It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I was sick in bed and needed something to watch. This made me sicker.Some of the very worst acting and script I have ever seen. Your time would be better spent watching paint dry.The plot makes no sense.The special effects were the least special I have ever seen.This is a waste of my time writing this review, but I have to write enough to save some other poor sole from having to endure the fiasco of a movie.It starts with an all girl team of soldiers with no explanation of why there are no men. I suspect it was hard finding men to appear in this movie. One of the girls thinks they will not be taken seriously by people at the destination if they are not in full battle gear. This is the only line in the movie that makes sense.

Some reviewers felt this mess was fun. Jeez. Their taste is in their mouth. This bore about boring to the center of the earth must have had Jules Verne spinning wildly in his grave. I found it at Wal-Mart and would love to get my $5 back. It is doubled with 100 Million BC, also with Greg Evigan. I enjoyed some of the '50s-60s schlock. They were fun. This was a ripoff. Less than 5 minutes of looking at a sick dinosaur with vocal cords, and a few minutes of a spider with gland problems, both phonier than Ma Bell. One more thing, the music was an outright steal from Phillip Glass. Action? None. It was talk-talk-talk, and stupid talk-talk-talk at that. The picture on the box has this really mean looking dinosaur. Evidently, he was cut out of the movie. Fred Flintstone's Dino was far more convincing. It is advertised as a Maximum Movie Experience. They should be sued for false advertising. The girls were good looking and a couple of them could be classified as actresses. Appearing in this piece of junk is no way to further a career. Does Michelle have any words of advice for her sister --- like----keep away from this tripe? You get the picture. Don't get this picture.

Had I known this film was made by The Asylum, I would have passed it by. The plot, if you can call it that, was ripped off from "The Core" and "Star Trek". It concerns a teleportation devise that instead of sending it's passengers to Stuttgart, Germany, lands them in the center of the Earth. The remainder of the film involves the feeble and unbelievable rescue attempt, which isn't even worth discussing. The sets were totally unconvincing, as in various scenes a blue sky, clouds and even the Sun are visible. Indoor scenes were obviously filmed inside a warehouse and the special effects are pathetic even by 1950's standards. As for the script, I've seen more creative writing on the walls of public bathrooms. The producers had to really try hard to assemble a cast as talentless as this one. Better performances have been exhibited by corpses. The scantily clad females run around in sheer panic while the males try to appear robust and masculine, but fail miserably. If you suffer from insomnia definitely rent this film, if you want to be entertained, rent the original with James Mason.

Maybe I expect just a little too much science in my science fiction, particularly as we are in the 21st century. Light, sure, some sort of rock phosphorescence or plasma glow, but clouds? I think patten5, however, pointed out what is really missing in this film; if the team had shed their black bras (except for the Captain who wears flesh-tone) early in the movie, it would have held MY attention better. (Okay, okay, I'm a sexist pig, but aren't women in skimpy clothing de rigeur for cheesy SF?) So, what do we have here? For one thing, a movie that has no shame in ripping off just about anything else: title, transporter malfunctions, Core-squelike machine to drill through the Earth's crust, CGI T-Rexes. All things considered, even though I could have spent the 87 minutes in more uplifting ways, I was entertained. I would like to have seen more of Goth Girl.
