Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

mikemdp So someone said, "Hey, the Jules Verne story is great, but you know what would make it REALLY great? Hot babes and machine guns!" And so, The Asylum, whose cheesy movies are much more charming than their IMDb reviews suggest, rewrites the classic story, adds lots of heaving breasts and firepower, throws in the same t-rex and giant spider they put in practically all their movies, and creates another time waster that's really no worse than that Brendan Fraser big-budget nonsense.And really, I more resent shelling out my hard-earned money for blatant audience contempt like the Brendan Fraser movie than I do the five bucks I paid for this one, (1) because it's unapologetically cheesy and doesn't trick me into thinking it's anything else, and (2) because it came in a $5 DVD set with five other cheesy movies, so the cost to me was really less than a buck plus the time to watch it. A bargain, I say.But I agree with other reviewers here that it needed some topless and/or babe-babe kissing scenes to make it a classic. With The Asylum, though, it's all about the teasin' and not about the pleasin'.

Ken (TV_Ken) I was sick in bed and needed something to watch. This made me sicker.Some of the very worst acting and script I have ever seen. Your time would be better spent watching paint dry.The plot makes no sense.The special effects were the least special I have ever seen.This is a waste of my time writing this review, but I have to write enough to save some other poor sole from having to endure the fiasco of a movie.It starts with an all girl team of soldiers with no explanation of why there are no men. I suspect it was hard finding men to appear in this movie. One of the girls thinks they will not be taken seriously by people at the destination if they are not in full battle gear. This is the only line in the movie that makes sense.

MartianOctocretr5 Even below the typical level of Sci-Fi channel stuff. Most of these movies you can laugh at, but this thing barely achieves even camp-level status. It has next to nothing to do with the Jules Verne work, only rips off and defames the title. In fact, everything in this movie is ripped off from somebody else's ideas. The $7 budget used in this film was only enough to hire some Drama 101 students from a local middle-school. A rag-tag group of Xena-wanna-be's are supposed to go to Germany in a covert mission, using some sort of teleportation device. Would you believe it doesn't work right? Well, they don't materialize inside of solid rock like this movie's writers did; instead, they end up in a south Pacific tropical island paradise. It's the home to a few CGI dinosaurs that actually appear occasionally, usually to roar. There's other Skull island type grotesque creatures scaring our heroines, too.The group of stereotypes--I mean soldiers include Vilma Dinkley. She examines a pebble, and immediately knows they're 600 kilometers below the surface, under magma. You heard that right: under magma. There's a bully cat-fighter girl, a Barbie cutout doll, and their Camp Fire girls troop leader--I mean, captain. They all look like refugees from an Annette and Frankie beach musical. Scenes involving the tunneling vehicle are even sillier. The scientist and the army guy ride around through magma like they do it every day, making one-liners. The machine emerges from a magma chamber into the Hawaiian set, and shows no signs of even being warm. No smoke, ash, discoloration--nothing.If somebody sells the DVD of this at a yard sale for 25 cents, it's price gouging.

RONALD B. RAFF (herbstnebel2ss) Had I known this film was made by The Asylum, I would have passed it by. The plot, if you can call it that, was ripped off from "The Core" and "Star Trek". It concerns a teleportation devise that instead of sending it's passengers to Stuttgart, Germany, lands them in the center of the Earth. The remainder of the film involves the feeble and unbelievable rescue attempt, which isn't even worth discussing. The sets were totally unconvincing, as in various scenes a blue sky, clouds and even the Sun are visible. Indoor scenes were obviously filmed inside a warehouse and the special effects are pathetic even by 1950's standards. As for the script, I've seen more creative writing on the walls of public bathrooms. The producers had to really try hard to assemble a cast as talentless as this one. Better performances have been exhibited by corpses. The scantily clad females run around in sheer panic while the males try to appear robust and masculine, but fail miserably. If you suffer from insomnia definitely rent this film, if you want to be entertained, rent the original with James Mason.
