Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D
This adventure tale, based upon a Jules Verne Sci-Fi classic story, stars hunky Brendan Fraser as Trevor Anderson, a wacky college professor/volcanologist who is about to lose his lab and classes due to lack of interest. He hopes to one day prove the work of his late bro Max who was into a hollow earth theory. Suddenly teen-sitting his 13-year-old nephew Sean(Josh Hutcherson), Trevor, with Sean's help, notices that certain seismic disturbances all over the earth mirror the exact conditions ten years before when Max disappeared. It's off to Iceland to check out the disturbances at an isolated station where hot mountain guide Hannah (Anita Briem) offers to lead the guys to the last of Max's seismic sensors...waaaay up the mountain. Of course the trio falls down a volcanic tube and discovers.....uh, the center of the earth!! Now, how do they get home?
Video/Audio: You get one DVD disc to flip over. One side has the 2-D "regular" movie and the other the 3-D version with four 3-D glasses for you and your buds included. The 2-D picture is really clean and clear, great details and colors. The 3D is fun as well although I prefer the 3D version you get in theaters with gray polarized lenses instead of the standard TV requirement; glasses with one blue and one red lens. Stuff pops out at you well and backgrounds stay pretty clear. Audio is Dolby Digital and will attack all of your speakers; nice bass sounds with things blowing up, growling, gurgling etc. coming through great.
