Synopsis: Sean Anderson (Hutcherson) is a Vernian, i.e. believes that the stories told in Jules Verne's book happened for real. After receiving a radio message from his grandfather (Caine), he will team up with his step-dad (Johnson) to go look for him on a mysterious island.
Review: This movie should not be taken seriously. From the beginning when they solve the riddle for locating the island in thirty seconds, through the whole film with poor special effects, bad jokes, unbelievable discoveries... It is obviously made for kids, who don't ask questions. "The Rock" Johnson is sometimes funny but otherwise useless. There is also an obvious intend to seduce an older audience by continuously showing Vanessa Hudgens in tight shorts running, crawling or with a wet T-shirt. A succession of predictable action scenes and cheap father/son psychology. As I said, it is OK to watch if you don't take it seriously.
