"Hey Nick, fancy a trip to the cinema?"
"Sure, what are we going to see?"
"Journey to the Centre of the Earth!"
"... okay*."
*At this point here I should have gone with my gut instinct, which said "But I saw the trailer and it looks awful." Live and learn.

Did you see it in 'Startling 3D' ?

Yes. It is the only redeeming feature. The 3D is very well done.
As for everything else, it is one of the worst movies I have ever paid money to watch at the cinema*. Seriously. Actually, it is the most badly written movie I have ever seen. Pick up the Verne novel instead. It costs a third of the price of a cinema ticket and provides hours of fine entertainment. It's also stonkingly well written and enthralling throughout.

*And it cost £2 more as it's in 3D

Actually, it is the most badly written movie I have ever seen. Considering some of the movies that you have seen that is well and truly saying something. I think this is one I will definitely give a miss too. (Not that I had been possessed of much inclination to go see it anyway....) Karl |

Luckily, a couple of beers and the viewing of some tosh movies obliterated the memory.

It is my opinion that Hollywood doesn't know how to make films nowadays. They usually seem to put the special effects at the top of their list of priorities and the script right at the bottom. One such remake of a film that falls into this catagory is the recent War of the Worlds film starring Tom Cruise. That was absolutely painful to watch. The original fifties film had a hero who tried his hardest to defeat the alien menace but the recent one had a bloke (Tom Cruise in this case) who did nothing but spend the entire film running away. The scene at the beggining where the aliens were shooting to the left of Tom Cruise, to the right of Tom Cruise, behind Tom Cruise and in front of Cruise but never actually hitting him looked like something that had been nicked from a Warner Bros. cartoon.

Was it as bad as War of the Worlds?? It was worse, by an order of magnitude I am scarcely able to quantify. In all honesty, if I wasn't with company (poor hapless Nick) I would have walked out long before the end. The cinema crowd were initially enthusiastic (lots of "ooooo ahhhhh!" when 3D things popped off screen) but was pretty dead by half-way through. Even the kid sitting behind us who had showed signs of talking all the way through the film fell silent. Put it this way: this is a film which had a T-Rex attack in fairly convincing 3-D yet was still dull as dishwater. Brendan Fraser, by no means a great actor but a very watchable one on form, looked bored throughout. -Ralph |
