The Jules Verne novel serves as a factual guidebook for a week of uncle-nephew bonding. The 3-D effects can be a bit crude (twice we get spat in the face, once drooled in the face), and it takes a while to reach the fun stuff (the flying fish, the flesh-eating plants, the floating rocks, the lone dino), but at least the fun stuff is fun. With Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, and Anita Briem; directed by Eric Brevig. (2008) — Duncan Shepherd
