Journey to the Center of the Earth follows Professor Trevor, whose nephew, Sean, comes to visit. Together, they discover that Trevor's brother and Sean's father had left some notes right before his mysterious disappearance 10 years ago, and they travel to Iceland to investigate. Naturally, through various events they accidentally end up travelling to the center of the Earth where they discover a hidden underground world full of extinct animals and wonders. It is a classic story and doesn't do anything to change it up, thus becoming very predictable. This isn't necessary a bad thing but unfortunately, the film relies heavily on special effects. The problem is that the special effects are terrible and whenever they're used, they are obviously fake which breaks any sort of immersion. This leads to some awkward acting in certain scenes. You must suspend your beliefs because there are plenty of moments where the characters would have died or suffered fatal injuries but they come out completely unscathed. In the end, if you can overlook those flaws, this is a fun adventure.
