      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Science Professor Trevor Anderson (Fraser) is often ridiculed by his colleagues in the academic community over his decidedly unconventional hypothesis. But Trevor proves himself a scientific visionary instead of the quack he is perceived to be when he is trapped in a cave during an expedition in Iceland. To escape the cave, Trevor, his young nephew Sean (Hutcherson), and a beautiful local guide Hannah (Briem) must go deeper on a Journey To The Center Of The Earth. Based on Jules Verne

    Reason #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
