One of my all time favorites.

i must have seen a different film!!

Admirable film.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is one embarrassment of a movie. The dialog, the acting, the special effects and props. Bad bad bad.I would love to know the back story about getting it released. What were they thinking? Maybe someone needed a tax write off. I can't imagine any other reason that it made it past two days of production, and certainly not to release..When I saw them using a vegetable steamer as a prop radio antenna, I was so amused I added another star, just for the hilarious factor. Oh, and this movie subscribes to the theory that glasses mean you are SMART (even if they are prop glasses with no corrections).Be sure to read the reviews, which are much more entertaining than the movie. Maybe watch this with friends and do your own Mystery Science Theater 3000 thing. A few margaritas won't hurt. Steam some veggies.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH theasylum.cc w/ Greg Evigan & Dedee Pfeiffer Sooo, This is a good movie(period). I've enjoyed a lot of films from Theasylum peoples and this one seems to raise the bar, Congrats. The special effects are amazing , Thanks to the co-directors being Special Effects Gods behind Tiny Juggernaut. The cast is really something for a film ,You would have ill-thought guesses about.Greg Evigan is perfect for his heroic turn and never looked better in action. Dedee Pfeiffer steals the humorous lines with a passion , She could do much more with another script like this one. The two sets we are to believe in worked, The stuff on the burrowing vehicle just plain flowed and the team at Center Of Earth made you not even miss a male touch .The monsters were strong and REAL, Truly works of art to this Sci-Fi eye !

Journey to the Center of the Earth starts as six hard as nails teenage female marines are selected for some top secret US Army experiment, using a particle transporter of some sort they are being beamed instantly from a location in California to Stuttgart in Germany through the center of the Earth for reasons never explained. Unfortunately things go wrong & instead of just passing through the center of the Earth the six feisty females are actually dumped there & find themselves in what looks like some woods where prehistoric creatures roam. With no weapons for protection, no beacon to get back home or even a radio to make contact & trapped 600Km underground being stalked by giant Spider's & T-Rex's things look bleak for our girls. That is unless project leader Joseph Harnet (Greg Evigan) can mount a daring rescue mission & save his girls...Also known as Journey to Middle Earth here in the UK on DVD (to cash in on Lord of the Rings maybe?) this low budget 'Mockbuster' was directed by David Jones & Scott Wheeler & the only reason The Asylum made this production of Jules Verne's classic novel Journey to the Center of the Earth was because of the big budget rather fun & hugely successful (although the makers of this didn't know how successful it was going to be when they made this as both were released around the same time, in fact this Journey to the Center of the Earth was release about a week earlier than the Hollywood 3-D one) version made by Hollywood in 3-D staring Brendan Fraser that I can assure you is infinitely better than this sorry excuse for a rip-off. Out of the eleven comments on the IMDb so far (obviously the number will increase over time) only three rate Joureny to the Center of the Earth higher than either one or two stars & no-one has dared give it more than a paltry four so far which just about says it all really, I simply cannot see any normal sane person enjoying this film at all. It is that bad. Do you want to see a Dinosaur attack where you don't actually see the Dinosaur at all? Well, it happens here. Do you want to see a film where the might of the US military can only conjure up six feeble teenage girls to take part in an experiment that could literally change the way we live? Do you want to see a film where only one person dies on screen? Do you want to see a film that makes no logical sense? I mean if they are stuck 600Km under the Erath's surface where is the clear bright sunlight coming from? Why is there a mix of factual Dinosaur's like a T-Rex & the purely fictional like the giant Spider's? Do you want to see a film where it is possible to dig through 600Km of Earth in an hour or two? Seriously Journey to the Center of the Earth is a mess from start to finish with awful character's that feel out of place, terrible dialogue, a main plot which consists of these girly soldiers walking through what looks like a normal wood trying to avoid Dinosaur's which we barely even see & a horrible happily ever after sickly sweet style ending that just adds insult to injury & the final twist shot leaves the door open for a possible sequel which sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. Terrible, simple as that.Although there are barely any effect in it I must admit that the CGI work is the best I have seen in a film from The Asylum thus far with a reasonable looking T-Rex & a half decent giant Spider at the end. Don't get me wrong they still look poor but by the usual standards of The Asylum they are an improvement but that in itself really isn't saying much. There is one fairly gory shot at the end when someone's stomach explodes which really sticks out because apart from that one shot there isn't any blood, gore or violence elsewhere at all. The film looks cheap, the center of the Earth bits are supposed to hold a sense of wonder & look alien but here these scenes look like any old wood was used.The budget was probably none existent, this has a really cheap made-for-telly look about that even the Sci-Fi Channel would be embarrassed about. The acting is generally poor, Greg Evigan is awful while his daughter Vanessa Lee Evigan plays one of the soldiers. The one bright spark in this terrible film is Dedee Pfeiffer (yes, Michelle Pfeiffer's sister) who puts in a fun performance & still looks quite good despite being the wrong side of forty.Journey to the Center of the Earth is a terrible rip-off 'Mockbuster' made by rip-off specialists The Asylum to shamelessly cash-in on the big budget Hollywood version released around the same time. Definitely one to avoid. There has been at least nine filmed adaptations of Verne's novel Journey to the Center of the Earth & while I haven't seen them all I can quite confidently say this is probably the worst.

By every account this is a terribly bad movie. Why do I give it so many stars (well, 4 out 10)? Because the cheese factor kind of works in it's favor ... for me. It's got some sort of sick charm that appeals to 1 out of every 50 people and I guess I'm that 1 person.Given that in 2008, 2 other Journey to the Center of the Earth movies were made (one Theatrical, one for the Hallmark TV channel) ... what spin could this one take? An all-female cast for starters (well, there is one slightly older middle-aged guy present, but he doesn't count), and teleportation to add a little novelty.Here's the setup: a military team of women are using a relatively new teleportation machine to zip over to Germany. Their path takes them through the center of the Earth (well, only 600km deep) ... and something goes wrong and they get stuck in said location. The hot female scientist who designed the machine is now just finished work on a nuclear-powered, laser-blasting deep digging machine. This is what's used to rescue the lost women.Part of the cheese factor for me is that in spite of a low budget, ridiculous cast and idea and clear special effects goofs (I don't think we're meant to see clouds underground) ... everyone in the movie tries to be serious. The result is a kind of offbeat amusement. In fact, I'm actually pretty impressed that the film makers didn't go the "T&A" route; the girl with the lip-ring in the beginning almost gets you thinking otherwise.Anyway, I do not recommend watching this movie. However, if you believe that you may happen to like knucklehead adaptations of "Journey to the ..." movies, then by all means check it out. I kind of liked it.
