Product Description

Amazon.com
When a seismic geologist (Brendan Fraser) discovers his lost brother's notes in a copy of the titular Jules Verne novel, he and his nephew (Josh Hutcherson, Bridge to Terabithia, Zathura) head to Iceland. There, joined by a fetching mountain guide (played by Icelandic actress Anita Briem), they get trapped in a cavern and go down, down, down, finally arriving in a primeval underworld full of prehistoric beasts and carnivorous plants. It would be pointless to complain about the empty-headedness of it all; Journey to the Center of the Earth aspires to be a kinesthetic experience. It wants to engage your adrenal glands, not your brain or your heart (the dialogue and characters are so generic, the script may have been cut-and-pasted from previous versions of Verne's book). Fraser, with his goofy handsomeness and accessible presence, provides a reasonably human axis around which all the frantic flying and swooping CGI effects revolve. The movie is as hollow as the world it depicts, but as mindless action movies go, you could do a lot worse. (Note: Journey to the Center of the Earth was released in theaters in 3-D, full of whizz-bang demonstrations of how far 3-D technology had come--trilobite antennae quivering towards the audience, a T-rex lunging out of the frame, even affable star Brendan Fraser spitting on us--as well as a half-dozen action sequences clearly destined to become video games or theme park rides.) --Bret Fetzer

 Fun...... March 2, 2010
Michael Cavenaugh (Bakersfield, CA USA)
There is no beating the original. With thatbeing said and the producers of this version probably realizing the same thing, this story was approach from a different tangent. Kids will love this movie. I watched it all of the way through even with the goofy 3D glasses....
 amazon disappoints me for once. February 15, 2010
J. Buxton (Sevierville, TN USA)
VERY disappointed when i received a 2D version instead of 3D. SHAME on amazon for steering their customers in the wrong direction. oh well i guess, i enjoy the movie anyways. i'll just get the 3D later. 5 for the movie 0 on amazon.
 Good movie for the whole family January 29, 2010
D. Helton
Good clean story, lots of action, good special effects, funny, overall an enjoyable one to add to your movie library.
It says 2D people... READ! January 15, 2010
Jonathan Manley (SFV)
The description says, "PRODUCT ALERT: Early shipments of Journey to the Center of the Earth were both 3-D and 2-D, but current copies are 2-D only"! Make sure you read everything.
They will not be releasing it in 3D again. You'll have to fork out a few extra bucks on eBay if you want it. The 3D feature was a limited promo.
Great kids movies 3D but Amazon has wrong description. December 23, 2009
Andreas Alexandrakis (FLUSHING, NY USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I ordered this from Amazon and twice they sent me the 2d version only..
After the second time I spoke to a Rep and he stated that after further investigation,
Amazon only has the 2d version of this movie and when they get in the 3d Version they will
send out e-mails to the costumers who called in and will allow you to repurc hase the correct one..
That is nice but STILL the wrong description is on their web site, they should at least correct that instead of
steering new costumers in the wrong direction.
Finaly I purchased the 3d version from Wal-mart and they also sent me the wrong disk 2d only but they quickly overnighted the correct one to me the 3d version.
All in all the kids love the 2d version and the 3D version on my 60" screen projection Tv.
