Die Reise zur geheimnisvollen Insel (2012)
39KDie Reise zur geheimnisvollen Insel: Directed by Brad Peyton. With Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Luis Guzmán. Sean Anderson partners with his mom’s husband on a mission to find his grandfather, who is thought to be missing on a mythical island.
“Not so much a sequel as a new story altogether comes this likable (if unnecessary) adventure about Sean Anderson, a callow youth and u0026quot;Vernianu0026quot; who receives an encoded message then becomes obsessed with the idea that it was sent by his absentee grandfather who may or may not have discovered a mythical island that may or may not really exist. Accompanied by his stepfather, a frugal pilot, and the pilotu0026#39;s attractive daughter, Sean travels across the Pacific to the island where they encounter an assortment of wonders but just as many dangerous perils. Uninspired, fairly predictable, but Johnson and Caine add much needed gravitas, Guzmán his trademark comic relief, thereu0026#39;s some good effects and exciting moments now and again, but a subplot about parents and their kids doesnu0026#39;t really resonate. A good family-oriented fare, just nothing special. **”
