Plots(1)
During a scientific expedition in Iceland, visionary scientist Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and their beautiful local guide, Hannah (Anita Briem), are unexpectedly trapped in a cave from which their only escape is to go deeper and deeper into the depths of the Earth. Traveling through never-before-seen worlds, the trio comes face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable creatures - including man-eating plants, giant flying piranha, glow birds and terrifying dinosaurs from days past. The explorers soon realize that as volcanic activity increases around them, they must find a way back to the earth's surface before it is too late. (official distributor synopsis)

A fun silly romp for the whole family that could easily have been 4* in IMAX. And something else I noticed, Brendan Fraser isn't very convincing as a scientist. ;-)

Brendan, Brendan... Another screwup. You'd think Jules Verne would never turn over in his grave more than after the latest adaptation of “Around the World in 80 Days”. This is just too much.

Such a nice, action-packed family movie, where the roles for individual characters were chosen quite well. This was reflected in the fact that it is quite a decent entertainment, the kind of film you can just sit and not pay much attention to. Every now and then you might laugh at something, every now and then you might hold your breath, but when it's over, you will quickly forget about it. A nice little snack that is inoffensive.
