the funny sound that you may hear when you eyeball this execrable version of jules verne classic journey to the center of the earth be verne spin in his grave . the only thing about this 80 minute opus that have anything to do with journey to the center of the earth be the title . otherwise and everything else in this lackluster production be new and not worth watch . in fact and the director have write here at imdb . com that he direct only eight minute of journey to the center of the earth and the studio tack on part of dollman helmer albert pyun sequel to his own alien from l. a. with kathy ireland . evidently and the producer run out of money and to satisfy overseas contractual obligation and they graft pyun sequel onto director rusty lemorande movie . please and do not rent or buy this wretched piece of garbage . unlike director henry levin period piece journey to the center of the earth ( 1959 ) with james mason and pat boone and lemorande journey to the center of the earth take place in contemporary time in hawaii . two fellow and a british nanny and and a dog be bring together for the adventure of a lifetime purely by coincidence . richard ( paul carafotes of blind date ) and his comic book obsess brother bryan ( ilan mitchell smith of weird science ) be go out to explore a cave . the heroine and crystina ( nicola cowper of underworld ) and work for a domestic service call nanny r u . be a nanny have be crystina life long dream and but she have make a less of all five of her nanny job . nevertheless and her sympathetic supervisor and ms. ferry ( lynda marshall of africa express ) and send her to hawaii . crystina new client and rock star billy foul ( jeremy crutchley of doomsday ) who be schedule one last concert to revive his flag career and have a dog name bernard . foul want crystina to take bernard to a doggie day spa . crystina be wait on the arrival of her taxi when a careless motel attendant accidentally put the basket that conceals bernard in richard jeep . you see and foul have hide his canine in a basket because motel management strictly prohibit pet on their premise . foul have disguise the dog a a human baby . anyway and crystina catch a cab and tell the driver follow richard . after she catch up with them to get her dog and the cabbie cruise away and abandon her . crystina demand that richard drive her back to town and but he have other plan . unhappily and crystina join the guy and they get lose and and then find themselves in the lost city of atlantis and a police state rule by a dictator and at the center of the earth . the ruler of atlantis repeatedly notify their citizen that life on the surface do not exist . our hero and heroine stumble onto atlantis quite by accident . atlantis resemble a disco and everybody look like they be straight out of a punk rock opera . the ruler of atlantis and general rykov ( janet du plessis of operation hit squad ) and be orchestrate a raid on the surface with clone of the first human and wanda saknussemm ( kathy ireland of necessary roughness ) and to visit atlantis . predictably and general rykov machination to rule atlantis and overthrow the earth fails and and our hero and heroine save the day . journey to the center of the earth be an abomination . the movie seem to be a comedy despite it superficial satire about dictatorship . albert pyun be one of my favorite low budget action director and but he blow it on this lightweight shamble of a science fiction saga .
