Comete o pecado de desperdiçar o livro de um dos pais da ficção científica ao julgar, equivocada e ironicamente, que este não deveria ter muita importância diante do brilho fugaz da tecnologia.

Consensus: Modern visuals and an old fasioned storyline make this family adventure/comedy a fast-paced, kitschy ride.

If you're under eight and never saw "Land of the Lost" on TV, maybe...

The 3D fluff will certainly provide an ooh- & aah-worthy babysitter for the small fries, but I wish there had been a cleverer script that would have allowed junior's mum and dad to enjoy it just as much.
07/12/08
Even without 3D at the screening I attended, some scenes in 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' caused audience members to squeal with excitement.
07/12/08
Seems more like a theme-park ride than a movie.
07/12/08
My Dinner With Andre and The English Patient need 3D treatment. They may be classics, but if 3D can get me to jump, duck and chuckle like a 5-year-old with clown glasses on through a mediocre film like this, maybe it's time to branch out.

One worth your time if you can see it the way it was intended to be viewed by audiences (with stuff flying off the screen at your head!)
07/11/08
Journey to the Center of the Earth isn't playing in 3-D in every theater, but that's the only way to see it. Even then you have to wait until the last half-hour for the good stuff.

Fraser does his Mummy best to save us from the true disaster--the script.
07/11/08
In 3D, it's a knockout -- you'll think you've experienced the greatest tooth-brushing scene in movie history.
07/11/08
Perfectly charming as well as predictably eye-popping.
07/11/08
Top CriticFlat and predictable, though the visuals are often striking.
07/11/08
Top CriticThis dumbed-down spin on Jules Verne's classic adventure tale was devised as a kid-friendly roller-coaster ride, and it delivers the goods. Whether anyone over the age of eight wants the goods is another matter altogether.
07/11/08
If 3D is indeed the future of movies, we're going to need something more substantial than Journey to the Center of the Earth to convince us.
07/11/08
If, at this moment, the child next to you grabs your arm and hollers "Duck!", the movie will have been worth the ticket price.
07/11/08
It's mostly for videogame fans who wish movies were more like videogames.
07/11/08
The absence of star charisma in Journey denies the audience some focus in a movie that keeps changing backdrops and is ultimately no more than the sum of its wild-eyed parts.
07/11/08
It's harmless fun, and it makes for an often impressive display of the latest generation of computer-wizardry.
07/11/08
Journey shows that Brevig knows exactly what visual effects can do -- and more important, what they can't.
07/11/08
Plot, dialogue and acting are buried beneath a visual barrage that may stimulate children but dizzy adults.
