Journey to the Center of the Earth adapts the novel into a plot that is pretty much the same and fully aware of it and in the modern world. I guess it's ment to take place over a longer period of time but it feels like the whole thing happens in an afternoon. A fun little romp to the Earth's core and back. Even if it's more than an afternoon the latter description remains relevant. There's any feeling of danger and every obstacle is merely a launching pad into the next sequence for excitement-or so it tries. They scream like they're on a roller coaster and make their little quips the whole time.
