mikemdp So someone said, "Hey, the Jules Verne story is great, but you know what would make it REALLY great? Hot babes and machine guns!" And so, The Asylum, whose cheesy movies are much more charming than their IMDb reviews suggest, rewrites the classic story, adds lots of heaving breasts and firepower, throws in the same t-rex and giant spider they put in practically all their movies, and creates another time waster that's really no worse than that Brendan Fraser big-budget nonsense.And really, I more resent shelling out my hard-earned money for blatant audience contempt like the Brendan Fraser movie than I do the five bucks I paid for this one, (1) because it's unapologetically cheesy and doesn't trick me into thinking it's anything else, and (2) because it came in a $5 DVD set with five other cheesy movies, so the cost to me was really less than a buck plus the time to watch it. A bargain, I say.But I agree with other reviewers here that it needed some topless and/or babe-babe kissing scenes to make it a classic. With The Asylum, though, it's all about the teasin' and not about the pleasin'.

Quentin Zwerenzino Well, of course, this one's bad. Not as bad as other "Asylum"-movies, though. My luck was I first watched it with German dub. The voices seem to fit better to the characters and lets them act way better than in the "original". For a low budget movie, the monsters are okay, of course not on a ILM-level, but okay. You shouldn't expect too much out of this one, it's a lower-than-low-budget cheap c-movie rip-off of flicks like "Jurassic Park" or "Journey to the center of the earth". This one isn't made for movie critics, its made just for people like me who enjoy watching these cheap d-movies.So give it a try if you into cheap monster movies. You got nothing to lose: Dumb story, bunch o pretty nice gals, monsters, more monsters and monsters who go after these pretty gals. Oh, and did I mention the monsters? I think this one is rated so bad because it has become some kind of "standard" to bash the Asylum-movies, but this one really isn't as bad as "Megapiranha" or this VERY STUPID "Megashark"-thingy.

garyzim Oh. My. Gosh. This is one embarrassment of a movie. The dialog, the acting, the special effects and props. Bad bad bad.I would love to know the back story about getting it released. What were they thinking? Maybe someone needed a tax write off. I can't imagine any other reason that it made it past two days of production, and certainly not to release..When I saw them using a vegetable steamer as a prop radio antenna, I was so amused I added another star, just for the hilarious factor. Oh, and this movie subscribes to the theory that glasses mean you are SMART (even if they are prop glasses with no corrections).Be sure to read the reviews, which are much more entertaining than the movie. Maybe watch this with friends and do your own Mystery Science Theater 3000 thing. A few margaritas won't hurt. Steam some veggies.

ctomvelu1 Barely a movie, this version of Jules Verne's classic tale has a bunch of alleged female soldiers, who look more like a bunch of college babes attired in wife-beaters, accidentally transported to the center of the Earth. Only the center of the Earth looks remarkably like Hawaii. A rescue team is sent after them, manned by Greg "Me and the Bear" Evigan, who somehow got very old overnight. A T-Rex shows up to keep the girls on their toes, along with a very large spider. But we spend way too much time in the girls' company, listening to their inane chatter(some of which appears to have been later looped) and watching their uniformly bad acting. A little girl-on-girl action or shirt doffing might have helped. Alas, we get neither. A little comedy also might have helped. Alas, the movie is played dead-serious. This truly is as close to a non-movie as I am yet to see at age 60.
