eye Weekly Jason Anderson Less a scientific expedition than a geologically themed amusement-park ride, their subterranean trip offers plenty of opportunities for acts of derring-do but few surprises. While tykes won’t mind so much — T. Rex spit always thrills the primary-school crowd — grown-ups already spoiled by the quality of Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E this summer may grow fussy and listless. Be ready to placate them with extra snacks. | 5 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Remove a star from the rating if you take this Journey without wearing 3-D glasses. That's where the real fun comes in. Otherwise you have a family-friendly retelling of Jules Verne's 1864 novel in a romp that is lazily content to connect the dots instead of breaking new ground. | 13 | |
