LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

invisibleunicornninja A few years ago my mom borrowed this movie from the library claiming that it was entertaining. It is not. Do not watch this movie. It is terrible. Characters - I have no clue if there were actually characters in this movie. A more accurate description would be "a couple of people were asked to read lines, and walk across poorly designed greenscreens in an effort to get people to call them actors." Take it from me, no one on the cast of this movie cared enough to even attempt a convincing performance. The script was pretty bad, but still. Plot - This movie is mostly boring filler. There is a plot, but there are no stakes to it and it doesn't help that most of the human beings shown onscreen are too dumb to breathe. Sights and Sounds - Nothing in this movie that doesn't take place on the surface looks real - and even then there is still some unconvincing CG above ground. Maybe this movie looked good in theaters - I don't know - but most people aren't going to see this movie in theaters seeing as how this movie was released 10 years ago (more depending on when you're reading this review). If the only thing that your movie has to offer is that it looks kinda cool in 3D on a big screen, then you have failed. The sound mixing is also pretty bad. Message - True, I might not have been paying too much attention by the end (the only reason I watch this movie all the way through was because I was bribed) but I'm pretty sure the end message was that lying and stealing is good. The "protagonists" lie and steal all throughout the movie, and in the end they come out on top. Great message for the kids to learn.

sarkestuartjackmgrath The reviewers of "Journey" are probably all correct: the logic is spotty, the premise is silly, and the requirement of the audience to suspend disbelief is beyond a typically successful film. However, despite all of that, I liked it! I saw this on a flight from America to England. So in a way I was a captive audience.Brendan Fraser has always been a great actor, in my opinion. The supporting cast (and there wasn't much of them, as it was mostly CGI stuff, and not really populated with many humans, except for brief appearances) was also adequate, albeit they had little to do.Overall, then, this was science fiction with an emphasis on the "fiction." Little here was even remotely believable. Yet taken together, it made an interesting visual contemplation of "what if?this is a kids' movie. If you're an adult and you saw the previews with some genuinely- scary looking scenes and thought, "Wow, this looks cool" - be warned. Some of it is cool, but most of it isn't.

stevenwrodgers If you like cartoons and sci-fi, you'll probably like this. I must admit it was entertaining, but they lost me at the point that the boy received a cell phone call from 3,000 miles below the surface of the earth! I can't even get a signal from my own basement, 2 miles from the nearest tower! Notwithstanding, it is similar to many blockbusters, in which the main characters go through numerous near-death experiences that would kill any normal human being 10 times over, yet they all come out relatively unscathed. The inevitable romance between the girl and the scientist is obvious from the beginning of their journey, but.... If you can suspend disbelief for two hours, especially if you have 3-D, it could be an enjoyable experience.

craig-hopton I watched this with my wife and although we enjoyed it, it's really more of a family movie. Packed full of action but nothing too frightening or violent. It'd make for a perfect family Saturday viewing.It's loosely based on the Jules Verne sci-fi novel but don't expect a nuanced science fiction plot line. The focus here is all on the spectacular, indeed completely over-the-top, effects and action scenes.It's easy viewing, but not all that exciting. The characters never feel like (or act like) they're in that much danger even though they're buried deep under the earth with little chance of escape. Can't be too critical though. This movie doesn't pretend to be any more than what it is - a light-hearted family thriller.
