Viaje al corazón de la Tierra

"Journey to the Centre of the Earth", the name brings to mind one of the world's best sci fi writers. And what do the Americans do to this pearl of literature. RUIN IT! I am surprised that the Jules Verne estate don't have an automatic chance to preview all films carrying the name and say whether or not it should be shown at all. My vote for this film:

Special Effects 5 Cast 3 Plot -2

Overall average 3.4 out of 10

This movie at first looked like the simplistic movie that could be entertaining on a Saturday afternoon. One never thought it would be great, but the hope was there for a pleasant if not simple few hours.

This movie could not even achieve those simple explanations. The movie started with some good scenes and some interest. But after a bit the acting seemed to grow much worse. The creatures looked sort of like people in gorilla suits - who also seemed to be guilty of bad acting. The Plot seemed to quickly drift downward into filling up time. Awful. It is hard to imagine a movie that is not even good enough to take a nap to, but this one seems to hit that level.

Hysterically awful TV update of the classic story clearly (or hopefully) wasted most of its budget on beer, because the special effects stretch to little more than a bloke in a bizarre furry white suit and a dizzily-whizzing, chirpy female head in a bubble (which may remind Brit viewers of a certain recent Building Society Ad). And F. Murray Abraham's in it! It's less than a decade since the Oscar, for God's sake, 'F'! But its fun. GREAT fun. Watch it AFTER the pub, as I'm ashamed to say I did not, and its a classic.

complete turd, as someone already said the characters are _incredibly_ stereotyped. just WHY did they have to throw all events that made the book original and interesting out the window - and replace it with ideas they stole from a todler at a nursery.

Really from 1993?! The special effects indicate that it could be an end of 60's movie. Awful creatures. Bad "Drilling machine" that look like some enormous Phallus. The evil fish looks like some candy children eat, and the worst of all must be the effect/spiral they use to go from one scene to another. This guy should never be allowed to make any movies, unless it was meant as some bad joke.
