Summary: One of the best movies ever
Review: I just loved it, the story is fascinating, it has very good special effects and it isn't a boring science fiction movie (i hate them). It's an amazing movie with a great cast and the most important thing Jeremy London looks soooo cute!

Summary: Journey to the centre of boredom
Review: I quite enjoy Hallmark's tv series. They release remakes and adaptations of enjoyable fantasy movies and legends with a modern twist and great effects. Naturally I saw their stamp on this DVD and thought "Great!" Oh dear....what a shame.This movie tries hard to be interesting and it is watchable, but only just. Explorers searching for a missing doctor make their way to the centre of the earth and get caught up in a conflict between two prehistoric races. There is almost nothing from Jules Verne's classic story here, as has been mentioned already, but I found even for a fan of fantasy this was much less than what I expected. I think it is fair to say that Hallmark relied on the cast and title to sell the movie rather than a decent script. It's lazy, uninspired and often very dull.

Summary: what a waste of money
Review: I re-wound this movie after the first 15 minutes of poor (in some cases terrible)acting. I'm glad I only rented this one.

Summary: What an agonizing way to spend 139 minutes!
Review: I simply cannot believe the producers of this film had the nerve to call it JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH! My family and I are purists when it comes to films based on classic literature and so needless to say when we saw this video for sale we purchased it immediately sight unseen (a mistake we will not likely repeat). Expecting a delightful adaptation of a fine novel for the whole family we were horrified by the absurd handling of Jules Verne's work (shame on Hallmark). Aside from the poor acting and shallow, one dimensional and unbelievably predictable characters you have once again Hollywood's ridiculous predilection with taking the previous century's works and turning them into politically correct pablum for the superficial minds of the late twentieth century movie watcher. Rebel against the presupposition that the average viewer isn't interested in good literature being accurately adapted for the screen. Spare yourself this piece and watch one of A&E's recent great productions or one of those done by PBS or the BBC. Let this film find its way to oblivion where it belongs.

Summary: Really bad cheese.
Review: Journey to the Center of the Earth gets off to a goofy start, but manages to actually get pretty entertaining for fifty minutes as it chronicles the actual journey. The initial discovery of the underground world is awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, after those 50 minutes things manage to get absolutely horrendous. The effects look cheap, the acting is mostly amateurish, and the action scenes are sloppily made. Not to mention that the soundtrack sounds more appropriate for an episode of Beastmaster than a miniseries. Oh, and what's with the back of the box stating that this is 139 minutes long? The movie's actually 188 minutes long, nearly 50 minutes longer than it's stated! That just increases the torturous experience of watching this wretched cheese.

Summary: Journey to the Center of Stupidity
Review: Jules Verne would turn over in his grave if he saw this ... flick. This movie is an insult to die-hard Jules Verne enthusiasts. It's obvious that no one (illiterate screenwriters, director, and/or the actors) read the book. Adding a line here or there from the context doesn't do it. I don't understand how Hallmark could have sponsored such an ignorant and stupid project. Bleh!

Summary: A light fantasy
Review: Okay, this movie will definitely offend Verne purists, so if you are looking for a straight-from-text adaptation of the story, skip over this film. However, if you are like me, and have no other expectations for a made-for-tv-movie than it be enjoyable and the actors don't grate on your ears, check this movie out. I thought it was hilarious. The costumes and scenery are definitely out there and the whole story is a light-hearted fantasy. Plus, it's got two love plotlines (both with men pining for supposedly unattainable women). Sure, you know how it will end, and yes, it is not one of the most intelligent plots, but it's not boring or annoying! I thought it was sweet and humorous. Parents with kids, the special effects and dinosaurs will keep 'em entertained and you'll find it amusing enough to stay awake.

Summary: An emberassing remake of the old classic!
Review: The beginning of the movie is the only bright spot in this atrocious remake! Once they start going into the earth, it looks cool, but once they get to that village, everything plummets downhill-- FAST! The acting is passible, but the music is so bad, I wanted to throw up! The story is equally bad, and the script wasn't a great achievement either. Take my advice and skip this one. You'll be glad you did!
