The 3-D effects were great from the very first moment when Professor Anderson brushes his teeth, swishes and spits right out into the audience, through thrilling explosions, slobbering gigantic T-Rex’s, roller coaster rides along a dangerous old mining track (Ala Indiana Jones), flying fish baseball, and beautiful visions like neon glowing birds in flight and wisps of puff balls blown off of giant dandelions that magically swirl off the screen and around your head. They are joined by a local mountain guide named Hannah Ásgeirsson (Anita Briem) and actually discover a passage into the very center of the Earth, just as the book, actually an Inner Planet Travel Guide, tells. The reason being, he believes that the copy of the Verne novel with mathematical equations and hidden symbols written in it’s pages by his long lost brother, tells the way to enter the craggy volcanic openings in the mountains of Iceland and literally travel to the center of the Earth. Anderson makes his way to Iceland with his nephew Sean ( Josh Hutcherson) in tow, on a 10-day exploratory expedition. Trevor Anderson ( Brendan Fraser) is an unconventional scientist who is a die hard “Vernean,” which means he is of a select group who believes Verne’s book was not speculative fiction but scientific fact. Your kids will love it, and hey, what better way to expose them to some science without them even knowing it. Now in spectacular 3-D, the 2008 version is an adventure well worth the price of admission. Somber and serious and a lot of creep-out factor compared to this new breathtaking, high-tech special effects CGI wonder.īased very loosely on the 1864 book of the same title by Jules Verne, this “Journey to the Center of the Earth” directed by Eric Brevig, Academy Award winner for visual effects (“Total Recall,” “Pearl Harbor”), wows the audience with its incredible special effects.
It had a certain odd ominous air, with its crew of explorers getting increasingly desperate in their attempt to survive.
#JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH 3D VERSION TV#
The 1959 film version of “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” with James Mason, Pat Boone, and a lot of slithery cool dinosaurs, was one of my favorite movies as a kid that finally made it to TV in living color.
