New movie list Journey 2: The Mysterious Island In this follow-up to the 2008 worldwide hit Journey to the Center of the Earth, the new 3D family adventure Journey 2: The Mysterious Island begins when young Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson, reprising his role from the first film) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. It's a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean's new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever. -- (C) Official Site Release Date Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Feb 10, 2012 Wide

Review For Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
Amusingly childish... Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service Surely the silliest outing for Caine since he swatted rampaging killer bees in the 1978 disaster flick "The Swarm." Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Offers giant rocks clearly made of Styrofoam and Dwayne Johnson, who fits the same description. Rafer Guzman-Newsday I swear some of the giant, Day-Glo vegetation had "Property of 'Lost in Space'" stamped on it. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger The equivalent of throwing "Jurassic Park," "Avatar" and the absolute worst episode ever of "Land of the Lost" in a blender and pushing "garble." Tom Long-Detroit News The Mysterious Island is everything a 12-year-old boy could want - endless adventure involving a reckless adolescent hero, with a pretty girl in a clinging T-shirt around to watch him struggle. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail As silly and childish as you might expect, but Johnson ensures that it's watchable through presence and charm alone. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" is light, airy family entertainment that actually ends up being too light and airy. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com It's a harmless, lighthearted film with wooden acting, a nice message about accepting your parents-whoever they are-and again, lots of ridiculous CGI. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com The only defense for this movie is to say that it's not actually 'trying' to be good ... Are we supposed to applaud just because they set the bar low and barely reached it? William Bibbiani-CraveOnline It definitely has its appeal to the crowd it's pandering toward, and it's a success in its mission to bring the awe and thrills. Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed But Journey 2 delivers a flashy and eye opening adventure product, with each cast member stepping forward to steal particular scenes. Rhett Bartlett-Dial M For Movies The whole movie has such an air of giddy adventure that I had a good time with it. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is charming, in spite of its imperfections. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat Visually rich with lavish sets and fun movie monsters, but Journey 2 is about as underdeveloped and hollow as assembly-line filmmaking can get. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD Fans of intelligent family filmmaking will want to skip this vapid CGI-fest. Jordan Farley-SFX Magazine ...the group of people at the center of the story are the least-appealing folks you'd ever want to be stuck with on a deserted island. (Blu-ray Combo Pack) John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis ...a family adventure aimed squarely at children. For kids, it's fine; they'll probably enjoy all the color, action, and preposterous goings-on. John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis Panders to the kiddies, caters to the teens, and tosses in a loser-ethnic-sidekick. The shrugging tone of this 21st-century sabotage of the original novel is summed up by this slogan masquerading as dialogue: 'It's Jules Verne, man-ya gotta believe.' Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) Falls far short of cinematic art but goes down pretty well with a box of popcorn and modest expectations. Neil Pond-American Profile Feeding this to a young mind should count as a chargable offense. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth It's all a bit silly. But Journey 2 does have the uncomplicated charm of those ancient mid-budget epics in which Doug McClure narrowly avoided being eaten by Pterodactyls. Donald Clarke-Irish Times Utterly disposable and -- apart from Dwayne Johnson's 'pec pop of love' -- almost immediately forgettable. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Silly, colorful, harmless and fun. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) The visual effects are as artificial as the genially preposterous story, but the movie is all in fun, and painless for grownups. Leonard Maltin-indieWIRE It lost me at the bees. 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island' is kinda/sorta based on the writings of Jules Verne, in a similar vein as its predecessor, 'Journey to the Center of the Earth.' Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa)
