BWANA DEVIL 3 D TRAILER SERIES

There they hook up with the daughter of a devoted 'Vernean,' played by the Iceland-born actress (a good one) Anita Briem. rex attack and the overall bam-bam-bam.įraser's scientist, Trevor Anderson, travels to Iceland with his surly nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson). The new 'Journey' moves along (minus credits, it runs less than 90 minutes, bam-bam-bam), and it has a fairly lighthearted spirit, considering all the flying fishy carnivores and the T. It's too early to tell if he has real talent or simply a lot of technical facility. Eric Brevig, making his feature film directorial debut, comes out of the visual effects and second-unit realms.

The new one isn't much more than a series of theme-park attractions-the three-track mine-shaft roller-coaster ride being the most blatant, and zippy it is too-dressed up as a film. It may have more to do with Jules Munshin than Jules Verne. The new 'Journey' has even less to do with Jules Verne than the Pat Boone one did. The 1959 version of 'Journey to the Center of the Earth,' the one starring James Mason and Pat Boone, wasn't filmed in 3-D that one had to make do with 'the incomparable magic of CinemaScope,' as Mason intoned in the '59 film's trailer.

At one point someone zings a tape measure into your face, the way that busker aimed a paddle ball straight at your noggin in 'House of Wax,' the most popular of all the 3-D attractions from the early 1950s. It's about the star of the 'Mummy' franchise (neither of the first two recent 'Mummy' outings were as entertaining as this picture, by the way) goobing toothpaste spittle down a bathroom drain, i.e., into your face, with the viewer's perspective being that of the drain. What's it about, besides journeying to the center of the Earth? It's about flying toothy piranhas leaping directly out of a vast underground ocean into your face. You want a lot from 3-D, of course, and 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' certainly complies. Spears, axes, Angelina Jolie's digitized nekkidity-it was a lot to take in. And it's not out to 3-D you to death, the way Robert Zemeckis' 'Beowulf' (a far more ambitious project) couldn't stop aiming all that stuff directly at your head every second of every scene. I can't tell you how this film looks in 2-D, which is how the majority of the nation's customers will partake of it.
