Don’t waste your time on “Journey to the Center of the Earth.“

While watching “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” I was trying to figure out which was worse: the script or the acting.  The script finally won out for horribleness.

I realize that since it is science-fiction, some things aren’t supposed to make sense, but the least you can hope for is an actually intelligent-that-might-could-happen plot.

No such luck. I spent most of the first part of the movie trying to think of an intelligent answer to why you can see all of the characters and settings clearly when they’re CAVED-IN in a cave. Where is that light coming from? Because it’s not from their flashlights. Then, when the characters get to the center of the earth, which turns out to look like the top of the Earth except with dinosaurs, the temperature is a mere 82 degrees. The temperature fluctuates, explains Brendan Fraser’s character. I guess this temperature fluctuation does not deter the dinosaur population in the center of the Earth.
Then (hopefully for comic relief), while in the center of the Earth, the kid (Josh Hutcherson) gets cell phone reception. I can’t even get cell reception on I-85 near the Tuskegee exit.

I couldn’t tell if I liked the end because it was finally getting more high-paced or because it was actually over. This movie might be exciting if you’re 6 years old, but it is definitely not worth the $10.50 you have to pay (3D glasses included). 
Just watch the trailer. It’ll save you time and money.
