Best 3-D Blu-ray movie!!!Oct 29, 2008
By Lynn When I saw this at the theater, I thought it was the best 3-D movie that I have ever seen. If you like amusement parks, this is the movie for you. It's good clean family fun! I was expecting it to be at least as good as Hannah Montana-Best of both worlds 3-D DVD but it blows that movie away. You use Red/Blue Anaglyph glasses for Hannah Montana but for Journey to the Center of the Earth you use Magenta/Green. WOW!!! What a difference on this movie. I tried using the red/blue glasses but they didn't work. I would say the 3-D effects (not talking about color) is as good as it can get without the huge screen. The things that are suppose to pop out at you really do. You can't expect the colors to be great because you are only using two color glasses so the colors won't be as good as the theater...but you don't notice it as much during darker scenes (when they are inside the earth) which is most of the movie. The surround sound was very good even though it does not have the TrueHD audio format...the rear speakers were very engaging. I will say that not everyone does well with 3-D some people get headaches but do those same people get headaches on amusement parks rides...if so this might not be good for you. For me, I love rides if it doesn't spin me around so for this DVD I highly recommend it on blu-ray.
*UPDATE* I now own a Samsung UN46C8000 3D HDTV and Samsung BD-C7900 3D blu-ray player and active shutter glasses...I can't wait until they come out with Journey to the Center of the Earth in real 3D blu-ray because the difference is beyond incredible. Now, I see full color and the clarity is amazing!!!

An Outstanding Blu ray releaseFeb 26, 2009
By Gregory Holmes
"DeCoteau Fan"
Amidst an ever increasing number of mediocre and lackluster Bluray releases it is nice to find one that lives up to the potential of the format and is worth paying the ridiculously elevated prices that Bluray currently commands. The movie itself is decent but the Bluray presentation is exceptional. Coming with a generous 4 pairs of glasses (and for those of you whining about only 4 pairs, please consider that 2 pairs have been the previous standard on 3D home releases) the 3D transfer is amazing with lots of dimensionality. This IS anaglyphic 3D but it is not the usual red and blue lenses. These glasses are a much lighter pink and green and eye strain typical of anaglyphic 3D is greatly reduced. Images fly off the screen and the film takes on a beautiful psychadelic color pallet unlike anything I have seen before. The 2D transfer also included on this disc is prestine with no film dirt or blemishes of any sort. The high def photography practically flys off the screen in the 2D version. The 5.1 audio mix is exceptional with plenty of surround effects for your rear speakers. Also included on the disc is an informative and entertaining commentary track from Bendan Fraser and director Eric Brevig. Three brief documentaries round out the disc that comes packaged in a 3D holographic cover. This is one Bluray release that really delivers and does not feel like an over priced rip off.

Great, considering the current limits of 3d.Feb 13, 2009
By Michael Sage I really thought it would be awesome to watch a movie in 3d AND HD...but unfortunately they havent come up with a way to provide a 3d experience at home without discoloration of the characters. Due to the glasses everything in the picture has a green tint. it kind of defeats the purpose of HD. all that aside, the movie is pretty good! I havent yet watched the 2d version, so i really cant review that aspect of the disc, but there are some neat 3d effects despite the green people.

Great kids movies 3D but Amazon has wrong description.Dec 23, 2009
By Andreas Alexandrakis
"aa350"
I ordered this from Amazon and twice they sent me the 2d version only.. After the second time I spoke to a Rep and he stated that after further investigation, Amazon only has the 2d version of this movie and when they get in the 3d Version they will send out e-mails to the costumers who called in and will allow you to repurc hase the correct one..
That is nice but STILL the wrong description is on their web site, they should at least correct that instead of steering new costumers in the wrong direction. Finaly I purchased the 3d version from Wal-mart and they also sent me the wrong disk 2d only but they quickly overnighted the correct one to me the 3d version.
All in all the kids love the 2d version and the 3D version on my 60" screen projection Tv.

3 Stars for the movie and 1 extra star because its in 3DNov 13, 2008
By W Johnston
"kkanos"
Lets face it. This movie is a fun popcorn flick for the whole family. The special effects are cool, but some of them are very obvious and a bit fake at times. The story is pretty basic, but has a lot of action. If you watch the regluar non 3D version I would give it a 3 out of 5, not great, but not bad either. HOWEVER, The 3D is what makes this movie extra fun and it was specifically designed to be a 3D movie as is evident by the cinematography. This movie is a great one to show off your blu-ray player to guests or when your kids have a sleep over.
Yes, the colors are obviously going to be distorted AFTER you put the glasses on, but its still in 3D. It takes about 5 minutes for your eyes to adjust to looking through the glasses. Then your eyes will start to color correct some of the distortion. Also, the start up screen tells you to brighten your flat screen as the glasses make the picture appear darker. I'll still take this version over the regular version any day, even IF the colors are distorted by the glasses.
You get 4 pairs of glasses with the movie. If you plan to show this to more than 4 people at a time in the future, do what I did and buy an extra few pairs on Amazon.com while they are still available. I searched Amazon.com using the words " journey center 3D glasses " . The extra pairs I bought from "3D Stereo" are the same exact glasses as the ones that come with the DVD (Magenta & Green lenses) and have the "Journey to the Center of the Earth artwork on them also.
