Editorial Reviews
Jules Verne's landmark novel gains a fantastic new life in a tropical Hawaiian setting when a young, strong-willed English nanny accidentally joins two vacationing brothers exploring a cave on a deserted stretch of beach. Shortly after they enter, a volcanic eruption rocks the cave, opening a crack which turns out to be an ancient path downward. Short of water, food and daylight, the explorers use their sense of humor to keep their spirits up as they uncover an array of incredible and often dangerous discoveries. But nothing can prepare them for the ultimate discovery - the real city of Atlantis. Often idealized as paradise, the mythic civilization turns out to be anything but.

I was happy to find this movie. I have been looking for it a long time, for my sci-fi collection. You have to love old sci-fi to get into it. It has giant mushrooms, dinos, large turtles; and a base of scienists next to the giant ape cave. There is a man with a metal box, that may have to do with time travel. He meets them in the cave on the way to the center of the earth. This version does have a nice ending. There are two different movies on the page to order this movie, they are not the same. I got The Fabulous Journey To The Center Of The Earth. This was the movie I was looking for.

I love the Jules Verne story so I figured I would love this version of it. Wrong. Save yourselves. Watch the James Mason version or even the new Brendan Fraser version (although it doesn't really follow the book and creates a new modern journey), but don't bother watching this poorly scripted attempt. There are too many plot holes, bad acting, and crazy changes to the original story.

First, service was Outstanding.
I have just about every version of this movie made and I have to say this is the worst of them all! Don't know how I was able to watch 3/4's of it! IMHO don't waste your money!

A terrible movie that is worth a watch or two. This movie has the look and feeling of something that was filmed with three directors all of which quit and went with rewrites to the movie. The fact that one of the main characters from the very beginning has a weird exit only tells me that they couldn't keep that actor. Also, the fact that the plot kept changing goes to show that there should have been three different movies.

History: this film was started as its own production by Golan-Globus, but as their production company shifted its focus, the work remained unfinished for years before finally being slapped together with the production for Alien from LA. You can actually tell at what point the film was finished and what scenes were filmed before production shifted. Watch this after seeing Alien from LA for your bad movie night, and you won't be disappointed. The cast does pretty well, and the writers really did an amazing job trying to smash the two stories together.

This was BY FAR the worst rendering of Journey to the Center of the Earth I have ever seen in my life! I couldn't believe I spent $5 on this movie--to think I could have had a Cold Stone instead...
Initially, this movie doesn't even remotely closely follow the Verne classic. There is nothing even remotely familiar in here--Pat Boone playing an accordion all the way down was a closer rendition--and that's saying something. About the only thing that is similar to the classic novel is the fact that there is a journey to the center of the earth.
Second, the setting isn't really all that accurate. A matte painting is used for the "volcano," and it doesn't even look like a real volcano from any geology textbook I've read (and I was a geology major specializing in volcanic seismology...). Worse, the type of volcano illustrated doesn't even exist in Hawaii. The eruption indicated is a physical impossibility in the islands.
Thirdly, Atlantis. Really? Please. This is an insult to my intelligence. Verne MUST be rolling in his grave...
Fourth, the plot. It's as if the writer just grew tired of the story (or the film ran out of money) and it just STOPPED. Dead. No rising action. No falling action. No action.
SAVE YOUR MONEY! Do not buy this. Go to Cold Stone instead. You'll thank me for it. My copy has already been placed into the shredder. It doesn't even rate a viewing at my Sunday night heckle parties.

Flat out genius
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2017Verified Purchase
If I ever (and that is a very big IF) get to direct a film as good as this, I will be a proud man, too proud perhaps. Whether or not you like this mish mash, this film is certainly not alone; there seems to be a whole genre of very hard to find fascinating films rather like this. Life force, for instance, or Solarbabies, or quite a few others that I might never track down at all.
A lot of these films, well, I saw them when I was a very young Dad in my early twenties, so that is now a long time ago. This Rusty Lemorande gem is rather typical of this era in that it's genuinely anarchic, but structured just enough to get the feeling that there is in fact something interesting going on. It's soothing in a mad sort of way, like a psychedelic bedtime story for big kids. And for that, I owe the director some drinks.
[By the way, I do not include "Jubilee" in the set of movies from this kind of genre, that is far too commercial!!!]
The film progresses in a sort of "contemporary Jules Verne" kind of way with irrelevant punk era references to nannies, pet poodles (a Zappa homage surely) and a lot of odd stuff thrown about in a fun way. However, as quite a few people have remarked, the film (sort of) fractures some way in the middle and gets very strange indeed.
Myself, I find the transition less jolting than it might have been. It raises odd questions about honest to goodness punk based communes that still existed around this time (I lived in one around 1980 or so) and even stranger communities barely detectable from even further back, stories concerning which were popular discussion points amongst my friends in this same time period. That, combined with a careless ending that has a CONSPICUOUS EDITION of National Geographic featured makes me wonder if indeed the directors knew something that we are just beginning to discover now.
This movie has a message. And I'm going to get my weekly copy of Perry Rohdan now and damn the torpedoes.
Have a good one
