The star-studded Brendan Fraser stars in this children friendly adventurous and action-packed film, "Journey to the Center of the Earth." I was actually unaware until I decided to dig a little deeper... Director Eric Brevig introduced the movie to the screen, loosely based on the science fiction novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth" written by author Jules Verne. To see tubes literally leading to the center of the Earth was one of the coolest things as a child! Daft, outlandish and speedy; this movie is definitely more fun when available in 3-D.
