Video: Widescreen 1.78 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: English Stars:Plot: Brendan Fraser stars in this action-packed adventure based on the Jules Verne classic that is sure to deliver fun for the whole family! On a hunch to find the center of the earth, Trevor Anderson (Fraser), his nephew and their tour guide make a breakthrough discovery that launches them on a thrilling journey into the unknown. On a scramble to find their way back, the group travels through a never-before-seen world, encountering creatures and objects never imagined. Whether in 3-D with glasses or in 2-D, get close to the action, engage your sense of wonder and take your own journey to the center of the earth! Awards:
Extras: 2D and 3D versions of the film. Commentary Featurettes Scene Access My Thoughts: You can clearly see, that the plot is merely an excuse to use as many 3D effects as possible. Without the 3D effects, this movie is not worth watching. The 3D effects themselves are good, but suffer from the home theatre 3D technology. Though I did enjoy them. The brain is a funny thing. It gets accustomed to the color filters to make some sense of the colors it sees. After I have taken off the glasses after the movie, each eye did still see in different colors if I closed the other eye. A few minutes after the movie, one eye still saw everything in green, the other in red. Both together have seen everything normally. I never would have noticed this, if my brother hadn't pointed it out to me. Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on January 9th, 2010) "Due South" marathon, a review by Tom2.14 All The Queen's Horses (1996-04-11) Writer: Paul Haggis (Created By), Paul Gross (Story By), John Krizanc (Story By), Paul Quarrington (Story By), Paul Gross (Screenwriter) Director: George Bloomfield Cast: Paul Gross (Constable Benton Fraser), David Marciano (Detective Ray Vecchio), Beau Starr (Lt. Harding Welsh), Tony Craig (Detective Jack Huey), Catherine Bruhier (Elaine), Camilla Scott (Inspector Margaret Thatcher), Leslie Nielsen (Buck Frobisher), Kenneth Welsh (Randal Bolt), Dean McDermott (Constable Turnbull), Alex Carter (Agent Ford), Paul Soles (Creeve), Gordon Pinsent (Fraser Sr.), Kirsten Kieferle (Cameraman/Racine), Mark Melymick (Deeter), Falconer Abraham (Team Leader), Scott Wickware (Terrorist/Albee), Kenneth Wickes (Train Conductor), Neil Foster (Computer Guy) This has always been one of my favorite episodes. It was written by Paul Gross who is playing Fraser. It is almost like a fanfiction. It combines everything a typical fanfiction would do. Integrating fan-favorite guest characters (Leslie Nielsen as Buck Forbisher, Fraser's ghost dad, the incompetent FBI agents from season 1). Acting out the sexual tension between Fraser and his boss by having them bound together. Sadly this episode marks the high-point of their relationship in this series. Paul Gross, who is also a singer/song writer in real life, managed to get one of his songs into the show (he will get another chance in season 3, but on the other hand, he will be the executive producer then). I enjoy both songs he got into the series and have both as mp3 and listen to them from time to time. Rating: (From "Due South" marathon on August 23rd, 2009) |
