Journey To The Center Of The Earth (DVD)












Journey To The Center Of The Earth

It’s a cool concept when you can combine action/adventure with a little comedy. It’s another thing to make it family friendly without making the film really cheesy. Journey To The Center Of The Earth is all of the above (except the cheesy part). It’s got action, comedy, and it is a family film. Brendan Fraser stars here as Trevor Anderson, a quirky professor that takes his nephew Sean in search of the underground world referenced in Jules Verne’s novel. On their journey, they are accompanied by a “tour guide” named Hannah. The three of them had no idea what they were about to encounter, like fighting off fierce piranhas and getting chased by a huge dinosaur! At some parts, the movie felt like being in one a ride at Universal Studios. This experience was enhanced by the option to watch it in 3-D (glasses included). Another fun feature on the DVD was an interactive game called Adventure at the Center of the Earth Challenge. Here you get to use your remote control to steer a mine car ride and fight those pesky piranhas from the movie. Overall, it’s a DVD that adults can enjoy... but kids will probably have more fun with it.
