Theatres have still not bypassed the problem of requiring the viewer to wear a pair of glasses. Personally, one has doubts as to whether theatrical 3D is going to take off again as anything other than a passing fad. The leading format among these has been Real-D, which has seen a number of high-profile films being tailored if not shot for it. There are some that even regard 3D as the future of cinema, it becoming a bandwagon fad that everybody was attempting to jump aboard after the massive success of Avatar (2009).

As cinema screens start losing money due to reasons as varied as digital piracy, a preference for home entertainment systems and streaming services over theatres, the sheer plethora of product out there and general audience indifference at the inferiority of the films being peddled, 3D has been seen as the one gimmick that can draw audiences back to the multiplex.

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D comes from Walden Media, the company responsible for family-friendly, frequently pro-Christian fare such as The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) and sequels, Charlotte’s Web (2006), Bridge to Terabithia (2007), The Seeker: The Dark is Rising (2007), The Water Horse (2007), City of Ember (2008), Nim’s Island (2008), Tooth Fairy (2010), The Giver (2014), A Dog’s Purpose (2017), The Star (2017), Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) and A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting (2020).
