Hoyt Hilsman Variety Missing is the tongue-in-cheek spirit of fun that made adventure romps like Raiders of the Lost Ark a treat. Feb 5, 2018 Full Review Mark R. Leeper rec.arts.movies.reviews Journey to the Center of the Earth (1993) has no connection to the story by Jules Verne, as I am sure the spirit of Verne would want to impress on each and every one of us.

Audience Member Reminiscing about old TV shows I watched when I was in school in the 90's I recalled a Journey to the Center of the Earth-ish one. A little research later and I was in front of the television armed with a bowl of popcorn ready to relive my childhood adventures. Twenty minutes later I was wondering if my parents only allowed me to watch one movie a year, is that why I enjoyed this film? The acting was horrible, the story line blah, effects weren't bad for a 70's film but this was done in the 90's. I decided to continue the trek (i.e. I still had snacks). There was a yeti, an actual yeti, at the center of the earth. Somehow a writer of this show thought it would be a good idea to take a mythical monster renowned for its alpine prowess and place it at the center of the earth. Oh and they called it 'Dallas'... Would not recommend.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member What a crappy version of a great story. The modern day setting doesn't work, the acting is poor and the special effects are surprisingly awful. Bad score, bad everything.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The cast listed for this movie and the title matches a made for TV movie made in 1993 and has nothing to do with the Discovery Channel series of the same name. As for the movie - bad adaptation, acting, effects, ect ... one plot point really bothered me (well - one more than some others). The "bad guy" was obviously the guys Uncle who made the journey 10 years earlier - so why did he make a statement that he had been trapped there for 3 millenia??? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This wasn't a discovery channel tv movie, i dont believe? It was such a terrible tv movie with a horrid script which wouldn't even have a chance at getting funding from Discovery. So i must respectfully disagree with flixter's synopsis. And if i may be wrong, then GOD have mercy on the sin discovery may have commited. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
