Saw Journey to the Centre of the Earth, starring a forgettable plotline, the death of science from multiple stab wounds, and Brendan Fraser's ripped shirt.

Not to mention truly awful special effects. There's a difference between "homage the award-winning-for-their-time effects from the 1959 version" and "update them just enough to not be a homage, but not enough to actually look even plausibly realistic".

Also - descending underground (via a straight fall) in Iceland, spending a couple of days (less than 10) wandering around tunnels on foot and a few hours or so being blown along on a raft, and then managing to exit (straight up) in Italy? Can we add 'abuse of geography' to the charges, along with 'biospheres don't work that way', 'especially subterranean biospheres with wildly variable temperatures', 'evolutionary pressures don't work that way', 'I don't think tyrannosaurs ran almost exactly as fast as geology professors', and 'that must have been the world's FREAKIEST magnetic anomaly, not to mention rock composition'?
