Summary: Don't expect Indiana Jones, but still an okay movie
Comment: Firstly, I did not watch this in 3-d which might have improved my rating from a three star to a possible three and a half star. Brenden Frasier lacks some of his charm in this movie; the lines seemed to be flatly delivered. His co stars are okay, not exactly memorable but not how-did-they-get-the-part bad. What I did find enjoyable was the basic story of getting lost in the depths of the earth, finding all kinds of weird things there and the struggle to escape. I particularly liked the crazy flying fish scene and imagine that it would have been cool to watch in 3-D. The dialogue is lacking but the thrills make up for it.

Summary: Good movie but the 3D sucks in a regular TV .....
Comment: The movie is fun but its suppose to be the 3D version DVD but on my TV looks horrible ..... Buy the regular version instead.

Summary: Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
Comment: After watching this movie in 3D, I doubt I would purchase another 3D DVD as I found the 3D effect would sometimes disappear if I moved my head slightly. The 3D effect didn't work as well as I had expected. The movie itself was fun to watch. My suggestion would be to watch the 2D version.

Summary: Fraser's continued downward spiral.
Comment: First The Mummy 3 and now this atrocity.
Is Fraser even bothering to read the script before he accepts a role?
My guess would be no.

I'll make this short and sweet.
I never saw the film in the theater which if I believe the majority of people on Amazon....the theater version was pretty awesome.
Now, I remember the stupid 3d glasses from when I was a kid and I was really expecting the home version to be a step up from what I had as a kid.
Right?
WRONG!!!
The same old blue/red.
Magneta/green.........WHAT EVER!!!
It still doesn't work and considering I had already had "a few", the glasses came off after ten minutes.
I thought I was going to barf.
So then I flipped the disc and watched the regular version.
Yawn,boring, etc....

The story is boring and mediocre at best.
The kid is annoying.
Fraser is annoying.
The stupid blond is annoying.

The fx are pathetic. The T-Rex doesn't even look as good as the one from Jurassic Park, and HOW long ago was that movie made?
With a budget this big there's no excuse for sloppy fx but sadly that's all we got with this movie.

Let's get back to the story, LOL sorry.....what story.
Fraser and Co. fall through ground, get chased by big dino thingys, shed a few well placed tears here and there and go home.
Yippee!!!

The acting was....ok.
Fraser continues to scream his lines for reasons that defy logic.
Like I said the kid was an obnoxious, mouthy brat.
The blond tour guide was of course only there because every good adventure needs a third wheel, brain, sexy blond for the main character to go ga ga over and rescue five thousand times.

So what was good?
Um......it's watchable.
It's just really and I mean REALLY DULL!!!
Other reviewers have stated that the whole movie was done to show off what they can do with 3d in the theaters.
I have to agree.
Too bad they can't do the same with home use.

Do I recommend this movie?
For jaded, action vets?
Probably not.
For kids who won't know any better?
Probably not, aren't our kids being dummied down enough by our public school system?
Why add even more nonsense to their heads.
Two stars for a boring but watchable Fraser scream fest.
