Brendan Fraser is a scientist who's brother went missing eleven years ago searching for the fabled land underneath that Verne talks about in his novel. And it's not a planned expedition from the Icelandic volcano into the earth's bowels, the travelers sort of stumble into things. Instead what you'll see is something like an Indiana Jones film with the intrepid explorers just facing the unknown. The classic old version from my childhood with James Mason, Arlene Dahl, and Pat Boone set during the 19th century in Verne's time is not anything you'll recognize here. It's a great fun ride nonetheless.The new remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth is one far cry from Jules Verne's original novel. Josh Hutcherson is pretty good, but Anita Briem is kind of cold. Brendan Fraser is the same guy as 'The Mummy'. So Hannah, Sean, and Trevor follow the trail to an unbelievable underground world.įorget about the science, this is a simple fantasy amusement park ride. Max and the dead scientist both believe in the reality of Jules Verne's book. Once in Iceland, they find Hannah (Anita Briem) who is the daughter of a deceased scientist.
There he finds the Jules Verne book 'A Journey to the Center of the Earth' which Trevor and Sean follow in the track of Max. His nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) is spending 10 days with him while Sean's mother is preparing to move to Canada. The university is about to clear Max's lab for storage. It's been ten years since professor Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser)'s brother Max been missing.

But try and apply that to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea or From the Earth to the Moon and you might run into trouble. The notion that the Verne novels were not speculative fiction, but actual fact is an interesting one. One piece of silliness from the first film was the pet goose that the Mason expedition carried along and the nasty end it met is eliminated. Best scene is one where Holloway gets separated from the others and in eluding a very large T-Rex, gets some T-Rex drool on his person.Ī lot of what was in the first film is here, though not necessarily in that order. Josh Holloway brings his father's copy of the Verne novel with all kinds of notations which lead them to Briem who just happens to be a guide and who takes them up the side of the volcano Verne wrote about.īut as I said, the three of them sort of stumble into the path to the center of the earth and then the next hour or so is like an Indiana Jones film with some Jurassic Park tossed in. He and Anita Briem's father were Vernists, apparently folks out there who believe that what Verne wrote about has some basis in fact.Īt the same time he's contemplating a trip to Iceland, his sister-in-law dumps his late brother's kid on him who's all of thirteen.
