Jules Verne classic tale of adventure is captured in this entertaining adaptation of the novel.

Brendan Fraser plays a scientist and school professor who studies the earths core, magma and seismic changes and yearns for a life outside of the lab.

He has a nack for these adventure movies as he has in the Mummy movies, and the kid who plays his nephew Sean link up for family time to uncover some of the mysteries of the notes Seans father left in his journey to find a Lost land.

They decipher the notes and their adventure takes them to Iceland where they meet the other member of this trilogy a mountain climber who has the energy and smile to melt any glacier and keep up with the boys.

The CGI and graphical were probably more effective in 3D so I'll let that go but the story has fun and the relationship between the character evolves with every adventure they encounter.

Have fun with this and take that journey to your imagination.
