The movie itself was really good in my opinion. Absolutely unbelievable and wonderfully strange. I love Brendan Fraser as an actor, and he portrayed quite a good role mode in this movie for young kids. There are a few scenes that kept me on the edge of my seat but might scare litttle kids, such as the one's where dinosaurs were involved, but I can truly say I enjoyed watching the movie.

Really Funny and Educational
This was really good, and VERY pretty. We watched it in science because we were learning about all that stuff (though quoted by teacher: its unlikely thats all down there) it was pretty funny. The two boys were once questioning who had 'dibs' on Hannah (mountain guide) because she was attractive, she heard them arguing and kept shouting "Guys!" until they stopped, and then she said "No one gets dibs on the mountain guide" -she's also from Iceland. It was all really funny though they nearly died many times, just trying to survive and get out. It was all really amazing. It was sad when Shaun learned his dad died because of the extreme heat down there (body announced, not shown) it was pretty sad, and I got goosebumps during parts of the movie. The scary things are the active situations they get caught in, deadly fish, and a T-Rex, otherwise I think your kids could watch it :)

This isn't one of the best movies, but it's a good family movie that must be seen in 3D. I enjoyed it, but it's not good enough to buy on DVD, in my opinion.

Disappointing adaptation/remake with underwhelming 3-D, performances
Brendan Fraser is known best for his roles in the Mummy movies, but latley he's been trying his best with family roles. Journey to the Center of the Earth was his first attempt at a family movie, and he didn't exactly nail it. To put up a good performance in a remake (or adaptation) isn't the toughest thing to do. But Brendan Fraser makes it seem so hard. It's not entirely his fault though. You can also blame the lousy 3-D visuals, bland co-performances from Josh Hutcherson and Anita Breim, and a bad script (while tumbling down a crevasse at zap-fast speed, Fraser screams, "We're still falling! Can anyone say lame?). Content issues are few, and there limited to a few gross-out scenes and woman ogling from a 12 year-old. Journey to the Center of the Eatth definetly has some thrilling scenes, but with all the mediocity served up here, there are plenty of better choices to choose. If you like Brendan Fraser, stick with the first two Mummy movies.

This was a cool movie!!
There was scary fish. One of my favorite parts was the dinosaur, his slobber was funny. There was even underwater dinosaurs. I mostly liked how they used the dinosaur to escape. That part was was really exciting. I think lots of other people would like this movie, but maybe not girls and Grandmas.
