You won't be disappointed!
Sadly Over-hyped

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Yes I gave this movie (and I use the word movie loosely) a chance yesterday evening on Movie Mix. After half an hour of watching this mind numbing rubbish I started to contemplate what has my life become? The acting was wooden, special effects hopeless and dialogue was cringe worthy and laughable. From the scene where the Professor crashes his craft into that volcano to the scene when that big furry friendly monster 'Dallas' turns up, this film is terrible. The scene with that alien being strapped to a table doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway do not waste your time watching this movie it is absolute rubbish.
I saw this movie recently on late night cable. It has to be the worst adaptation of Verne's work ever. And to make it even worse, it has the stench of pilot all over it. The open ending leaves me in no doubt that someone intended this to become an ongoing series. Thankfully that didn't happen.The plot was a jumbled mess. The acting was bad. The science in the science fiction was non existent.Here's an example of the stupidity. They meet a yeti. He doesn't speak English so they quickly rig up a headset translator for him. After about a minute he takes the thing off and now can somehow speak English without it.
Wow, this is the worst movie I have ever seen. 3.3? No, more like a 0. Seriously, I have watched literally hundreds of movies that are considered 'bad.' But this one is the worst. It's not even funny bad, it's just bad, really really bad. I'm vomiting just thinking about it.These lines: "sonic bores blind folded" or, "I needed to make sure this ship survived, even if I didn't." Oh, there is the patented black guy, the bad guy in a suit, the old doctor, the 2 hot chicks, and the ugly one, the voiced over ship girl (T-Minus 10 minutes). Oh, and then there are the scenes where they talk to this girl in a floating orb, only none of the actors are even looking near the orb.God I have a headache now. I have to watch Bad Santa to feel better. Yea, that's what i'm going to do.
Hysterically awful TV update of the classic story clearly (or hopefully) wasted most of its budget on beer, because the special effects stretch to little more than a bloke in a bizarre furry white suit and a dizzily-whizzing, chirpy female head in a bubble (which may remind Brit viewers of a certain recent Building Society Ad). And F. Murray Abraham's in it! It's less than a decade since the Oscar, for God's sake, 'F'! But its fun. GREAT fun. Watch it AFTER the pub, as I'm ashamed to say I did not, and its a classic.
