B- Chicago Tribune Matt Pais "...the plot's totally bare bones..." more... C   E! Online Matt Stevens "...fun-size popcorn movie packs enough adventure and humor into every bite to please the whole fam. Just be sure to catch it in 3-D." more... B   Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "...wandering around the earth's stalactite-dripped core exerts a primal appeal even in a dumb kiddie joyride like this one." more... B- filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "On normal screens, though, Journey will lose its added visual dimension (pun intended), and subtract most of its fun." more... C   Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "A genial take on the Verne tale, retrofitted for junior explorers." more... B- Los Angeles Times Jan Stuart "...a surprisingly tame affair despite its 3-D trappings, but younger viewers may enjoy the trip's visual tricks and gentle jolts." more... C   New York Post Lou Lumenick "...the most entertaining 3-D movie I've ever seen." more... B   New York Times A. O. Scott "...mildly diverting..." more... C   ReelViews James Berardinelli "...an overlong gimmick..." more... C   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "In 2-D, it's all achingly familiar. In 3-D, the story comes alive, despite the tacky sets and gimmicks." more... B- San Francisco Chroncile Mick LaSalle "...a legit action movie with action sequences, imaginative action set pieces and even one or two monsters." more... B   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...just a harmless, forgettable theme-park ride." more... B- USA Today Claudia Puig "...not so much a movie as an amusement park ride." more...
