  • Trivia When Trevor opens the box of stuff belonging to his lost brother, he pulls out an odd wooden item, says he doesn't know what it is, and sets it aside. The item is a Holmes Stereoscope, designed in 1861 by Oliver Wendell Holmes to look at stereocards. Similar to postcards, they show a left-view and right-view photograph mounted next to each other. When viewed through a stereoscope, the photographs merge into one 3-D image. The Holmes Stereoscope was a great source of entertainment in the Victorian era. The same process was later adopted for ViewMaster viewers and cards.
  • Goofs (at around 1h 18 mins) When Trevor tries to ignite the magnesium with a flare, he claims that it's "...too wet...". Magnesium burns in water, producing magnesium oxide and hydrogen - in fact, pouring water on burning magnesium intensifies the fire; the most effective way to douse a magnesium fire is to cover it with sand or dry dirt.

Sean : [running from a dinosaur] Haven't you ever seen a dinosaur before?

Trevor : Not with skin on it!

  • Crazy credits As the credits are rolling a stick of dynamite with a burning fuse sometimes falls past them. In the 3D version, it is sometimes in the background and sometimes the foreground. When the credits end the dynamite explodes.

Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D review

The 3D movies are coming, and Brendan Fraser is leading the charge! Rob settles down for a funfair ride and a half...

Believe the hype, and the next few years will see a cavalcade of 3D movies. Leading the charge is this surprisingly low-key (at least in its promotion) adventure with Brendan Fraser. So I grabbed my 3D glasses, and sat back to see what all the fuss is about…

Now I know films in 3D are a gimmick, but it’s a fun gimmick, and as anyone who has ever been to Universal Studios will know, some can be used to great effect to impress an audience. The Terminator ride is one of the best ‘experiences’ there.

This idea of latching onto the ‘experience’ of a film, rather than the film itself, is something that we, as an audience have seen before. The most recent example was the average Beowulf, which was made a whole lot better with Grendel ripping Nordic warriors in half under your nose. And this is really the same tactic that Journey employs. It’s a fairground ride, nothing more, nothing less.

Now granted, to call a film a ride seems harsh, but really this is what it is. Admittedly it isn’t a bad ride, but really all this film provides is a trip on the log-flume without the stagnant water, or a go on ‘Rita Queen of Speed’ without the queuing. And while those expecting a faithful or cerebral adaptation of Jules Verne’s tale will be severely disappointed, everyone else – like the audience sharing the experience with me, who were looking to be entertained by things being poked in your eye or having water spat directly at you from a film – is in for a treat.

Ad – content continues below

Plotwise things are pretty thin. Brendan Frasier plays a geologist whose brother goes missing a decade earlier doing field-work, investigating and probing into hidden ‘tubes’ in the earth. Fraser then picks up his brother’s lifes’ work and then, one day his messy academic life is interrupted by having his nephew staying with him (which involves a dangling and unexplained plot move about a move to Canada). And – coincidence alert – one of his missing brother’s probes activates on the same afternoon. The action then moves to Iceland, where they team up with a very attractive pot-holer/guide/love interest/Lara Croft clone to get to the probe’s readings, and then get caught up in a storm/trapped in a avalanche.

That’s about the plot summed up, and then the actors phone in their parts. I have a lot of time for Brendan Frasier and have over the past decade enjoyed his movies. Airheads was insane and fun, the original Mummy enjoyable and George of the Jungle is at times comedy genius. And while you do get a bit of the goofy action hero, here it’s a bit underplayed and pretty vacant. The same can be said about Josh Hutcherson (who plays the nephew) and Anita Briem who plays Hannah the titular tour guide. But really this film is about the effects, and as such the characters are secondary as the film moves from one set piece to another.

It’s actually nearly halfway through the film before we get to the centre of the earth, which is surprising as you would think that a flick like this would get down to the man eating plants, giant mushrooms and undergrounds monsters straight away. But instead, after a cave-in, we are given a ‘bonus level’ set piece involving a runaway mine train taken straight out of Temple of Doom , only done on the cheap (and with CG). So while Indy’s dilemma seemed real and urgent, this CG-fest really is just an excuse to do a set of POV shots in 3D.

This action set piece over plot and characters sets the tone for the final reel of the film, where the subterranean realm is not really explored or discussed, but merely wandered through with no sense of awe. The team follow a surprisingly intelligent neon coloured hummingbird through the dangers, to find the only and implausible means of escape. With dinosaurs to dodge, magnetic rocks to navigate and a sea full of evil flying fish to bat out of the way, it’s fair to say that the film doesn’t take itself too seriously, with danger just perilous enough to be able to get through without any real danger. And it’s all, of course, a useful excuse to have things fly, poke or generally come out of the screen towards the audience without those inconvenient things like emotions or plot development getting in the way (check out how quickly they skim over the ‘death’ scene and the heating up issues).

