Synopsis

No one believes that Trevor Anderson is on to something. The science professor’s unconventional hypotheses have put him on the fringe of the academic community. But during an expedition to Iceland, Trevor and his teenage nephew, Sean, accompanied by their beautiful local guide, Hanna, make a breakthrough discovery that launches them on a thrilling adventure into the unknown. As their journey takes them deep beneath the Earth’s surface, they travel through never-before-seen worlds that bring them face to face with surreal and unimaginable creatures, stretching the bounds of the visionary scientist’s own imagination.

Critics' reviews

"Terrific family entertainment, an action comedy on a par with "Night at the Museum" and "National Treasure".

Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post
"Remove a star from the rating if you take this Journey without wearing 3-D glasses. That's where the real fun comes in. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"[It] probably has the highest screams-per-capita ratio in the history of action-adventure pics, and a better thrill-per-minute deal than most"

John Anderson: Variety
"This is a fairly bad movie, and yet at the same time maybe about as good as it could be. There may not be an 8-year-old alive who would not love it. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"Not so much a movie as an amusement park ride. As a ride, it's a reasonably exciting way to pass the time. (...) But as a movie, it's flat and predictable, though the visuals are often striking. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"[It is] packed with thrills, scares and lots of fun (...) A pleasant surprise (...) with an endearing sense of its own limitations"

Tim Robey: Telegraph
