DVD Reviews of Journey to the Center of the Earth

DVD Review: Great Journey
Summary: 5 Stars

Outstanding job restoring this classic 1959 movie. I hope they will have it out on Blu-ray as well.

DVD Review: Classic Sci-Fi Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars

Jules Verne wrote it & Hollywood captured it on film. Pat Boone & James Mason are excellent. Great special effects & scenic locations/sets. Now you know where Indiana Jones stole his "rolling boulder" scene from.

DVD Review: Memories and Magic!
Summary: 4 Stars

I have seen this movie so many times I can't count em! Used to be on the 4:30 movie on WABC Channel 7 in NY when I was a kid a lot. James Mason was a great actor and really good in this movie. Those were the days. You will like this movie if your a fan on Sci-Fi/fantasy films. The dvd is done well and with great sound.

DVD Review: A Fun Classic Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Of all the Jules Verne movies this is the most interesting because of the way it was portrayed. It is a classic.

Description of Journey to the Center of the Earth

The accent is on fun and fantasy in this film version of Jules Verne's classic thriller that stars James Mason, Pat Boone, and Arlene Dahl. With spectacular visuals as a backdrop, the story centers on an expedition led by Professor Lindenbrook (Mason) down into the earth's dark, threat-laden core. Members of the group include the professor's star student, Alec (Boone), and the widow (Dahl) of a colleague. Along the way lurk dangers such as kidnapping, death, sabotage by a rival explorer, and attacks by giant prehistoric reptiles. But they also encounter such magnificent wonders as a glistening cavern of quartz crystals, luminescent algae, a forest of giant mushrooms, and the lost city of Atlantis.

Remaining faithful to Verne's story, this is a sweeping adventure that offers enough thrills and entertainment to satisfy every explorer in the family.

James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core in this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the center of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernized to 1950s sensibilities. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it. --Rochelle O'Gorman
