HALLMARK JULES VERNE SET
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH(1999):
While some of the sets on this were a little
lacking, overall the special effects were
spectacular!! The acting for the most part
was very good, with Bryan Brown(who was
also in The Poseidon Adventure) doing another
great job in this, along with Jeremy London,
Tushka Bergen and Petra Yared! And while it's
a little preposterous here and there, this is
still a fun movie that moves right along! Well
worth watching! B+
From an Amazon.com customer:
With a great cast and timeless story,this T.V.
version of the old classic is great all the way.
I Found it wounderfully intoxicating and lots
of fun.An adventure for the whole
family. - RLMajordad!@Aol.com

I enjoyed this even with some of the less than
perfect special effects!! Patrick Stewart does a
wonderful job in his role as Captain Nemo, and
Kyle, Gabrielle, Jason, Chris and Vinnie do great
also! The story is a little hokey, but still overall
a fun film worth watching!! B+
From Amazon.com:
If viewed over a two day period, there are
two segments, the film provides decent
family viewing, but will be a bit hard on the
adults. The film is too stereotypical, offering
nothing much to separate itself from the standard
Treasure Island movie; this makes it somewhat
of a drag for the adult segment of the audience.
It should keep the younger ones happy, although
the older segment of that group will find the
technology pretty primitive.
The actors are given little scope to shine but
Patrick Stewart and Roy Marsden do stand out
despite the limitation of the material. On the
other hand, the role meant to be the backbone
of the heroics, played by Kyle MacLachlan, fails
to rise above a wooden conventionality. The
others perform with professional competency
but none are allowed to infuse their parts with
meaning.
Over-all, a routine experience for adults, good
movie for the kids. - drkhimxz
