Review: Journey 2 – The Mysterious Island
Some years after the original Journey to the Center of the Earth, Josh Hutcherson returns (without Brendan Fraisier or whoever played his sister) to the second movie. This one is about finding Verne’s mysterious island, also known as the island of the Liliputans, Treasure Island and probably Laputa as well.
I have to say, I kinda liked the previous Journey. It was kitschy and kiddy but kind of cute and fun and a good use of the 3D tech. This one however was so silly and dumb that I wanted to punch pretty much every single character. The motivations and mechanics of plot are illogical. It seems that every character is more stupid than the last and pretty much nothing makes sense.
It basically looks like they had great fun writing it and great fun making it but nothing else. Skip it. And probably the one that will be coming in 2014.
