...Director: Eric Brevig Screenplay: Michael D. Weiss & Jennifer Flackett Novel: Jules Verne Genre: Action - Adventure - Family - Sci-Fi Country: USA Certification: 12+ Language: English Released: 3rd November, 2008 (DVD) MAIN CAST: Brendan Fraser (Pof. Trevor Anderson) Josh Hutcherson (Sean Anderson) Anita Briem (Hannah Ásgeirsson) As everyone already knows, this is a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake… all of them loosely based on Jules Verne's extraordinary novel. The original 1959 movie was probably the one that remained the most faithful to the novel, although it was not the best of them all… nor is this one, regardless that Brendan Fraser makes an appearance.

...INTRODUCTION "A traveller doesn't just see numerous different places, but gets familiarised with different cultures and the results of their sick and twisted circumstances. Kino is one of these travellers. Riding on Hermes, her talking motorcycle and companion, she searches answers to all of life's mysteries. Armed with hunting knives, revolvers, and a sharp tongue she is ready for a journey, that differs from all others before. Do you want to join an unforgettable journey?" THE "PLOT" AND BACKGROUND To be honest, when I read the above description of this DVD in the store I was far from convinced of its merits. The part about the "talking motorcycle" in particular ringed like light-hearted kiddie stuff a la Knight Rider that didn't really warrant any special attention. But in any case I decided to chance it for it wasn't very... Read review
