      Although the plot is old-fashioned, but there are quite a lot of flowers

      No. 1 went to catch the excitement and watched this movie. Originally, I was hesitant between the painted skin and it, but I saw that the audience in the front line had bought this movie, okay, even if you don't watch the movie, let's see the 3D effect.

      The plot is really as empty and old-fashioned as the previous film reviews, and everything is expected, but it still feels relatively compact, and the obstacles of various adventures in it do not feel conventional, and the effect is...

      Not worth 100 bucks

      If you go to the film museum to see the super-large screen IMAX (ancient monster), you will feel that the effect is quite different, because the screen size is too different. However, this film has a plot that has some advantages over the film museum. Looking at some phenomena from the perspective of earth science, I feel that I can't understand it for a while. For example, no matter how the magnet is turned, it hangs and does not move in a certain direction up and down; the air bubbles in the...

      Booked...I said it first

      The audience relationship of the actors makes up for the lack of storytelling. This should be a visual film full of shocking special effects, so watching it on a computer can't fully understand the essence of the film.
          Watching the tidbits, I have greatly revised the script for the effect of "Third Brother"... Compared with the plot, some storytelling will be removed and adventure actions will be added. So the characters are designed to be just three simple people, and the relationship...

      3-D feeling, cool!

      Just for 3-D, I got up early, went to Shuangjing, 35 yuan to get my 3-D dream. Haha, it can be said that the effect is still very satisfactory, because the pure purpose is 3-D.
        story plot? Didn't pay much attention! Haha, it's so superficial, what can you do to me? (Very rogue snickers)
        I just like the nervousness before being spat on, (although I can't help but close my eyes when I first came up, that regrets it! I suddenly felt that part of the money was wasted, haha, be...

      Experience 3D

      When I went to the cinema and sat down safely, my mood was disturbed by the feeling of becoming a "six-eyed frog". The four-eyed frog is already uncomfortable enough. With the addition of a very bulky glasses, I am a little bit broken, and the price of the ticket is overwhelming. 55 yuan can't be so wasteful.
          The movie started, and there were various exclamations of "hoo", "ah" and "wow" from time to time. I think this movie is one of the best movies I've seen this year. The plot is...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. The director and screenwriter of the film was originally determined by Paul Chatter, the director and screenwriter who has directed films such as "Conquer America". Paul also wrote the first draft for the film, but when the studio decided to use 3D technology to complete the film, Paul worried that it would make the film look more like a theme park tour than an action adventure, so he abandoned the project.
    2. After the film was...

    Shooting process

    The film was shot in Iceland and Canada. Due to the use of complete 3D production, except for the scenes of actors climbing icebergs, encountering blizzards, and running on snowy mountains in the film, which were shot in Iceland, the rest of the scenes were all shot in a large-scale photography in Montreal, Canada. Finished in a shed and a park. For example, all parts of the underwater world in the film were shot in the studio, while...

    Evaluation action

    The film "Journey to the Center of the Earth3d" uses 3d technology. It sells not suspense, reasoning, or even the original notable reputation. Everything inside has become a vassal of the visual appearance in the film. The dazzling technology and the most direct eye-catching with bizarre images are the true intentions of this film. Immersive and insightful spirits, riding on the railcar in the deep mine, roaring all the way, and...
