Category: EnglishDefinitely one of the movies you should be watching to reminisce about the sci-fi movies of old. The movie follows a basic plot line where a professor makes way to the center of the earth aided by a student, a big Icelandic man & a widow. They follow the trial left by an old scientist who believed he had discovered the center of the earth and that "Atlantis" was in fact real. The movie of course is an adaptation of Jules Verne' classic novel.
The performances are top notch although the professor is definitely the most annoying person I've seen (even more than Zachary Smith from Lost in Space). Even though he's the good guy, he's annoying as fuck. But there's an awesome duck named Gertrude to make up for that...
Recommendation level: 2/5. The movie is a bit long but has it's own charm, take a look if you like old sci-fi movies, but then again perhaps that's not everyone's cup of tea.
I saw the remake of this, the recent one. Was pretty good if your into kid adventure movies (which I am) so I liked it : P
ReplyDeleteFortunately I haven't seen the 2008 one but from what I read there's a greater ode to Verne in it.
