Journey To The Center Of The Earth
He has a knack for these adventure movies as he has in the Mummy movies, and the kid who plays his nephew Sean link up for family time to uncover some of the mysteries of the notes Seans father left in his journey to find a Lost land.
They decipher the notes and their adventure takes them to Iceland where they meet the other member of this trilogy a mountain climber who has the energy and smile to melt any glacier and keep up with the boys.
During a scientific expedition in Iceland, visionary scientist Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and their beautiful local guide, Hannah (Anita Briem), are unexpectedly trapped in a cave from which their only escape is to go deeper and deeper into the depths of the Earth.
happy digging!!

Goofs
- Factual errors: Hannah Ásgeirsson is a man’s name. In Iceland, a person’s last name is derived from their father’s first name. Her father, Sigurbjörn Ásgeirsson, is the son of Ásgeir. Her last name would be Sigurbjörnsdóttir, daughter of Sigurbjörn. Plus, no Icelandic word or name ends with an H. Therefore, her name should be Hanna Sigurbjörnsdóttir.
- Factual errors: Twice, the explorers run across veins of free metallic magnesium in the ground. Magnesium is extremely active chemically, and is only found in compounds.
- Continuity: When Trevor Anderson looks at the book in his flat, the front cover reads Journey to the Center of the Earth. Moments later, as he is flicking through the same book, the page headings read Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
- Continuity: Over the course of the movie, the main characters leave their backpacks behind only to have them suddenly reappear in the next scene. For example, when they get to the bottom of the tunnel after the mine, they drop their bags and walk through an opening without them. Several minutes later they are seen walking with them.
- Continuity: In the scene where Sean is laying on the “beach” after being carried across the ocean by the kite, when he is laying down, he is shown to have gloves on. In the next shot, as he is standing up, the gloves are gone. In the next shot, he is taking the gloves off and in the next shot, they have disappeared again as he begins to follow the bird.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the characters are jammed up next to a wall of water with magma rising, they try to light some magnesium in order to blow the wall away and superheat the water with the rising magma. At the same time, in each level down, the magnesium was “too wet” to light, causing Trevor to go lower and lower. First, why would the walls still be wet with a very hot heat source underneath it? Second, why not just wait for the magma to reach the lowest magnesium point, which would accomplish the same purpose?
- Continuity: The sweat on Trevor’s, Sean’s, and Hannah shirt, from the giant mushrooms and up to the “sunset” scene on the beach, keeps disappearing and reappearing.
- Continuity: In the scene where the explorers end their exciting ‘ride’ in the mine, Hannah rolls over and has a loop of the rope over her right breast. Seconds later, the rope is gone.
- Continuity: As Trevor is looking through the book in his flat, as the shot jumps from in front of him to the over-the-shoulder view, he is reading a different page in each shot.
- Factual errors: A steam geyser capable of lifting a boat with 3 passengers several hundred meters would scald the passengers to death.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The mountain guide wears skin-tight jeans, which no professional guide or capable climber would do. Denim is strong and resists abrasion, but tight-fitting clothes don’t retain heat well and restrict movement.
- Factual errors: A rock wall contains raw diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. The diamonds are clear and already cut. They should look like dull yellow pebbles.
- Factual errors: One character finds himself walking across a chasm on magnetic rocks that float on a horizontal plane and bump off one another like bits of flat wood. Magnetic poles either attract or repel, so the rocks should either snap together or repel from one another, spin, then snap together. Even if large, flat magnetic rocks somehow found a natural equilibrium between their weight and magnetism, the weight of a person walking on them would destroy it.
- Continuity: After falling down a huge tunnel filled with water, despite being soaked to the skin, Trevor’s version of his “Journey to the center of the Earth” book is completely undamaged. Even his brother’s notes survive.
