Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
2012
**½
Director: Brad Peyton
Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Vanessa Hudgens, Luis Guzmán, Kristin Davis

Four years have passed since the events in Journey to the Center of the Earth. With the help of his stepfather Hank, 17-year-old Sean deciphers the coordinates of Jules Verne's Mysterious Island, and the two travel to the location. Like the original, this sequel is a preposterous and formulaic but surprisingly entertaining family movie. Enjoy it while it last, but don't think about it for one second.
