verne journey to the center of the earth

Uno no simplemente entra al centro de la Tierra.Įl joven estudiante Axel y el Profesor Otto Lidenbrock, estudiando un muy viejo manuscrito, descubren un antiguo camino hacia el centro de la Tierra.

And the acting (of everyone) was subpar at best. Lindenbrook is portrayed as an obnoxious misogynist jerk. The effects were lacking, but considering the year of filming might be excusable. There were also several scenes of singing, which annoyed me to no end. The plot was very slow paced and mostly boring. The only thing I liked was the introduction of Gertrude, a companion goose which coincidentally was also the saddest thing. These include a second shadow expedition with a merciless antagonist, a new partner with a romance, and a brief period in Atlantis. Several changes were made to the plot, and none particularly good. *** The movie (1959) is a somewhat mediocre adaptation. Overall a nice complement to the reading.

All the anti-gravity stuff felt absolutely preposterous, but oh well, Hollywood right? But other than that, very entertaining, and easy to watch. I think the best of the movie are the especial effects, beyond awesome, and, if not the plot, at least they truly depict the beautiful essence of all the wonders of this hidden world Verne created with his book. Stellar cast including stars like Fraser, Hutcherson and Briem. Not a great movie, nor exactly faithful to the book, some very big licenses were taken, but still very popcorn worthy. *** The movie (2008) is an entertaining adaptation. His extraordinary voyage series is pure classic magic. This is my favorite Verne book so far, I’ve read a few others and I'm always intent on reading more.

I’ll never forget the caverns, the underground sea voyage and all the amazing lifeforms found in the prehistoric land. The book starts somewhat slow, and I must confess I found everything regarding Iceland particularly boring, but once they enter the volcano, it’s a non-stop journey of thrilling dangers and ever greater surprises. Will they be able to make it? And what amazing wonders await hidden within the depths of the Earth?Īn incredible adventure like only the immortal Jules Verne can deliver. The travel is extensively long, and not without its many perils. They immediately travel to Iceland, and with the assistance of Hans, a local guide, they find an entrance in Snæfellsjökull, a volcano near Reykjavík. Young student Axel and Professor Otto Lidenbrock, studying a very old manuscript, discover an ancient pathway into the center of the Earth. One does not simply walk into the center of the Earth.
