Customer Reviews of Journey to Center of the Earth
Classy, classic sci-fi adventure JOURNEY to the CENTER of the EARTH is classic(Jules Verne)sci-fi that's classy to the max. JAMES MASON(of WALT DISNEYS's 20,000 Leagues under the Sea,CATAIN NEMO fame)is the Professor.He stalwartly leads an expedition comprised of radiantly beautiful Arlene Dahl;an appealingly heroic Pat Boone;Herculean Peter-the-big-guy,Ronson;& the big guy's existential(and LATER tasty for bad guy,Thayer David)cool-as-a-moose pet DUCK,Gertrude. <
>THE JOURNEY is an action/danger packed Quest,full of beautifully photographed surprises~ Sequences from Carlesbad Caverns in New Mexico,USA are spectacular;as ls the gigantic Alice-in-Wonderland Mushroom Forest and eerie,phosphorescent kalaidescope pools).Battles between ferociously nasty dinosaurs(trick/interposed live-action blow-up photos of muy feo Australian Dragon lizards)are climactic. As is the ordeal of survival in magnetically-induced storms on a vast,center-of-the-Earth sea which culminates in discovery of The Lost City of Atlantis. <

>JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH is a film of highest production and entertainment value.The story is well-paced and suspenseful.The cast...again and again...is ingratiatingly appealing.SFX,for the time, were wonderous;they are still servicably good to excellent. This,as has been observed,is superior,unreservedly recommended FAMILY adventure comprising what was once best in Hollywood spectacles...and still is.
Journey to the Center of the Earth
My son was so interested in seeing this movie after seeing the book at a Doctor's office. He has been thrilled with the quality and the story!
In the spirit of Jules Verne
Collectively, Verne's novels were called "Les voyages extraordinaires", and this film, whatever licenses have been taken with the source, aspires to that. While the prelude to the journey is too long (we even have to endure Pat Boone croon a tuneless number), once we've plunged into the Earth, the film takes on an air of wonderment.

>Cast chemistry contributes in a big way. James Mason, a brooding but stout leader. Pat Boone, surprisingly effective as an eager student (but not so successful as a Scotsman). Arlene Dahl, a ravishingly beautiful damsel who is sage and sane and only distressed when she really really needs to be. Real-life Icelander Peter Ronson, a tall man's man -- who loves his pet duck. Gravelly-voiced American (believe it or not) Thayer David, pure villainy.
