Travel to the Center of the Earth There are not many films about time and space travel. Also, not a small number of them use the very principle of space-time continuum, parallel worlds and similar things. But very rarely it happens in such a comedic vein, as Brad Silberling shot.
To be honest, the director of the worst, in my opinion, fairy tales “Lemony Snicket: 33 Misfortunes”, and having behind the famous “Casper”, surpassed himself. And in the career of Will Ferrell, this film is one of the best, if not the most. With the help of this duo, against the background of everything else and everyone else, a crazy train in time is played out in a dimension unknown to man, where gramophones are played in dinosaur caves, where an ice creamer escapes from a herd of hungry reptiles, where crabs the size of the Titanic, and he himself is stuck in the sand purely for the sake of landscape. Well, evil slistaks, as they should, dream of taking over the universe.
You can blame the film for secondary, but all the quotes seen will have the character of banter and ridicule, everything is presented in a comedic way, and not for the purpose of copying ideas. Therefore, the originality of the combination of the incompatible should in itself cause nervous laughter from the ongoing delirium, in the good sense of the word. After all, other than the “crazy” plot simply can not be called, so everything is incredible and amazing that in the literal sense the spirit is breathtaking.
All the adventures of the heroes look in one breath, causing neither boredom nor yawning. The film is amazing and interesting. Most importantly, it’s an incredibly funny comedy! Humor jumps from stupid to jokes below the belt, but it is funny even for children, although adult jokes, swear words and theme of “tits” are presented here quite a lot. Literally every humorous episode causes a desire to applaud the idea, and especially our voiceover, which is simply magnificent and flawless.
The film is a fun marathon of episodes connected with a rather weak plot about the search for a missing device, and looks more like a kaleidoscope of humorous scenes and dialogues. From this perception becomes much easier, allows you to relax and take a fun attraction with a smile and adequate laughter at what is happening. The only regret is that the picture was not shot in 3D. And many scenes should be fixed precisely for jumping elements into the hall.
This is clearly not a masterpiece of comedies, for some it will be a one-time film, not causing the desire to hear all the humor again. Someone will spit with vulgarity, but this will not spoil the film. This is a really fun attraction, not claiming any loud ovations or awards, it will not become a masterpiece for centuries in the spirit of “Ghostbusters” and “Masks”. But it is very necessary to go to it, turn off the brain and just beat from the heart, naturally spending time. In addition, our voiceover really deserves praise, already someone and Svetlakov a huge thank you for the work done on the voiceover of the character Farrell. And all the writers a big bow for such a crazy plot and really funny humor.
