    superb..........................

    this film is superb. 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth - 3-D' stars Brendan Fraser as Trevor, Josh Hutcherson as Sean and Anita Briem as Hannah, and is an adaptation of the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne.

    A science professor whose radical theories have completely tarnished his reputation, goes backpacking across Iceland with his two companions, to locate his missing brother.

    Whilst hiking up a mountain, the explorers fall into a deep pit, taking them to the 'center of the Earth.'

    As they get used to their surroundings, they find a cave that leads them deeper and deeper, down into the bowels of the planet.

    And as so they continue onwards, on a quest to find out what has happened to the scientist's missing brother, Trevor, his nephew and their mountain guide, discovers a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth.

    There they discover a bizarre landscape filled with terrifying creatures.

    Subsequently the eruption of a massive volcano causes a sudden increase in temperature, forcing the trio to make a daring escape, before the heat and other dangers can overpower them.

    Will they escape a grizzily fate...? Watch the film to find out...........

    Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3-D

    • 09 Jul 2008

    Resembling a blueprint for a theme park more than a movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth - 3-D updates Jules Verne’s classic adventure novel with a modicum of ingenuity, but only as an excuse to throw a bunch of 3D effects at the audience. Although it will be screening in 2D in cinemas not equipped with a Real D digital projector, director Eric Brevig – a former visual effects technician – seems to have looked at each and every scene as a further excuse to poke and prod...
