Trivia

A subtle reference to this film's 3D format: In Max's box, Trevor finds a pocket stereoscope, which are funky looking glasses that create the illusion of a three-dimensional image from two-dimensional photographs. It was invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1840. See more...

Visible crew/equipment: When the mine cart crashes into the wall, you can see cables beneath the cart.

Continuity: During the scene when Trevor comes home and listens to the messages on his answering machine, there are 4 messages from Sean's Mom. As Trevor is running around trying to clean up, he's listening to the messages. Only 3 messages are played and when the phone rings it says there are 0 messages.

Continuity: When Trevor and Sean are getting in the mini cart you can see the cart tracks along the side of the mini cart, but in the next shot the tracks change sides.

Factual error: When Sean is crossing the chasm by jumping on the 'magnetic rocks', he jumps onto the edge of several of the rocks. Assuming that the rocks could actually float in the magnetic field as shown, standing on the edge of one of them would cause it to immediately flip.

Continuity: When Sean first sees the 'magnetic rocks' forming a bridge across the chasm, there is a great distance between him and the other side, and about 20 floating rocks. When he starts to cross, the distance is now much shorter, and he only jumps on 6 or 7 rocks to get across.

Continuity: During the scene where Trevor is told that the funds for research have ended, he crosses his arms, then the angle changes and the arms are at rest and he crosses them again.

Plot hole: While the slopes on the mine tracks make for a thrilling downhill ride, the cars loaded with ore could never have made it back up the tracks.

Continuity: When Trevor is fighting off the carnivorous plants that are attacking him and holding Hannah hostage, in one shot we see him punch into the mouth of one plant, causing his hand to become entirely covered in a sticky goo. In the following shots however, the same hand is now clean.

Continuity: After leaving the lagoon area and exploring the rest of the 'Center of the Earth', the size and appearance of the wet patches on everyone's clothes, especially on the front of Trevor's jumper, continue to change from smaller to larger to darker and lighter, etc.

Factual error: When Trevor, Sean and Hannah enter the cave full of emeralds, rubies and diamonds, you can clearly see that these precious stones are not in their rough, natural forms. Instead the diamonds are crystal clear and look shiny and polished. In reality they would be rough and have a murky yellow tint to them.

Continuity: Trevor falls a short distance to the floor after Hannah cuts his harness ropes with a knife. After he hits the floor and the ropes fall onto him, between shots the ropes laying all over his body and face keep moving, disappearing and appearing.

Continuity: When Hannah is tending to Trevor and Sean as guests in her house, she brings three mugs over and places them on the table. Between shots the three mugs swap their places; you can easily see this by comparing them in relation to the book sitting next to them.

Continuity: When the Italian farmer starts to shout, Trevor raises his right arm to comfort Hannah. In the next shot it's down, and he doesn't raise it until much later.

Continuity: When the movie begins, Trevor enters the lab and his pal is holding the frozen object with his left hand. Half a second later he holds it with the opposite hand.

Revealing: After Trevor has been lowered above the pit of magma, in an attempt to light the magnesium walls with a flare, we see shots of Sean hanging over the edge of the inside of the T-Rex skull. Sean's hands are resting on a large tooth in the skull, which clearly shakes like a fake prop each time he touches it.

Continuity: When Sean is jumping across the floating magnetic rocks, as he jumps on the one that begins to flip him around twice, as he is flipped round the first time, it causes his small black utility belt (with the pocketknife and phone pouch) to fall off his waist, down into the abyss. In the following scenes moments later though, the same pouch/belt can be seen on his waist.

Continuity: When Trevor gets home from work and sits down in his lounge, between shots the sheets hanging over the chair he is sitting on change and items (such as a stack of books, newspaper, etc) suddenly appear on the radiator behind him.

Continuity: In the scene where Sean is walking by the large dinosaur bones, he disappears for a second as if he has become invisible, but he reappears in the next shot.
