 Rating:  - A Version of the Jules Verne Novel That Steadily Departs From the Source in Disappointing WaysThe achievements of animation in adapting this story in preceding years would continue to overshadow the resumption of live action versions in the 1980s and 1993. In early 1996, executive producer Robert Halmi, Sr., whose Hallmark Entertainment was simultaneously making a new version of 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA for CBS (which eventually formed the basis for a two-hour telefilm and a one-hour children's special the next year) announced a two-hour version of JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH ... Read More Rating:  - Dig a deep hole and bury me pleaseBury me, burn me, feed me to giant frogs, anything, ANYTHING to keep me from ever accidentally seeing this atrocity again. Prehistoric valley-cavegirls in styling mouse and sports bras, the silliest imaginable dialogs, k-mart costumes, pathetic special effects, direction so pedestrian it needs mowing down by a bus, and a script so bad it hurts the brain. PLEASE someone tell me how this can be from the same George Miller who gave us The Road Warrior? "Sleep with one eye open" the guide says. FINE, ... Read More Rating: - Indiana Jones Meets Lost World1999 version of Journey To The Center of The Earth combined from TV drama series is not the usual dramatization of Jules Vernes classic. It is a bit skewed by recent movies such as Jurassic Park series. The location of the vocano is changed from Iceland to New Zealand hidden sanctuary to Mauri tribes. What surprises us most is human-like dinosaur as a result of "parallel evolution", which in itself is intriguing idea. Verdict: Even being Jules Vernes novel fan the movies offer some surprises. ... Read More Rating: - Super WeakA friend of mine rented this. I was expecting the newest "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (2004), but was disappointed to see that it was this version. From the start with the cheesy looking title, I knew this was going to be "something special". I didn't hold the cheesy computer animation against it, but once the second half of the DVD started, it was all over. The big mess with the natives slows the movie's already molasses-like momentum to the speed of earth's continental plates, as mentioned in the ... Read More Rating:  - You CAN'T compare it with the original. Give it a chance!I'm absolutely amazed at the overwhelming number of poor reviews this movie seems to have generated. I feel strongly that this movie has a lot going for it, but to truly appreciate it, you have to begin with one thing in mind: This is NOT the Jules Verne classic! This movie is not an attempt to re-create the original story (or even the classic movie starring James Mason), so if you purchase or rent this movie believing that is what you're going to find- forget it. It seems that the majority of reviewers ... Read More |
