"Exactly."
Journey 2 is an efficient, fast-paced and utterly daft crowd-pleaser aimed at the very young end of the market, for which it works very well. This film uses full-on and pin-sharp live-action 3D, with a script that gambols along merrily and recklessly like a puppy aiming to please, and enough PG-flavoured moments of peril and Disney/Walden family-moralising to maintain some dramatic interest. Effects are large scale and generally well executed - the money is up there on the screen throughout - and Dwayne Johnson is in relentless charm and likeability mode. Overall, Journey 2 is enjoyable in a mild, pleasant and undemanding way. And where else are you likely to see Michael Caine and The Rock riding giant bumble-bees, or the ex-wrestler suddenly delivering a rendition of What A Wonderful World with mini-ukulele as accompaniment?
