And unfortunately, once you get past Johnson’s characteristically hulking physique, the only thing that comes close to eye candy in the film is Hudgens’s sweat-drenched cleavage. In fact, the non-descript gargantuan inhabitants of the unnamed island are only big in terms of their physical dimensions.įurthermore, the only really aesthetically striking attractions in ‘Journey 2’ are provided by some of its human cast’s physical features. The film’s visual effects are adequate but wholly unremarkable. The boilerplate plot probably wouldn’t feel like the kiddy fantasy film version of thrice warmed-over leftovers if “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” were visually impressive. Together with Kailani (“ High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens), Gabato’s buxom teenage daughter, the group finds Alexander and then soon has to vacate the island before it sinks back into the Pacific Ocean. Surrogate father and son travel to and are soon stranded on said island after Gabato ( Luis Guzmán), a quirky tour guide working just off of the island of Palau, drives into a freak storm with his rickety biplane. He offers to accompany Sean on his trip to rendezvous with Alexander on the titular water-locked landmass.
Since Sean does not yet trust his step-dad, Hank decides that this is his chance to bond with Sean. Alexander is an irresponsible explorer of the Indiana Jones-genre, who previously abandoned Sean’s mother to pursue obscure adventures. Sean is convinced that the message he’s intercepted was sent by his grandfather Alexander ( Michael Caine, looking perpetually out-of-breath and out-of-place). Johnson stars as Hank, step-father of Sean ( Josh Hutcherson), an angsty teenager obsessed with locating and traveling to the origin of a coded signal.
