Ten years after Professor Trevor Anderson’s brother disappeared, his lab is about to be shut down, meaning his and his brother’s life’s work would be in vain. When Trevor’s nephew, Sean, comes to visit with a few of his father’s old things, the two of them discover the missing piece to his work, and it leads them into an exotic underworld filled with dinosaurs, floating magnetic rocks, underground oceans, glowing birds, and an attractive and charming Icelandic guide named Hannah. This is the first digital 3D movie ever, and what better story to tell than Jules Verne’s classic tale, Journey to the Center of the Earth? The film is masterfully done. The story is thrilling, the characters are lovable, the acting and writing are top-notch, and the story as a whole is a great modern revamp of an old classic. If you get a chance, see this in 3D. The cinematography and scenery, which is already spectacular, will simply blow you away.
I’m giving this film 4½ stars for its overall excellence.

It is nice to see Brendan Fraser back on the screen - and in two movies this year, no less. I might add this to my viewing list after reading your review (and seeing the cool trailer)
