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.

Critic Reviews

Ann Hornaday

Terrific family entertainment, an action comedy on a par with "Night at the Museum" and "National Treasure." Read full review

Lou Lumenick

The most entertaining 3-D movie I've ever seen. Read full review

William Arnold

It's harmless fun, and it makes for an often impressive display of the latest generation of computer-wizardry. But the enterprise is utterly void of substance: instantly forgettable and about as enriching as a rerun of "Johnny Quest." Read full review

Richard Corliss

Neither the acting nor the story matters much here; the movie is simply the sum of its 3D effects. Read full review

David Edelstein

It would be barely passable under normal circumstances, but in 3-D it's a circus of excellent FX. Read full review

Peter Rainer

It has its modicum of suspense, and Brendon Fraser, who stars as intrepid professor Trevor Anderson – who does indeed journey to the center of the Earth – is his usual heroically affable self. Read full review

Robert Wilonsky

If the 3D here is better than average, SLIGHTLY, the rest of the movie brings it way, way down--not quite to the center of the earth, but at least a good six feet under. Read full review

Os gráficos do filme são bem diversos e coloridos, é algo incrível para o ano de 2008, cenários diferenciados, algo que prende quem está assistindo de modo a ficar ansioso para o que vem pela frente, um belo exemplo é quando Sean se perde Trevor e Hannah enfrentando vários obstáculos para no fim finalmente se encontrarem.

Como assisti esse filme há muito tempo atrás foi bom rever para fazer uma boa comparação aos filmes de Aventura de hoje, o enredo, a história, a criatividade deste filme faz mergulhar em diversos meios e universos, de elementos como fogo, terra, água e ar, com certeza um dos melhores filmes que pode ser indicado a todas as idades pela diversidade de ideias e como é agradável aos olhos.… Expand

I thought this was a great action movie. It's not a James Bond- type of action film, but it worked out well with some comedy mixed in with it. It wasn't as corny as you might expect it to be.

My advice is to sit somewhere in the middle of the theatre.… Expand

I'd would give this a 6, but 3D gave it a point up. I'd say this a really good family film. Really Good. I was expecting it to be atleast okay, because I saw the Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser, and he was good in those. This movie actually beat my expectations.

A silly movie who's plot revolves mostly on impossible cell phone reception,corny effects and bad acting. the 3-d glasses do NOT save the plot and performance of this movie.
