In this follow-up to the 2008
worldwide hit Journey to the Center of the Earth, the new 3D family adventure
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island begins when young Sean Anderson (Josh
Hutcherson, reprising his role from the first film) receives a coded distress
signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. It's a place of
strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one
astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean's new stepfather, Hank
(Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis
Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set
out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shock waves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.
What's Good About the Movie:
THE ROCK!!!!
What's Bad About the Movie:
The movie flies by pleasantly, and is then instantly
forgettable. Perhaps Jules Verne can explain the science of that. What may
remain in memory a bit longer is the accompanying Looney Tunes shortDaffy's
Rhapsody, about the existential relationship between the wily waterfowl
Daffy Duck and the hapless hunter Elmer Fudd. It features the voice of the late
maestro Mel Blanc, taken from a Daffy song recorded in the 1950s. The cartoon
is in 3-D, which to this purist is vewwy, vewwy wrong — unless
the animators meant Elmer to look more like Dick Cheney than like the Fudd we
know.
