Viaggio al centro della Terra

Of course many will argue that the original is always the best, and I'm not denying that it isn't. I just think this version on the Jules Verne classic was not that far behind the original.

However, the special effects could stand to be a bit better, I might just think that compared to "Jurassic Park", but I guess they had to stick to the TV film budget.

Most of the characters in the film were portrayed excellently. Treat Williams playing Theodore Lytton, brought across his character's feelings for Alice beautifully, whether concealing it or not. Jonas Lytton, Theodore's nephew was played by Jeremy London. Jonas was definitely my favourite character, he represented the heart and the youth in this film. His infatuation with Ralna(Petra Jared)was at times adorable. Petra Jared and Jeremy London had an incredible chemistry, some scenes were hilarious and some were romantic.

The plot in the film is followed mostly to the book. The film is not up there with the original, but what film is eg. The remake of "Psycho" was nowhere near as good as the original. However, this TV remake proves to be almost as good.
