So tonight some friends and I decided on a whim to go see Journey 2: The Mysterious Island! It was super good and the 3D effects were AWESOME! So if anyone out there has doubts about the 3D of it, it was much better.
Yeah I'm not qualified to give an actual review, just my thoughts on the movie. So here goes!
First off, the cast was great! Having Michael Cain in this was stellar. I have loved watching him since Miss Congeniality and he's never a bore. Pleasantly, Vanessa H. did alright for a former Disney girl. Her acting has gotten better since HSM. Though why did she have to kiss Josh?? I mean really...they don't look that great together! That and back off V, you have hundreds of angry fangirls after you now, especially when the Hunger Games finally comes out in 3 weeks.
The action was okay, lots of running away from giant creatures and near the amount you might thing but it was well done. I really want a giant fuzzy bee to carry me everywhere now! Plus add in the 3D effects...it was pretty good! This movie was definitely made to watch in 3D, otherwise all those slow shots of sharp objects flying everywhere wouldn't be as stunning!
I think my main draw to it, was that they take these from books and throw in Atlantis along with Captain Nemo! As a book nerd, it amazes me anytime someone makes a movie where you follow the adventures of a book. Sometimes you believe that there really are worlds out there just waiting to be discovered by us, ones that the authors were lucky enough to discover but the only other people they want to share it with have to be worthy of it-that is why they write all those books. Like Tolkien, or C.S. Lewis. Tolkien created such a fantastic world that is easy to lose yourself in it. And Lewis? I still check wardrobes whenever I find them for Narnia...and I"m almost 19 years old! (Oh, they showed the preview for The Hobbit, and just hearing the first few notes of that well known theme, my friend and I both gasped fairly loudly while I sang along to Thorin's song. Yes, I have watched the trailer so many times that I know the song-don't hate.)
Keep in mind that I am a teenaged girl captivated by beautiful scenery, Josh H. and mythology along with a crazy obsession for books. At the beginning, a page is ripped out of three books and I screamed at the horror of it, not even joking. I don't care if you do need it for a map, you don't just go ripping pages out of books!!!
Anyway, here I will end because its getting kinda late and I have had a long day. So long!
