Movie: Journey to the Center of the Earth

Just watched the flick, Journey to the Center of the Earth, with my wife and we really enjoyed it. It was a light-hearted comedy with nobody dying, no cursing, and no love story. Just the hap-hazard discovery of a lava tube that leads to the center of the earth by the central charters played by Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, and Anita Briem. While on the journey, they guys bond, Brendan gets the girl, a brother/father is found, all set against the world imagined by Jules Verne in his book Journey to the Center of the Earth (Enriched Classic) .



Expecting a lot of CGI scenes and over the top stunts, there was a scene where everyone is on a raft crossing the underworld ocean when a cell phone call is received. I immediately started laughing in disbelief and saying “Yeah right, we can even get consistent service the hills around here” let alone the center of the Earth.
