(yes, that is indeed all I have to say. Nothing relevant here, sorry.)
I went and watched the movie this afternoon. I only saw the original once, many a year ago, so I didn’t have a lot of preconceptions about it.
Overall, it was an enjoyable movie, but I think they could have done a lot more with the “is it real?” notion. Despite the fact that most of the advertising campaign was focused on this angle, there was only really one scene with any kind of emphasis on the idea.
I’ve seen the original many times. This one made the original kind of seem like a spoof on sci-fi movies. This version is much more sci-fi…even though some of the science regarding traveling through the Earth’s core is VERY questionable. Better acting, better story and much better action. Also, there were actually a ton of subtle scenes about “is it real, is it memorex”. One scene will hit you over the head but most of it is subtle. Definitely recommend it.
