New 'Journey to Center of the Earth 3D' Trailer Maintains Stupidity Quotient


From iwatchstuff, While acclaimed blockbuster directors like Robert Zemeckis and James Cameron attempt to legitimize digital 3-D as a tool to more fully immerse the audience in their world, there is a lone voice fighting to maintain the sheer novelty of the craft. That voice comes from one Brendan Fraser, straight-faced and shouting "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the center of the earth" from the 3-dimensional caverns of the 3-dimensional earth's core in Journey of the Center of the Earth 3D. But he might as well be shouting, "Take that, 3-d legitimacy! Look at this dinosaur jumping at you purely for shock value!" As far as I can tell from this second trailer, the plot is still "anything that would look cool 3-D, narrated by Brendan Fraser," and the characters serve the same purpose as the Hulk portraits surrounding a Six Flags roller-coaster: flat, lifeless backgrounds to a vapid thrill ride. But since it's all in the name of keeping 3D stupid, I'll forgive it.

Somehow I'm still incensed that this movie isn't Land of the the Lost.
