What is the story about?
Trevor Anderson
(Brendan Fraser) is a Bostonian volcanologist whose 13-year-old nephew, Sean
(Josh Hutcherson), is supposed to spend ten days with him. When Sean's mother
drops him off, she leaves Trevor with a box of items that belonged to Max,
Trevor's brother and Sean's father, who disappeared 10 years before. Sean
suddenly takes interest in what Trevor has to say after he tells him about his
father, whom he never really had a chance to know. Among the items in the box
is the novel A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. Inside the
book, Trevor finds notes written by his late brother. At Trevor's laboratory,
the two learn there is a new dot on his radar device on Snæfell, an extinct
volcano in Iceland. Trevor goes to Iceland to investigate, and Sean goes with
him.
They start by looking
for another volcanologist named Sigurbjörn Ásgeirsson and instead find his
daughter Hannah Ásgeirsson, the scientist having died years earlier. It turns
out that Sigurbjörn Ásgeirsson and Max Anderson were Vernians, a small group
who believe the works of Jules Verne to be fact. Hannah offers to help them
climb up to the radar device.
While hiking the
mountain, a lightning storm forces the three into a cave that collapses,
leaving them trapped. They find it is an abandoned mine. They venture further
into the mine, eventually reaching the bottom of a volcanic tube which is full
of precious gems. As they are admiring the gems they realize the floor they're
standing on is actually muscovite, a very thin layer of rock formation. The
muscovite breaks, and the group falls through the volcanic tube towards the
center of the earth, surviving only because the volcanic tube eventually turns
into something like a "water slide" which drops them into a lake.
There, they find that the center of the Earth is actually another world
contained within the Earth.
The group continues
seeking a way back to the surface. Along the way, they find evidence that
someone was there 100 years previously. Trevor remarks that the instruments
found are Lidenbrock's (a character from the Jules Verne book), hinting that
his views of the events of the book being real are changing. They find some of
Max's things as well, such as his water bottle and his journal. While Trevor
and Sean are going through what they've found, Hannah wanders off and
unfortunately discovers Max's body.
They bury him on the
beach of the underground ocean and Trevor reads a letter to Sean found in Max's
journal about how it was Sean's birthday that day and how Max thought he would
never be there to give his son his first baseball glove. They then say their
goodbyes and hug each other. Trevor also discovers that his brother died due to
dehydration because of the Magma surrounding the center of the Earth.
Using Max's advice
from his journal, Trevor figures that they must find a geyser that can send
them to the surface, which is located on the other side of the underground
ocean, or else the temperature will rise up to 200 °F, making it impossible to
survive. They must reach the geyser in 48 hours or all of the water to create
the geyser will have evaporated. They build a raft and begin crossing the
underground ocean, but soon encounter a pack of Xiphactinus, so they use
makeshift baseball bats to bat them away, until the arrival of a shoal of
Elasmosaurus. After the fish attack, the raft's sail becomes loose, and Sean
tries to hold on, but is blown away and becomes separated from the two adults.
Sean's guide is now a
little bird who has been present since the trio entered the center, and it
takes him towards the river. He then goes walking, but trips and finds out he
is in a magnetic field. Next he goes through a path of floating magnetic rocks;
he almost falls down, but is able to hang on. Meanwhile, Trevor and Hannah
decide to split up to find him. Sean wanders on to find a dry bone-filled land.
He hears roars and hides behind a rock. Drool falls next to him, and Sean looks
up, to encounter a Giganotosaurus which drools on top of him and his face, and
comes after him. Sean runs, but the dinosaur is faster. It finds him, and he
yells and cries for help. Trevor – who has desperately been searching for him –
finds him. The beast pursues them until they discover that the ground beneath
them is muscovite, the same type as earlier. The dinosaur falls through the
muscovite, creating a massive hole, and dies in the process. They get to a
river and find Hannah, using another Giganotosaurus skull as a boat. They sail
until they end up at a volcano with magma rising. They feel cold water on the
other side of a magnesium wall.
Trevor uses a flare to
ignite the magnesium in the wall and causes a geyser to shoot them through
Mount Vesuvius in Italy, where they destroy the vineyard of an Italian man;
Sean gives him a diamond that he found earlier to say sorry. Trevor sees that
he has many more in his backpack, and he uses them to fund his brother's
laboratory. Throughout the adventure, Hannah and Trevor gradually become close
and even share a kiss. Sean visits Trevor and Hannah in their new home, which
was purchased with some of the diamonds Sean took from the cave. Trevor hands
Sean a copy of the book Atlantis: The Antediluvian World by Ignatius L.
Donnelly, suggesting they could maybe hang out during Sean's Christmas break,
alluding to a possible sequel. Sean then reveals that he has brought the little
bird back from the center of the Earth to keep as a pet.

What do you think about that movie?
This is a very
interesting movie. It gives us many knowledge about this world. About ancient
qnimal, about volcano, etc. The animation is good by the way.
