(2012) Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
FANTASY ADVENTURE/ COMEDY.
Doesn't seem like a sequel to the 2008 movie "Journey to The Center Of The Earth" starring Brendon Fraser which the only cast member coming back for this second is Josh Hutcherson as Sean living with stepdad Hank played by Dwayne Johnson who has just picked Sean up from a mischief charge, and is trying to make up to him by going along with his so-called journey by helping him search for the so-called "Mysterious Island" to look for his grandfather and "Vern expert" played by Michael Cain.
There's some things that haven't been done before which history has been somewhat altered for the convenience of this movie such as the sinking "Atlantis", and combining three different books to make one map. This film has it's moments as well as touch on some things never seen before. Riding on top of bees was inspired by those Pod racers in Return Of The Jedi.
2.5 out of 4.
