Journey 2 failed to meet the original film due to tired tricks, forced dialogue and jokes, and an even more implausible story. The film has some funny and exciting moments that get lost amid slow and boring stretches in the predictable storyline.
While I enjoy both Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson, they are both stuck in one- dimensional roles. Dwayne Johnson plays a stepfather trying to bond with his troubled teen stepson. He flashes his biceps, smiles, sings, crack codes, and shares insights into geologic activity.
Josh Hutcherson reprises his role as the troubled, belligerent teenager who flips his personality once they begin their big adventure where he faces challenges and pursues the girl.
Together, they find Atlantis, only to discover they must find a way off the island before it disappears. They encounter a surprise visitor, strange creatures, and harrowing challenges - this time on a mysterious island instead of the center of the earth.
I would watch the first Journey film and catch Journey 2 on video.

The Secret World of Arrietty is a emotional journey of a young borrower who begins to explore the world around here, only to risk her home and family. the movie touches both young and old in this beautiful film.
The story centers around young borrower Arrietty, who lives with her family in the floorboards of a human house. The borrowers remain hidden from humans, however, Arrietty is seen by an ill human boy Sean. They slowly develop a friendship that strengthens both of them as they prepare to face difficult challenges.
The film is visually stunning with beautiful and detailed scenery. The director moves artfully between the perspective of tiny Arrietty and young Sean. The director also emotionally captures the wonder and awe as Arrietty enters a new human world.
Secret World of Arrietty is worth seeing for its beautiful drawings, great direction, and touching story. My daughter (9) and I both recommend this film.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close was an outstanding film that highlighted the pain, suffering, and anxiety of a young boy who lost his father and struggles to keep his memory alive. The film does a great job drawing viewers into the mind and heart of the young boy.
While the film covers many difficult aspects of the young boy's struggle, including social anxiety, depression, anger, and self abuse, these scenes are covered in a touching and respectful manner. Viewers can easily relate to the wide range of emotions felt by the character.
Thomas Horn is outstanding as the young boy, who feels alone in the world after the loss of his father on 9/11. He pursues a secret quest that he believes was set up by his father. The quest dominates his life, as he struggles how to adapt to the loss of his father. His acting deserves much recognition in an amazing performance.
The other actors are excellent as well. Tom Hanks is very good as his beloved father, Sandra Bullock does great as a mother who struggles to relate to her unique son, and Max von Snydow is wonderful as "The Renter" who doesn't speak but befriends the young boy on his quest.
The director does an outstanding job of moving through a dual story of the young boy's current quest and the unveiling of the events of 9/11, which haunt the young boy as the "Worst Day". Director effectively captures that raw emotions of the characters in a difficult and touching story.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close was an outstanding film that should win many awards for the director, actor, and movie. The film is a touching drama that, despite covering painful emotions and events, provides inspiration as it highlights the strength of relationships and the human spirit.
