Journey 2 - The Mysterious Island

I read stories of author Jules Vernes as a child. His adventure stories have enchanted many children in many generations. In 2008, Brendan Fraser took us on a Journey To The Center Of The Earth, a sort of updated version of Jules Vernes book. And here we are, with a sequel, but this time around with a new cast, except for Josh Hutcherson. Is this adventure worth watching for the whole family, or is this a typical Disney product?

Sean Anderson ( Josh Hutcherson ) is arrested by police while trying to escape, from a satellite research center. He is escorted home with his stepfather Hank Parsons ( Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson ). Hank finds out that Sean tried to access a signal broadcast, wich he belives comes from his grandfather Alexander Anderson ( Michael Caine ), who have discovered a secret island. Hank does not belive this is true, untill he finds a paper with codes. It turns out these codes can tell them where the island is located. Sean decide to travel to the island, located in Palou. Hank goes with him, just to spend some time together. They manage to find the island, while crashing in a heavy storm, but this island keeps many secrets.

The ultimate adventure movie of all time, has to be Raiders Of The Last Ark, where Indiana Jones became a legend in movie characters. Journey 2 is nowhere near as good as this, but for a family adventure movie, this is a pretty good choice. Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson and Michael Caine is a charming duo on screen, not the typical actors you would think of in this genre. What i enjoyed most is the 3D effects, there is actually alot of 3D effects wich makes this adventure more fun to watch. Journey 2 may not give us anything fresh, but as a family movie it delivers some fun moments. And if you never heard Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson sing, you´re in for a suprise.
