Trivia:
Indie film maker Paul Chart ('American Perfekt') was originally signed to write and direct the picture and penned the original script. Chart left the project, however, after a decision was made to shoot the film in 3-D, uncomfortable with the possibility it would become more 'theme park ride' than the epic action-adventure film he envisioned. The Jules Verne novel was apparently one of his favorite pieces of literature. Chart was ultimately replaced with effects specialist Eric Brevig and the script was heavily retooled to emphasize the new 3-D format. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: A steam geyser capable of lifting a boat with 3 passengers several hundred meters would scald the passengers to death. moreFAQ

While the 3D special effects were cool, they don't add anything to the bad writing and acting. The storyline was terribly predictable and bland, basically throwing in everything a 7 year old would love to see, whether it makes sense in the story or not. It leaves many questions unanswered, so its best to not question it and just accept that its all founded purely on imagination. Fraser, while his acting was mediocre in this movie (compared to his other work that i enjoyed much more) it was still a highlight for me. Hutcherson, however, seems to ruin every scene he's in with his either lack of expression or over-acting. Something about it just seems so unnatural and dissonant. If you're 6 and like to see good 3D effects, no matter what the movie is, i would suggest this movie. If you're anybody else, don't waste your time.
