    Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) by Jules Verne was filmed in 1959 & 2008. The book is more science-oriented with geology & paleontology while the films adopt an action/adventure approach. Romantic leading ladies are added which the book lacks. 🌍⛏️🌋 #filmsky #booksky

    I watch bad-to-mediocre movies basically every night and Albert Pyun's Journey to the Center of the Earth is maybe the least coherent movie I've seen in the last two years. Just a marvel of pure nonsense.

    Books to film 📚=🎞️ Journey to the Center of the Earth(1864) by Jules Verne. Adapted to film, TV, & manga. I like the 1959 film best. A Professor & his nephew discover a secret passage to a subterranean world. Prehistoric monsters, molten lava and adventure. Lots of fun!🤠 #booksky #filmsky #scifisky

    I was born with heart conditions and every other year I have to get heart MRIs. Today I had one, they also let me pick a movie to watch. I saw “Journey to the Center of the Earth” on the list&it has Josh Hutcherson in it… of course I had to pick it immediately. 🤣 I haven’t seen the movie in years. 😭

    JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (2008, Tubi, #film) A 3D(🫵!!!) family action theme park ride that's much less hacky or phoned in than it could have been. Brendan Fraser does Arms, Josh Hutchinson does Kid, and Anita Briem does Blonde. It's surprisingly fine, if set entirely in a Playstation 3.

    Well, I suppose that the truly greatest film ever made is Journey to the Center of the Earth, with James Mason and Arlene Dahl (to say nothing of Pat Boone and Peter Ronson), but this comes close.

    The worldbuilding in "Alien From LA"/"Journey To The Center Of The Earth" is absolutely amazing and intricate. There's so much creativity here. It's like if you grew up and made a movie based on one of the stories you wrote when you were eleven but also kept the same story and dialogue.

    Okay. I have just now learned that "Alien From L.A." was essentially a reshoot of "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" which was released as a separate film after Albert Pyun salvaged the incompetent efforts of director Rusty Lemonade. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_L...

    JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1959, VOD, #film) A massively sexy Pat Boone (hand to god) and an overly talented cast of babes do battle with a plodding, plotzing, tired script that keeps putting the focus on sexism, villainry, and duck reaction shots instead of the wondrous adventure. Eh!

    The only thing wrong with the 1959 film of Journey to the Center of the Earth is: no Harryhausen. I also just read that they originally wanted Clifton Webb (!) for Professor Lindenbrook, but he wasn't in good enough health to play the role.

Technically a sequel to the 2008 Journey to the Center of the Earth, but w/ The Rock replacing Brendan Fraser & adding Michael Caine & Luis Guzman.
