Trivia:
The character name "Maxwell Anderson" (the late brother of Brendan Fraser's character) is an in-joke reference to the famous American playwright of that name, many of whose works have been filmed. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Hannah Ásgeirsson is a man's name. In Iceland, a person's last name is derived from their father's first name. Her father, Sigurbjörn Ásgeirsson, is the son of Ásgeir. Her last name would be Sigurbjörnsdóttir, daughter of Sigurbjörn. Plus, no Icelandic word or name ends with an H. Therefore, her name should be Hanna Sigurbjörnsdóttir. more

3D was the only good part, 27 July 2008
4/10
Author: tmcona-1 from United States

This movie was another movie in the long line of only good because their in 3D movies. The story and acting was awful, and it felt like I was watching a cheap imitation of Indiana Jones. Brendan Friser's charm can't win this one (hopefully the Mummy 3 is better). The script is just awful and the movie was boring 10 minutes in. The movie was only about 90 minutes and it felt like it dragged on for hours and hours. The plot and some of the things that happen are just stupid and almost like a farce even for a Verne novel. My best bet, don't spend the extra fee theaters are charging for this 3D waste. The 3D effects are awesome, but wasted in this golden turkey.
