Cheap Journey to the Center of the Earth [Blu-ray] Discount Review Shop
Journey to the Center of the Earth was a movie I really liked as a kid. When I saw the trailer with Brendan Fraser doing the remake, then I said, "I've gotta see it!" The problem was convincing my husband and son that it would be worth watching. Finally, I found Amazon had it marked down to a reasonable price on Blu-Ray and I ran my pleas with my family one more time to snatch it while we can. My husband agreed this time, because he's so wonderfully sweet. His response was, "Sure, get it if you want." I bolted from the room and ordered.
Brendan has become one of my favorite actors ever since I saw him in The Mummy. I had no clue he was a naturally talented actor who does comedy mingled with action/adventure so well. Journey made me think a lot of his role in The Mummy and that's what really hooked me. In Journey Brendan (Trevor Andersen) is a scientist. One weekend, his late brother's wife brings his nephew for a visit and drops off some stuff for him that once belonged to his brother. Inside the possessions, he finds Jules Verne's book, Journey to the Center of the Earth, with clues written in the margin by his brother (also a scientist) which sends Trevor and his nephew off for an adventure of a life time.
If you're a Fraser fan, then I'm certain you'll enjoy this and too boot it's fairly family oriented.

"Journey to the Center of the Earth [Blu-ray]" Specifications
When a seismic geologist (Brendan Fraser) discovers his lost brother's notes in a copy of the titular Jules Verne novel, he and his nephew (Josh Hutcherson, Bridge to Terabithia, Zathura) head to Iceland. There, joined by a fetching mountain guide (played by Icelandic actress Anita Briem), they get trapped in a cavern and go down, down, down, finally arriving in a primeval underworld full of prehistoric beasts and carnivorous plants. It would be pointless to complain about the empty-headedness of it all; Journey to the Center of the Earth aspires to be a kinesthetic experience. It wants to engage your adrenal glands, not your brain or your heart (the dialogue and characters are so generic, the script may have been cut-and-pasted from previous versions of Verne's book). Fraser, with his goofy handsomeness and accessible presence, provides a reasonably human axis around which all the frantic flying and swooping CGI effects revolve. The movie is as hollow as the world it depicts, but as mindless action movies go, you could do a lot worse. (Note: Journey to the Center of the Earth was released in theaters in 3-D, full of whizz-bang demonstrations of how far 3-D technology had come--trilobite antennae quivering towards the audience, a T-rex lunging out of the frame, even affable star Brendan Fraser spitting on us--as well as a half-dozen action sequences clearly destined to become video games or theme park rides.) --Bret Fetzer

Robert's Review of Journey to the Center of the Earth - Robert G. Callison - MANASSAS, VA, US
This remake, in short, is about a man, on a quest searching for his lost brother, a Vernian (believer in the literal truth of Jules Verne's writings) who disappeared mysteriously years earlier. Accompanying him on this quest is his brother's son and the daughter of a deceased vulcanologist who also was a determined Vernian).
I have to say, this is one of Brendan Fraser's better films. He's still got a couple of cheesy moments in the film, however most of his acting was right on. The character development of characters played by Josh Hutcherson and Anita Briem was remarkable. He went from being a snobby brat to a more humane and likeable person without much character degradation. She went from a serious, practical mountain guide without much faith in her father's beliefs to an realization that both her father's and other Vernian's views have merit and truth which she sees for herself.
The film has just enough light-hearted comedic moments to balance well with the more serious ones that invite the viewer to journey out with the characters and suspend their disbelief for a time.
Big Disappointed - Chanyutt Srisamrong -
Like one another, this BD is 2D not 3D as it shows. Why AMAZON do like this. Disappointed.
Didn't look like the picture - Kevin thompson -
I ordered this movie used thinking it was the in blu-ray case that the picture showed. Got it pretty cheap too which was nice. When I got it the movie was in a hollywood video dvd case with the words "blu-ray" on it. And they stuck a blu-ray movie in the dvd case I was very mad that it came like that considering that wasn't was in the description. I contacted the seller and told them about it and they refunded my money back to my account. Lets just say I will not be buying from this seller again.
