Editorial Review:
James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core in this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the center of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernized to 1950s sensibilities. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Rating:  - WAS NOT 'modernized' - takes place in 19th century- 1857, I think

Fun -yet dramatic film
Rating: - Family Film and Science Fiction Classic
Impressive movie for it's time. Holds up well, and the kids liked it too.
Rating: - oldie but a goodie
If you enjoy movies from the past this is a great Jules Verne story to watch. Filmed in the Carlsbad caverns if you are wondering where did they find these caves. This is the original story made from the book and I really enjoy these older movies from the past.
Rating:  - Excellent change of pace!
It was good to watch a good old fashioned sci-fi movie. I recommend it for a change of pace or nostalgic view.
Rating:  - Wholesome family fun
Overall if you like films like 20,000 leagues under the sea, then you may want to try out Journey to the Centre of the Earth which is an old classic family adventure that even has a pet duck called Gertrude that goes along with Prof. Lindenbrook (James Mason) and his expedition to the centre of the earth.
It is a slow trip and not much of the movie stands the test of time (just look at the film's title) but it is still entertainment and there are various action sequences with a budget ... Read More