But even with a ending that is verging on the plainly stupid, the film still manages to entertain. And even though the movie is packed full if implausible things (Google on a PSP on a plane, a mobile working miles underground), it’s still fun, silly and entertaining and as such does its job. It’s also a ride that you can’t imagine ever working when it gets to DVD or Blu-ray, meaning that the 3D adventure is very much the one to take.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

In the family adventure "Journey to the Center of the Earth," three adventurers plunge deep into a strange new realm beneath the Earth's surface where they embark on an amazing voyage and find awe-inspiring sites amidst grave danger. During a scientific expedition in Iceland, visionary scientist Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and their beautiful local guide, Hannah (Anita Briem), are unexpectedly trapped in a cave from which their only escape is to go deeper and deeper into the depths of the Earth. Traveling through never-before-seen worlds, the trio comes face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable creatures--including man-eating plants, giant flying piranha, glow birds and terrifying dinosaurs from days past. The explorers soon realize that as volcanic activity increases around them, they must find a way back to the earth's surface before it is too late. With spectacular photo-real environments and revolutionary new filmmaking techniques, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is an epic adventure that takes audiences directly into the heart of our heroes' voyage, bringing them along for a wild, visceral ride. New Line Cinema and Walden Media present "Journey to the Center of the Earth" starring Brendan Fraser ("Crash," "The Mummy" films), Josh Hutcherson ("Bridge to Terabithia") and Anita Briem ("The Tudors"). The film marks the big screen directorial debut of Academy Award-winning visual effects veteran Eric Brevig ("Total Recall," "Pearl Harbor"). A kinetic thrill ride that puts a contemporary twist on Jules Verne's original novel, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is the first live-action, narrative motion picture to be shot in digital 3D.

Which Lightsaber Type Should You Use, Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

Alien: romulus box office crawls past major domestic milestone, pitt & clooney's new movie had its theatrical run slashed by apple, now the director responds.

I was trying to come up with a metaphor for Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D , and the perfect one came to mind:

Journey 3D is like vanilla pudding.

It was OK, not really awful or anything - but not something you would go out of your way to watch if there was something better available.

Really, I don't think I need to go into the plot of this film too deeply - it's a well known story and everyone should be familiar with either the Jules Verne novel or the 1959 version of the film starring James Mason and Pat Boone. Here we have Brendan Fraser (as Trevor Anderson) playing a professor of geology whose brother has vanished 10 years ago. Things aren't going well for him, with a smarmy department head who is going to close down his lab, which is based on the work of Trevor's brother.

Trevor gets home to discover that his widowed sister-in-law is dropping of her son Sean (Josh Hutcherson) for 10 days while sher prepares things for their move to Canada (don't ask, there's no explanation). Trevor has no idea how to communicate with a 13 year old boy and predictably things get off to a sour start.

Eventually they end up in Iceland at the door of Hannah (Anita Briem) who acts as their guide to the mouth of an inactive volcano. As you know they of course end up plummeting to the "center" of the Earth and I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying they survive. :-)

The film is all about the journey, aptly enough, and the 3D visual effects. We've got a T-Rex, giant Venus Flytraps, glowing hummingbirds, giant sea serpents and huge flying piranhas. Oh, and the obligatory mine scene with a roller coaster-like railroad track on which the transport carts ride.

There are a few scenes where they utilize "in your face" 3D with things jumping out of the screen towards the audience, and from the sound of it folks watching the movie seemed to enjoy it. Again, I'll say that my favorite thing about 3D in films is the depth of field it gives scenes that adds a subtle "you are there" feeling to the movie.

The best actor in the film was young Josh, with Anita coming in second. Brendan Fraser was, well, Brendan Fraser.

So as I said above: If you've got kids 10 and under or if you're a fan of 3D movies, go check it out. Otherwise take away the gimmick and you're basically left with a cheesy made for TV movie.

Product Description

Director Eric Brevig's adaptation of the classic Jules Verne adventure story is the first live-action feature to be shot in digital 3-D. His scientific theories rubbished by his eminent colleagues, Professor Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser) sets off on a backpacking trip to Iceland to get away from it all with his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and local guide Hannah (Anita Briem). Stumbling across a previously unknown cave system, the explorers soon find themselves journeying deeper and deeper into the earth's core, on a rollercoaster ride into an unknown world populated by man-eating plants, lava lakes, and some seriously hungry dinosaurs.
