"I am one of the biggest supporters of digital 3D, but I just can’t get behind Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D. It appears to be the most exploitive of the technology as little more than a gimmick and attraction. Every bit of computer generated imagery looks tailor made to look neat in three-dimensions. And then the story was probably constructed around those shots. Hell, even that non-CGI shot of Brendan Fraser spitting into the sink seems to exist only so that the spit will appear to fly at you. This isn’t a movie; it’s an amusement park-appropriate spectacle — like Captain EO. Directed by Oscar-winning ILM effects master Eric Brevig (Total Recall) and based on the classic Jules Verne story, Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D is obviously about a journey to the center of the earth, in 3D. It also apparently features dinosaurs, phosphorescent hummingbirds, giant man-eating fly-trap-type plants and a really, really long fall "

"Maybe I read too much Curbed, but it seems we’ve been having a lot of construction accidents in New York City lately (actually, the Daily News has also taken notice). So, while watching the new teaser trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, I couldn’t help but think about last Wednesday’s tragedy in Brooklyn involving a man falling 13 stories to his death. The trailer, which features construction workers throwing themselves off a site due to some strange “happening” that causes people to suddenly commit suicide, may hit too close to home for other people, too. A few blogs and forums have noted the similarity to the images of airborne jumpers/fallers from the World Trade Center on 9/11 (this wouldn’t be the first time Shyamalan made a 9/11 metaphor). Now, I’m not the kind of guy to normally get sensitive about trailer "

"The Core is a very entertaining science fiction movie about a man who discovers that a few strange phenomenons are due to an imminent apocalypses, and the only way to stop this apocalypse is to fix the core of the earth. Of course the science in this movie and most aspects of the movie are hilariously inaccurate its a pretty fun ride, and is worth seeing especially for science fiction movies. This movie reminded me a little of Sunshine which had the same basic idea, drop a bunch of explosives into a hot ball of fire (or in this case iron surrounded by fire) to save the world. "

"I really liked watching this. I got a real kick out of the giant geode their laser rock zapper train fell into. I thought that the wireframe of a diamond the size of Cape Cod was very convincing. This film was cleverly constructed. It threw me back to the choice days of Ray Harryhausen's imaginative audacity. And it was dumb sometimes, which was awesome. "

"Journeys to the center of the Earth usually don't take place at the end of March, at least not in Movieland. So with this week's opening of The Core, one suspects that Hollywood is trying to start the summer-blockbuster season earlier than ever—or that the mere rescuing of all mankind wasn't quite enough to earn the flick popcorn status. After all, Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank aren't exactly marquee names to the blow-'em-up set. But though The Core is, in the end, disappointing, you do get a little bang for your post-Oscars buck. Director Jon Amiel defended the questionable timing of his doomsday story's most prominent elements—among its best special effects are the destruction of international landmarks and a space-shuttle crash-landing—by saying that no blood is shed during these sequences. What may save the movie from sensitive finger-waggers, though, will also likely ensure that it doesn't reach Armageddon or Independence Day po ... "
