Journey 2 - The Mysterious Island (2012)
Some scary scenes and mild coarse language
| Director: | Brad Peyton |
| Actors: | Josh Hutcherson, Dwayne Johnson, Vanessa Hudgens, Michael Caine, Kristen Davis, Luis Guzman |
The new journey begins when young adventurer Sean (Josh Hutcherson) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist—a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson) joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

A fun family movie

Moderate kids movie if Indiana Jones are all booked
Matthew B.
says
Good, harmless fun with a surprisingly comedic job by Dwayne Johnson. The premise is undone by completely unrealistic plot twists.
Lisa
says
this movie is full of adventure - the kids enjoyed watching it as well.

Noel

Not quite what I expected, possibly more targeted at a younger audience, however well worth a watch
Heather
says
very cheesy movie but definately watchable
Steve
says
The kids watched five minutes and left as they said it was boring. The movie dragged out a bit and had the standard cliches. First one was passable, this one ok, but glad I did not pay big bucks at the movie cinema

Totally Excellent film.
I hope there is going to be a Journey 3
My kids who are 5 and 7 watched it with me and they loved it.
Tina
says
Kids enjoyed it. Good family entertainment. Effects were entertaining.
Sonia
says
Definitely not a fan of this one. I am a 'Rock' fan but this movie really wasn't that good and I wouldn't even show it to kids. Disappointing.
courtney
says
great family movie, especially for young kids
Janette
says
Too over the top for me. First one much better. Did enjoy the interaction between Johnson and Caine. They looked like they had fun making the moving.
Kristina
says

Margit

joffa
says
i found this title worthwhile, maybe a bit 'kiddy' but entertaining all the same
andrea
says
so very disappointing.The first one with Brendan Fraser was so much better.There was some funny banter between The Rock and Michael Caine,but the movie on a whole was lacking something,it left you wanting more,more action,more story.The first one i could watch again and again,which i have done.I wouldn't bother watching this one again,just very bland
David Rochow
says
Not really my cup of tea but worth a watch
Johnson
says
Not bad, if a little silly. It's just a shame the lead teenager is such a prat (note to casting directors: pleeese stop giving him work!).
VJP
says
It wasn't bad. I liked it. 3D was OK. Much more of an adventure film than the first film (Journey to the Centre of the Earth). It combines many classics like 'The Mysterious Island', 'Treasure Island', '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' and 'Gulliver's Travels'.
Dwayne Johnson gets a little annoying as he seems to have the answer to everything that gets in their way.
Great effects, decent enough story line/easy to follow. A great adventure film that doesn't require much thinking.
