Critics are suggesting that Journey to the Center of the Earth, starring Brendan Fraser, is as much a ride as it is a movie and that it should definitely be seen in 3-D. "Keep the lid on your Pepsi: You'll be doing some jumping," advises Rafer Guzmán in Newsday. Joe Morgenstern observes in the Wall Street Journal, "3D movies have an ironclad obligation to scare the audience with water squirted from hoses or tossed from buckets, and this one observes the convention with a vengeance." Lou Lumenick of the New York Post calls it "the most entertaining 3-D movie I've ever seen." And Michael Phillips in the Chicago Tribune describes it as "reassuringly cheesy and wholly enjoyable." But several critics advise that, in the end, it's really a movie for kids. Roger Ebert comments in the Chicago Sun-Times: "There may not be an 8-year-old alive who would not love it. If I had seen it when I was 8, I would have remembered it with deep affection for all these years, until I saw it again and realized how little I really knew at that age."
