    Journey to the Center of the Earth opens with an introduction to adventurer / explorer Jonathan Brock and his nephew Abel. While Abel is a bookish guy with an interest in becoming a journalist, his uncle is far more action-oriented. Jonathan resorts to pick-up rounds of boxing to...( read more) earn money for his exploits. A wealthy and married heiress named Martha Dennison seeks Jonathan out for his assistance in finding her husband, Edward, who has gone missing in an expedition to Alaska. Jonathan and Abel agree to help her and journey to Alaska, where they befriend a Russian guide named Sergei whose own brother also disappeared in Edward's expedition. Together, the foursome have an adventurous quest in pursuit of Edward's expedition that takes them, you guessed it, to the center of the Earth. While the performances are good, the production does suffer from cheapness. The bluish pall over everything in the Alaska scenes may have been a creative decision to contrast the strange brightness of the underground world, but it just seemed too dark; lighting was also problematic in scenes set in a mountainside mine. Journey to the Center of the Earth is that it's a family friendly television production that actually works for what it is.

    Movie was okay but suffered from a very very bad last 30 minutes. Peter Fonda is america's worst actor.

    Utterly crap film ? cant even begin on the production side. Ricky Schroder was good in places as is in small screen and feature s since I was a lad but was limmited ever so much.

    Only a little mention for the cinima-scapes lifting it at all that are worth seeing, the rest should...( read more) be visually averted.
