He shrugs his shoulders, says "I've no idea what this is", and puts it to one side. There's the almost obligatory mine-cart sequence, a bit with a dinosaur, and a job website with a silly name, but it's one of the smaller bits that shows Journey's class: while going through a box of his brother's possessions Trevor finds a vintage stereoscope, effectively a primitive form of 3-D.

From there on in it's a series of set pieces designed to show off the 3-D, with nods to Verne's text throughout.Īt one point or another viewers' science glands might activate, but there's enough well natured humour and lurid B-Movie intensity here that even relatively large quantities of factazine aren't enough to completely remove suspension of disbelief. That aside, there's a hole for them to fall into, and they do so. The duo are accompanied by Mountain guide Hannah Sgeirsson, played by Anita Briem who really ought to be Hannah Sigurbjrnsdottir, as Iceland actually uses proper patronymics.

This devotion only stretches so far and his lab is about to be shut down to be turned into a storage room. This is an unashamed thrill ride of a movie, loosely based on Jules Verne's oft-filmed Journey To The Centre Of The Earth with a set of standard Hollywood stories and a range of moments designed to show off its 3-D technology.īrendan Fraser is Trevor Anderson, a professor of geology at a university so devoted to his subject that it's got a class on Plate Tectonics (and Plate Tectonics alone).
