Journey to the center of stoopid!!!

Ok, today is a review of the movie "Journey to the center of the earth" in 3-D and let me tell you the 3-D part is Wayyy over rated. I tried to watch this movie in 3-D using the 3_d glasses that were provided with the DVD. I was just disappointed first off buy the fact that it seems that the 3-d technology for home viewing has not progress at all. I can remember years ago when i was young, channel 11 had a special 3-D movie that the showed. It was "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" in 3-D. What you would do is go to 7-11 and get your 3-D glasses (I can't remember if they were free or not but I remember getting a pair) and then you would watch the movie. Now mind you, "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" was a black and white movie and they just added the stereoscopic 3-D effect to it and I remember enjoying it. fast forward to today and guess what, they used the SAME 3-D effect which is a pair of cardboard glasses with one eye thats red and the other eye which is green. NOTHING HAS CHANGED!! I started to watch JTTCOTE (Journey to the center of the earth for short) and it was really difficult to watch the movie with the glasses, and I don't feel that they did such a great job on the stereoscopic effect of the movie. after the first 10 minutes of the movie I just decided to flip the DVD over and watch the rest of the movie in regular old 2-D. I can tell you that the move unfortunately didn't get any better. I like Brendan Fraser, but this movie was really disappointing. I don't want to give away anything but when you have an animal guiding you through out the adventure like it was Lassie, it's time to call it a day.

I warned you!
