Robert P @Superbad Sep 7, 2026 This was the very first movie about Journey To The Center of Earth See more Blu B @RT43513976 Nov 12, 2025 A Classic 50's Adventure. Solidly made all around and while the special effects are simple and dated at points they still are pretty clean and and hold well. You can see the care and work that went into so much of the set design and special effects. This really doesn't rely on a lot of shootouts, explosions, or over the top Uncharted like thrills to keep your attention. But really relies on scientific plausiblity and does it quite well. It's really about exploring a world never seen before with a few Indiana Jones type thrills here and there but 80% of the time it's like being a kid in your backyard exploring and feeling a sense of seeing things for the first time. I can defintely see how Vernes's work has inspired so many Scientists and Scholars throughout the centuries with his mix of science and imagination and I have a great respect for it. Masoon is really good here and the best thing with a nothing keeps him down attitude. Th whole crew is great and while none have a super layer of depth they are all memorable especially Gertrude the Duck. Odd choice for music but it does work and is distinct. If I had to fault this is that it can drag at certain points especially say in the first half. Where it really relies on just showing you cool things and exploring but doesn't do so really in a cohesive manner. Also certain scenes just go on a bit too long and aren't as engaging to look at. You can only see rocks and caverns for so long before it just starts to blend in. But it does pick up and even though I almost lost interest at certain points it did just enough to keep me going where I was drawn by another cool sight or idea. Anyone who is a fan of Golden Era adventure style flicks, the director, any actors here, or the novel should check this out.

Also Hollywood attempt to conduct a strong chick in charge movie but with a woman who is a joke. This movie should not have been made. See more Aug 18, 2024 Dated a bit now of course, but remains enjoyable. Loved this as a kid, and gotta believe the creatives behind the Raiders series were influenced by it. This and 20,000 Leagues will always be sci-fi classics. See more Deke P @RT96675217 May 3, 2024 Saw it when it first hit theaters. Fondly remember I found it fascinating and loved it.
