#JOURNEY CENTER OF EARTH 3D MOVIE#
The editing and music complement the directing very well.Īll in all, Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D is a fun, exhilarating popcorn movie that takes the audience on a mostly “clean” ride. The directing in Journey is very sharp, moving the plot along quickly. The movie has no positive references to God, however, which could have made the movie’s thematic content even stronger. In that sense, the movie reflects God's biblical commands that uncles have an obligation to care for their nephews and nieces when their brother or sister is dead, missing, or needs help. The connection between them is the nephew's missing father, the uncle's beloved brother. The dialogue in the script and the acting really brings an emotional depth to the relationship between the uncle and his nephew. Fraser really stands out he delivers a solid, heroic performance showing why he makes a good action star. Even so, Hutcherson as the son and newcomer Briem both give strong, appealing performances, as does Anita Briem as Hannah. The action sequences are very exciting, though the plot itself, which consists of going from one predicament or physical obstacle to another, is a little bit thin. The world the characters find at the center of the earth is beautiful and awe-inspiring, augmented by the 3-D effect, which makes it appear more lifelike. This movie is on the cutting edge of 3-D technology and holds many visual surprises. In their place are stylized plastic glasses. The old cardboard 3D glasses are not used. The added 3-D technology in many theaters brings an exciting “in your face” element to the action. Journey to the Center of the Earth is a fun summer movie that’s big on adventure. Then, their task becomes finding clues to a way back to the top of the earth.
Once they arrive at the center, they are in for a surprise. While looking for a way out, they accidentally delve deeper into the earth and encounter fanciful creatures that they must battle to make it to the center.

When they locate the man’s address, they find his daughter, Hannah (played by Anita Briem), who works as a guide through the dangerous Icelandic volcanic terrain. Trevor and Sean set out to discover what Max discovered and to vindicate his life long research.įollowing the clues from Max’s notes, Sean and Trevor head to Iceland in search of a fellow Vernian, an older scientist whose name Max had written in the book. Trevor realizes that his brother was a “Vernian,” someone who seeks to prove that the book by Jules Verne is based on a true story.
The book contains Max’s scientific notes in the margins. While going through a box of Max’s belongings, the two discover a well-worn copy of Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth. Trevor’s work at the university has been based on his brother’s theories on seismic activity and volcanic unrest, but the funding is about to be pulled out from under him.įrustrated, Trevor returns to his disheveled home only to find out that his nephew, Max’s son Sean (played by Josh Hutcherson), has arrived for a two-week visit.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is a fantastic family adventure.
