Oh dear

When a film is quite a good idea, it is a shame to see it executed badly. The idea behind this movie is a decent variation on Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth, but the film itself is laughably bad (and, from the timing, deliberately intended to cash in on the Brendan Fraser version).

There is so much wrong with this film that it is pointless (not to mention impossible) to list it all, but topping the list is the key mistake made with the original concept. The idea of having a bunch of hot chick soldiers in tight combat vests accidentally teleported to the centre of the earth - yes, I like it. But let's focus on that word "soldiers". Not "silly high school seniors", note, but "soldiers" ie. highly trained, well disciplined, resourceful and, yes, hard etc.. You never for a second believe that these silly twittery girls are soldiers.

Oh, and the acting is bad, except for Jason S Gray as General Marks, who is truly abominable.
