this everything seems to go just dandy, no problems at all for me watching this and thoroughly enjoyed it throughout. A definite watch!
4.5/5 Jandals = Awesome entertainment!Watch the trailer for 'Journey To The Centre Of The Earth' Here
