Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012)
I actually didn’t know this when I watched it, but Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is the sequel to the 2008 remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Brendan Fraser didn’t come back, but Josh Hutcherson did, and the story follows him as he and his stepfather, Dwayne Johnson, go to the famed “Mysterious Island” and meet up with his long-lost grandfather, Michael Caine.
If you’re expecting a lighthearted kid’s flick, you’ll be very entertained while watching this movie. It’s got some incredible special effects that immerse you in the environment; every time there’s a Mysterious Island movie, I love seeing the gigantic plants and animals. Josh is sweet and easy to root for, and Dwayne is given some pretty funny comic relief bits. And who wouldn’t love travelling to an exotic fantasy island with Michael Caine as their guide? It’s a very fun movie, if you don’t mind seeing Michael playing grandfather to a teenager, and has a lot to offer for everyone in the family. While lots of movies claim to be “fun for all ages” and are really only enjoyable to toddlers, this one can truly be watched by the whole group. Grown-ups will be entertained by the grown-up actors, teens will be interested in Josh and his romance with Vanessa Hudgens, and the little ones will be awed by the scenery.
