Journey 2: The Mysterious Island [Blu-ray] [2012]

My family and I enjoyed the first "Journey" film, so we had high hopes for this second installment. We have concluded that this film doesn't live up to the story quality of the original. It felt to me like the movie was made for the sole purpose of showcasing its 3D special effects. While the effects are well done, the story seems to have been sacrificed in the process. It isn't a bad film, but it isn't particularly good either. Unfortunately, Journey 2 won't receive a coveted place on our family's favorite films list.

I loved this movie! Great visuals, good plot and descent acting combined with some of the best 3D I've seen on Blu Ray. Overall, it's a very entertaining experience, though it was a bit too short. It also seemed to be a little too kid friendly at times. Nonetheless, this movie is a great addition to my 3D collection. Film Experience: 4 of 5 3D Experience: 5 of 5

When I say eye candy, I'm not referring to the actors specifically - I'm referring to the colors and 3D effects.If you're expecting good acting, a great plot, etc. then find another movie to watch. This one doesn't have it. What it does have - and is worth buying for - is visual appeal. It excels in the 3D arena (although bordering on gimmicky at times) and the colors are bright and vivid. This movie is a visual treat!

The movie has a bit of interesting research on 19th century fiction, particularly by Jules Verne, which is the basis for the story, which is however, entirely new, and had big name actors to boot. The story is creative and family friendly, if with its occasional gross side (Hollywood can't seem to leave a clean story alone). I think it's worth the risk!

Excellent bargain for this family featured movie. It contained moments that allowed you to experience various emotions...from lauther, scary and jumpy...down to sad and worried moments. Enjoyable from beginning to end. Left us satisfied, yet still yearning for MORE! Always a treat to see Dwayne Johnson, a great very handsome and outstanding actor.

If you like 3D movies, you'll love this one. There are some amazing 3D scenes. The actors are great. If you're a fan of The Rock, you'll love him in this movie. Although the movie is different than the first one, you still kind of know where it's going. However, don't let that deter you from seeing it...especially in 3D!!

We had movie night with friends and the young ones (4 years old) thought the movie was scary. However, the movie has suspense and wonder and is enjoyable for most older kids.

This is a fun movie to watch, because the 3D is really good. Kids will enjoy this movie, too. But for adults, the plot is pretty lame and the acting is what you expect from the Rock. I recommend this movie IF all you want is some escapist fun 3D viewing.
