In an era where CGI spectacle was beginning to feel like homework, 2008’s Journey to the Center of the Earth did something unexpected: it had fun.

Brendan Fraser, at the height of his action-comedy charm (post- The Mummy , pre- Oscar ), stars as Trevor Anderson, a slightly disgraced volcanologist.
