jeff: I mean, you add a cat with a funny face to anything and suddenly it’s hysterical
brent: yeah, cats are to funny what fizz is to pop

With my cousin and her 13 year old son, I went and saw “Journey to the Center of the Earth” - the new version with Brendan Fraser.  In 3D.  Yeah, with the glasses and everything.

The story was as expected.  All the plot twists are pretty straight forward.  I’m sure most people could script this one up without too much trouble.  The acting is pretty good - nothing stellar, but not horrible.  Actually, the writing was pretty good - there were lots of good jokes.

What makes this film is the 3D.  It’s awesome.  Everything is 3D, and done superbly.  Simple things, like looking at someone sitting in a room is so much cooler in 3D.  I mean, you really feel the depth in the scene.  There were a number of parts in the film where I tried to dodge out of the way of something flying at me.  That’s just such a different way to watch a movie to me.

Take a scene like in the second Indianna Jones flick.  With the mining carts flying around all over the place over lava pits.  In 3D, that scene is breathtaking.  It’s much more involved when you’re nearly immersed in the scene - looking around the theatre, you see people ducking, screaming and laughing during the scene.  And it’s MUCH safer than actually being there.  The movie is tense because of the 3D - by the end of the movie you’re almost tired from being on the edge of your seat for so long.

Jurassic Park did a good job of showing off a T-Rex in a very scary way.  Try it in 3-D.  It’s insanely freaky.

I highly recommend checking this out.   Grab a few people you feel like laughing with, and go see it.
