journey to the center of the earth (2008)


"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the center of the Earth."
Professor Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser) is on the verge of loosing his university position, but his mind is distracted by the arrival of his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson). Sean is to spend some time with him and brings along some of his father's effects, including a book that details his last journey. A journey from which he never returned. Trevor and Sean finding some new clues, decide to try and recreate that journey. So its off to Iceland, where they engage the services of guide Hannah Ásgeirsson (Anita Briem)...
Given a modern update the story adds CGI dinosaurs and 3-D to drag the populus in to see it, but even with these efficient and well made elements, it provides no more than adequate entertainment.
