Budget $6 million
Gross $42 million
This was the first epic film we've seen since Gone With The Wind. Everything about the film is big: The Special effects, the sets, the acting. The movie was very entertaining and the scenes moved along rather quickly even though the movie is quite long. They just tried to pack as much story into the film as possible. It is a good, entertaining movie, not a great movie.
Joel
Favorite: I am glad to see that Hollywood had finally figured out that each scene does not have to drag on and on. Each scene showed the essentials and then moved on.
Least Favorite: The film started out with a cartoon about the universe. Callie made me check to make sure that I really put the right movie into the DVD player.
Callie
Favorite: It was action packed and quick moving.
Least Favorite: Fogg rescues the princess but she doesn't play a role in moving the story forward after that scene, she is just present in every scene after that.
