I purposely bought this DVD as I'm a fan of low-budget movies. This Journey to the Center of the Earth is an attempt to cash-in on the blockbuster film starring Brendan Fraser.
This movie copies a few elements from the blockbuster, such as a T-Rex and man-eating plants. The script is alright and a little thrilling, but the performances and the visual effects stink.(obviously) So... Greg Evigan and Dedee Pfeiffer are an ex couple scientist who travel in a driller that resembles the Iron Mole from 'At the Earth's Core' for about half an hour of the whole movie to rescue a group of six FEMALE soldiers(??!!) who are accidentally teleported into the center of the earth when they are suppose to be in Germany. In there, the FEMALE soldiers(??!!) encounter man-eating T-Rexes, a swarm of giant alien-looking spiders, carnivorous snapping plants and other dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. The acting is atrocious, the editing is really bad(For instance, the scene of the plants only lasted about 30 mins!! Then the show another scene, which is confusing due to the horrible editing) but the special visual effects are mediocre. The T-Rex scenes was kinda disappointing as they only appear in the first parts of the film and not the climax.
Overall, the script is bad but still has enough fight scenes. The giant creature scenes are action-packed too. I do not really recommend this film but if you're a true low-budget movie fan, go for it
