A Fun Family Trip

Brendan Fraser, Anita Briem and Josh Hutcherson go deep in the relatively entertaining tale "Journey To The Center Of The Earth." This version of "Journey" is not a remake nor is it an adaptation of the Jules Verne adventure that some many other films have been based on. In this particular tale, Fraser plays a seismic geologist named Trevor Anderson who is losing students and his brother's memorial research center at the university where he teaches and does research.

The best adaptation of the book so far
