The 3-D movie ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ isn’t deep, but it hard to imagine having more fun in the theater this summer.

Sure, there are plot points that are hard to swallow. People fall hundreds of miles and survive? No way. A beautiful Icelandic woman who lives alone in a shack in the middle of nowhere? Right. A surly kid? Oh, wait.

The key is to put on your 3-D glasses, turn off your brain and enjoy the ride.

Once the adventurers descend, the action is non-stop. Be warned, though. Creepy things that might scare kids under 10 years old live down there — and you will come face-to-face with them.

The filmmakers wisely use the 3-D effects to create a breathtaking view of the world within our world. The imagery is creative and cool.

Brendan Fraser is a like-able kind of guy who plays a scientist. I don’t know if he is a genius, but he’s smart enough to star in what’s sure to be a big summer hit.
