If you're thinking about heading out to the amusement park but are deterred by the scorching rays of the sun, you might want to consider going for Journey to the Center of the Earth.
You'll be in for quite a ride.
More than a good movie, Journey is a fun movie. The film speeds through like a roller coaster - which may be good or bad - and at times even feels like one. And with special 3-D effects, the movie really pulls you in.
Based on the 1864 novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth follows professor and vulcanologist Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), who - with the help of his nephew (Josh Hutcherson) and a mountain guide from Iceland (Anita Briem) - uses his missing brother's marked-up copy of Jule's Verne's book "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" (with the English spelling, you'll note) as a guidebook to enter and navigate through a subterranean "world within the world".
For those who haven't read the novel, this movie will almost certainly get you thinking about it if not to the library after the movie's ending credits.
The movie does an excellent job of bringing to life the world depicted in Verne's classic novel and takes the audience into a fantastical place filled with wonder as well as terror.
