Brendan Fraser and company take a Journey to the Center of the Earth on July 11.

Should movie goers take a journey to the theater in order to see this family film? Let's ask a few film critics for their take on it...

- Probably has the highest screams-per-capita ratio in the history of action-adventure pics, and a better thrill-per-minute deal than most... -- Variety

- Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D feels like a visit to Frontierland, with boat rides, mine carts, and one heck of a log flume... -- Cinema Blend

- Brendan Fraser, one of few actors who doesn't condescend to light material or fears to be outmatched by it, is likable in this reimagining of Verne's classic, which is minimal in characters (only 3) and story but takes full advantage of the 3D format... -- Emanuel Levy

- As a 2-D movie, or inevitable DVD, it probably fails. As a 3-D experience, though, it rocks... -- L.A. Weekly
