Plots(1)
During a scientific expedition in Iceland, visionary scientist Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and their beautiful local guide, Hannah (Anita Briem), are unexpectedly trapped in a cave from which their only escape is to go deeper and deeper into the depths of the Earth. Traveling through never-before-seen worlds, the trio comes face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable creatures - including man-eating plants, giant flying piranha, glow birds and terrifying dinosaurs from days past. The explorers soon realize that as volcanic activity increases around them, they must find a way back to the earth's surface before it is too late. (official distributor synopsis)

A nice, action-packed family film, where the roles for each character were chosen quite well. That translated into it being quite enjoyable entertainment, the kind of film you can sit through without paying too much attention and still have a good time. Occasionally, you might laugh at something, and occasionally you might hold your breath, but once it's over, you'll quickly forget about it. A nice little film that won't offend.

Brendan, Brendan... Another screwup. You'd think Jules Verne would never turn over in his grave more than after the latest adaptation of “Around the World in 80 Days”. This is just too much.

A fun silly romp for the whole family that could easily have been 4* in IMAX. And something else I noticed, Brendan Fraser isn't very convincing as a scientist. ;-)
