Blu-ray movie review of Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth

Fans of Jules Verne novels might be disappointed with this effort. People expecting a great translation of Verne classic might not like what they see. However, if you are looking for a thrilling blockbuster movie. this is decent pop corn inducing flick to waste few hours.

Trevor Anderson played by Brendon Fraser is a professor of geology, whose brother disappeared 10 years ago. The duo ran a scientific lab that's being threatened with budget cuts, and during a visit of his nephew, Sam played by Josh Hutcherson, the sensors placed in Iceland alerts them to some activity. The two of them head to Iceland to investigate the activity.

They meet up with a guide, Hannah played by Anita Briem, who takes them up the mountain near the sensors. This is where the fun or adventure begin. The cave gives in and they are trapped. They head deeper into cave and find that Verne's account was not just a fiction but in fact a true description.

The actors did a reasonable job with the CGI background and CGI monsters and animals. I think they tried too hard to make this into a 3-D film. Have you watched any GOOD movie that's done in 3-D? It would have been a fun movie without trying to make this into 3-D film. If you happened to catch it in theater with 3-D glasses, it might have added little more enjoyment. Otherwise, the Blu-ray edition includes the 3-D as well as the 2-D version.
