Genres: Action | Adventure | Comedy

Director: Brad Peyton

IMDB Movie Rating: 6.1/10

Metacritic Rating: 41/100

Rottentomatoes Rating : 42%

The movie is the sequel of the Journey to the Center of the Earth. Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) receives a coded signal from the Mysterious Island from his grandfather. The story of the movie is completely different from the first one and its only similarities are the author of the books. . The adventures of Andersons continue in this movie.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is visually stunning through its 3D effects, colourful scenarios and amazing visualizations. The movie is really for all ages which mean that there are neither sex scenes nor violent sequences

I like the story between Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and his stepson Sean, who falls in love to Vanessa Hudgens. The movie will be enjoyed by both kids and adults.

I like the sense of humor of “The Rock” which was pretty funny and enjoyable. This is really a kid’s movie.

I would love to watch Journey 3! The movie is worth your money and time! Fantastic!

If you like the movie Avatar, Star Wars and Indiana Jones then you will surely like this movie. The movie showcases different visual plots and effects. If you want to improve your imagination about the picture of Mars, this is a must-watch movie for you.

Taylor Kitsch did a great job in portraying John Carte in the bigger screen. You will like his attitude and personality in the movie.
