Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

In one scene Gabato's shirt is covered in bird droppings, yet in a scene later on he is wearing a clean shirt, then he is seen wearing the shirt with the bird droppings on it again.

When the gang is riding the giant bees, Sean identifies the birds chasing them as "white-throated needletails," which is a species of swift.

On the contrary, the birds featured appear to be white-fronted bee-eaters, which are in no way related to or resembling needletails.

When Gabato is piloting the helicopter to the island, his hands are in the incorrect position.

The cyclic control (stick) would be controlled by the right hand and the collective would be controlled by the left.

Gabato is backwards.

When Hank puts the torpedo in the launch tube it's only about 3 feet long.

When it's fired it seems to have doubled in length.

When Kailani approaches Hank and Sean's house after escaping the island, she is supposed to be in Ohio.

However, there is a palm tree clearly visible behind her.

At the very end of the movie as it zooms out from the Earth to the Moon, along the way we see airplanes and satellites, and just before the Moon we apparently pass through some sort of asteroid belt.

There is no asteroid belt between the Earth and the Moon.

The helicopter in Palau has a registration number that begins with N.

This indicates it is registered in the United States.

Palau as part of Micronesia would have an aircraft registration beginning with V6.

The sound the motor bike makes at the start of the movie is not the correct sound for the type of bike being ridden.

While parked on the dock there is a divider between the pilot and passenger area in the interior of the helicopter.

Later during the interior shot on the way to Mysterious Island the divider is gone.

After Sean falls from the giant bee and injures his ankle against a log several individuals say he has a "dislocated ankle" and his stepfather and grandfather reset it quickly and easily as you would do with a dislocated shoulder.

Although it is possible to "dislocate" your ankle it is not only very difficult to do, but due to the unique, and very stable, make-up of the ankle (unlike the shoulder) it only occurs in conjunction with either a fracture or multiple ruptured tendons of the area.

Something that is very serious and extremely painful and definitely not something that could be easily remedied by 'popping it back into place' and then the individual being able to walk about and hike.

Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) and his stepfather Hank (Dwayne Johnson) go in search of his grandfather Alexander Anderson (Michael Caine) on a mysterious island. They hire an old helicopter piloted by Gabato (Luis Guzmán) and his daughter Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens).

I love this movie! It's pure fun and you can laugh throughout the whole thing!

I bought Journey 2: The mysterious island on DVD after seeing the trailer which looked great. Unfortunately the film was so badly written and poorly casted that it killed off the good story line.

I'm not going to bother writing a long review for this one. It's hilarious to watch with friends and laugh at how bad it is.

An impressionable teen (Josh Hutcherson), thinks he gets a signal from his estranged grandfather to be somewhere on an island...that doesn't even exist.

They say there is nothing stranger than folk, and reading some truly negative reviews on here proves it.I thought this movie was delightful, the special effects were superb.

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.Great casting choices, great subject matter, and plenty of production value.

I guess the logic of this movie is quite similar to a Carl Barks Donald Duck adventure, so expect nothing more and nothing less :-) This is a true 3D movie and should never be seen in 2D, especially the fly at 57 minutes is the best 3D pop-out I have seen in a normal movie - generally only IMAX movies seem to be able to provide such amazing 3D content, not even Hugo was better. Although no Oscar will probably be given to the actors in this movie, they are indeed well-chosen for this sort of funny, early teenager, family-oriented adventure movie.

Poor scripting that relies on badly written exposition. Poor casting.
