Journey to the Center of the Earth Review...almost 3D

Journey to the Center of the Earth Review
This movie is not for grown ups. That being said it was an OK movie that I could see children around the age 8-10 really enjoying. I enjoyed it myself, but I wish that I could have enjoyed it much more. The story line has so many loopholes and at some points bad filmography. At one point they all leave their backpacks and in the next scene around the corner they all have them again...odd. Also, many of the things that happen are not even plausible by any standards (i.e. falling straight down in a cave for well over a mile and then landing in water and being ok). You get the idea. We all get a good amount of Brendan Frasier and his one liners, so if you are not a Brendan Frasier fan I wouldn't watch this movie. I however, have enjoyed his other movies like the Mummy and George of the Jungle (you can make fun of me later) so it wasn't too bad to hear all of the one liners. I know that some will say that this is a fantasy movie so it doesn't need to be believable and while this is mostly true, they could have pulled this one off to be more believable and it was very disappointing that they didn't. We didn't have the 3D glasses and I wish that we would have because it is obvious that they made it to be that way with the scenery and effects. In summary, watch it in 3D and if you can't, don't say I didn't warn you about the rest. The 3D is what really would have made this movie and unfortunately not the story line. 3/5.
