I have always tried to figure out why people pan a film simply because it was "not like the book".
I agree this mini-series is not as true to Verne's vision as other movies BUT it is an excellent introduction to Vernes & the late 19th century for students.
I have used this movie in my 9th grade World History classes & my students absolutely LOVE it. Over 3 weeks we watch the film track their progress on a map & keep track of the various modes of transportation that the main characters use.
We also discuss the role of Britian as an imperialist power & the growing importance of the US in the world.
I suggest this film for teachers & for families with middle school aged children. A great film!!
