Journey to the Center of the Earth

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.

I liked the movie, but would like to see it developed more, maybe with more mature writers. I would like to see it turned into a series. I'm a science-fiction fan, and someday I would like to write or narrate a revised script for this movie or other movies of a similar type. I think they did pretty good for what they had to work with, but maybe could have done better with a bigger budget.

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.

I've seen many, many movies in my time. Many were very good, and many were very bad. Then there was "Journey to the Center of the Earth". Of all the films I've seen in my 21½ years of existence, I've chosen "Journey..." as the worst that I have ever seen. Okay so it was a TV movie. But still, a mess of a picture like this shouldn't be allowed to waste people's time like it did. It aired 6 years ago (on NBC) and it still lingers in my mind of how distasteful and laughably silly it was. Poor F. Murray Abraham. He went from winning an Oscar to landing a brief supporting role here. Also, I am currently trying to get "Journey..." on the IMDb "bottom 100 movies" list. Please, if you could help, vote for this film, even if you haven't seen it, and give it the biggest 1 you've ever given in your life! Please??

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.
