Product Description

In the family adventure "Journey to the Center of the Earth," three adventurers plunge deep into a strange new realm beneath the Earth's surface where they embark on an amazing voyage and find awe-inspiring sites amidst grave danger.

Traveling through never-before-seen worlds, the trio comes face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable creatures--including man-eating plants, giant flying piranha, glow birds and terrifying dinosaurs from days past.

Customer Reviews

A trite story designed to show off sharp, colorful 3D

Sean (Josh Hutcherson), a rambunctious teen, receives a mysterious encoded radio message that says the island is real. He assumes this is sent by his missing grandfather (Michael Caine). Sean’s stepfather (Dwayne Johnson), who is trying to get Sean’s confidence, enables Sean to go on a fantasy sojourn. As you guessed, it has to do with a mysterious island with strange animals. One strange animal that Sean tries to cotton to is Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens, you may remember from the “Robot Chicken” TV series). Most of the story is an interaction between the characters and their interaction with the local creatures. Do not try to make sense of the film details. Just go with the flow. Enjoy the visuals, as I believe that is why the movie was made.
