JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (Theatrical Release USA 2008)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

Journey to the Center of the Earth is a good show and worth watching. While Brendan Fraser does not seem to fit his assigned character well, Josh Hutcherson and Anita Briem are well cast for their parts. The story is great and the concept is well thought out. Like the original Journey to the Center of the Earth, there is not much storyline here. But, there are bits and pieces of the film that stand out (like the dinosaur chase).

Yes. The movie is well-made and has some creatively different scenery (like the raft in the ocean) that is quite good.
