Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D

‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ is the first film live action film that uses the new digital three-dimensional technology. The film is an optical tour de force, but lamentably that visual experience does not manage to incorporate the same satisfaction to a story with a duration of an hour and a half. Based on a novel of Jules Bern that captivated the imagination of readers in 1864, ‘JTTCOTE’ feels more like a sequel of the novel and not a direct adaptation of original story.

 

The professor of geology Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), and their 13 year old nephew (Josh Hutcherson), travel to Iceland in search of a volcano that is acting up in a very unusual way. With the aid of Hannah (Anita Briem), an attractive mountain climber, they find their objective, but accidentally fall in a hollow path that leaves them in center of the Earth. What ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ accentuates is how the technology ends up dictating the script. In this case, the three-dimensional sequences are the main attraction, and therefore, it debilitates the story. Don’t expect too much from the protagonists either. Usually, these type of films offer high doses of special effects and nothing else. The film’s stars are only a secondary feature to the already charged up VFX.

 

This type of film strictly is done for the entertainment of the public and not  for the Oscar committee. If you’re looking for a delightful time with the family, ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ will satisfy all your demands.

First, the good news:  Jodie Foster can play comedy.  As agoraphobic, obsessive compulsive action novelist Alexandra Rover in “Nim’s Island,” an adaptation by Joseph Kwong, Paula Mazur, and co-directors Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett of Wendy Orr’s eponymous novel, Foster is both funny and convincing.  At physical comedy she approaches Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett.  “Nim’s Island” should earn Foster her fifth Oscar nomination.
 
Now the bad news:  The screenplay does not do justice to the performances.  Rather than show the idyllic love between 11-year-old prodigy Nim Rusoe (Abigail Breslin), her dad Jack (a scientist, the other half of Butler’s dual role), and their menagerie of almost-human animals on an uncharted island, the screenplay hammers it home.  Every scene between Breslin and Butler fairly oozes saccharine.
 
Plot centers on the unlikely convergence of a monsoon, which maroons Jack in mid ocean, the chance discovery of the island by a cruise ship crew who resemble modern day pirates, and Alexandra “Alex” Rover’s writer’s block.  With Jack gone, Nim reads his emails and answers one from Alex, her favorite novelist.  An email relationship develops almost overnight.  There’s a catch.  Nim believes that Alex Rover, the author, is the swashbuckling, Indiana Jones – style adventurer of novels.  Nim does not know that ‘he” is a “she,” let alone a nutcase.  With her island about to be invaded by tourists and her dad in danger, Nim begs Alex to travel half-way around the world to come to her aid.
 
Challenged to overcome her fears, Alexandra’s inner conflict, played out with her alter ego, brings out just about every agoraphobic, obsessive compulsive joke that one can imagine, and Foster plays them to the hilt.
 
When the chips are down, Nim and Jack resort to the Mr. Wizardry that endeared the “MacGyver” TV show to a generation of kids.  His mast broken by the monsoon, his boat leaking, Jack rigs a pump and fashions a propeller, turning his sailboat into an airboat.  Nim enlists Selkie the sea lion to pass noxious gas near the tourists’ launch.  She then catapults lizards onto their faces on the beach.  Finally, she fakes a volcanic eruption – and gets a real one – to scare off the cruise ship crowd.
 
Expect PG-rated “Nim’s Island” to fare well with kids and fans of the novel.
