2/10
Read the Book
7 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
If you are expecting to see a great adaptation that is faithful to the book by Jules Verne (as the title implies), do not watch this film.

If you want to see the book by Jules Verne mashed up with time-travel elements from "Lost," but done on a shoestring budget and without any character development, do watch this film.

I might have given it 4/10 except that is it that disrespectful to the classic novel and is almost unable to capture anything worthwhile from the book. Had they stuck to the original story instead of treating it as a stepping off point, the film would have been greatly improved. As it is, it's a b-movie with hokey SFX that is left this viewer greatly unsatisfied.
