Journey to the Center of the Earth
Rent & Buy
On a quest to find out what happened to his missing brother, a scientist, his nephew and their mountain guide discover a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth.
What critics thought
A mixed-bag family adventure that critics found shallow but cheerfully self-aware, the film's reception hinged almost entirely on format: the 3-D experience was seen as the real product, with the story and script as thin scaffolding around it. Younger audiences embraced it far more warmly than critics did.
“This is a fairly bad movie, and yet at the same time maybe about as good as it could be. There may not be an 8-year-old alive who would not love it.”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“Remove a star from the rating if you take this Journey without wearing 3-D glasses. That's where the real fun comes in.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“Journey is just the new version of a 1950s comin'-at-ya roller coaster, with a tape measure, trilobite antennae, and giant snapping piranha thrust at the audience.”
