Journey to the Center of the Earth 3 of 5 Stars
Released: July 2008
On DVD: 28 October 2008
Runtime: 92 minutes
Rated: PG (intense action & scary moments)

Okay, we admit it - give us a Brendan Fraser movie and we're all over it!  His boyish good looks still carry him through his movies (he's 40 now so that really is acting)!

But Brendan is not the only thing to enjoy about this latest edition of the Journey to the Center of the Earth movies and not just because it uses one of the new 3D technologies, but because it uses 3D not for the gimmick but to help enhance the story with some very eye-catching photography.  And surprisingly the 3D works best when it is not using gimmicks that we come to expect.

Sure we have the obligatory 3D scenes like the yo-yo that is released above the heads of the audience or the flying fish but for the most part the 3D effects take a back seat to a high-flying adventure that is both fun and funny.

Fraser plays Professor Trevor Anderson who sets off with his nephew, Sean (Josh Hutcherson) to find his long-lost brother who they believe may still be alive after setting out on his own quest to find the center of the earth.  On their trek they meet up with guide Hannah Asgeirsson (Anita Briem) and accidentally fall through the earth to its very core.  Of course, true to the Jules Verne story, Anderson, Sean and Hannah meet up all manner of "lost" beasts including killer Venus Fly Traps and of course a run-in with the obligatory Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The action seldom stops as the trio must ultimately find their way out of their predicament and return topside.  From the underground railway (although this CGI effect was much better in Indiana Jones) to the final heart-pounding ride up to the surface the audience is definitely on a "e-ticket ride" (hmmmm, there's definitely a new Disney or Universal ride in the making)!

We did find the little glowing bluebird a tad contrived though and wished the tension of Sean being separated from his Uncle and their guide wasn't ruined by this special little guide.  I was so hoping that it would perhaps be eaten by the T-Rex but ultimately I guess it needed to stick around for its part in the happy ending at the conclusion of the film (it is, after all, a family film).

At 92 minutes this is definitely a quickie but that is also a blessing considering for the most part this is a kid's movie (although some of the more intense scenes did seem to upset a few of the younger set and I'm still not convinced the youngest in the audience actually got the 3D idea at all).  Fortunately, there is enough to keep adults engaged here as well even if it is just to marvel at the lush 3D landscapes.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is definitely some trivial summer fun but is a great way to spend an afternoon when you just want to escape the heat. 

Oh, and the fact Brendan Fraser is in it doesn't hurt either.  We can hardly wait for the next Mummy movie coming in August.  Two Brendan Fraser movies in one summer - at least global warming can't be blamed for all of our little pleasures in life.
