JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND Movie Review

Young Sean Anderson 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, joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter, 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.

Family Adventures movies are always fun to watch, and it’s a bonus if it’s in 3D! Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is one movie that you wouldn’t want to miss watching with your whole family, especially if you watch the first instalment, Journey to the Center of the Earth. They story of course is nothing like a 12-year old could ever want, it’s quite extreme for a teen viewer and quite dreary for adults viewers. I like the CGI effects of the movie, and I didn’t regret watching it in 3D! The effect is somehow like a mixture of Avatar and Jurassic Park, watch it and you will know what I mean. The cast blends well with the story and is perfect for the adventure type of this movie.
