So I finally went and saw "Journey to the Center of the Earth"! Loved it! It was nice to see that it was really like an "inspired by the original novel" take on it, rather than a page-for-page remake. Playing in Verne's world with new characters, with nods to the original novel, and even a few of his quirks. Plus I always love Brendan Fraser. The 3d was a cool gimmick, but I don't think it really added much to the film other than a few corny gags worthy of a theme park 3d movie. If it's convenient, by all means go for it, but I wouldn't go out of your way for it. I coulda done without the love story bit. The first thing outta my mouth was "Oh, god, she can't be any older than me. Don't." *sigh* At least it was a little part of the movie that you could overlook. I loved that they got the code-breaking bit in there, the connections to Lidenbrock, and the little "if we drop this down the hole and time it" calculations that the novel was so full of. :p And the bit on the beach made me want to cry.
