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...

Continuity: As Trevor frantically cleans up his lounge
area, he starts picking up plates and foil
takeaway dishes, collects them all and
places them on a shelf. But in the next
shot all the plates/tins have suddenly
appeared on the central table in the
lounge.
Continuity: After trying to tidy up the lounge area,
Trevor gives up and resorts to throwing
a large blanket over the central table,
which he grabs from the sofa. After he
picks up the blanket, between shots the
position of the items on the sofa changes
and also a cushion appears from
nowhere.
Visible crew/equipment: When Trevor is outside in the street
greeting Sean as he sits in the car, Sean
then gets out of the vehicle. As she gets
out and stands by the car talking to
Trevor, you can clearly see a large white
reflecting board reflected in the backseat
door, behind Sean.
Continuity: At the beginning where Trevor is looking through Max's stuff, he sets the glove on the table. In the next shot the glove is back in the box.
Continuity: When Trevor is sitting at the table
flipping through the copy of the 'Journey
to the Center of the Earth' book he found
in Max's box, his location in the book
keeps drastically changing from shot to
shot, from almost at the start of the
book, to the back and to the middle, and
so on.
Continuity: When Trevor finds the copy of 'The Journey to the Center of the Earth' inside Max's box, although the title is spelt this way on the front cover of the book, as he looks through the pages, on the insides of the book you can clearly see the headers spelling the title as Centre instead of like Center on the front cover.
Continuity: Trevor is going over notes scribbled in Max's copy of the book on the airplane. As he talks to Sean about the notes and how he is trying to decipher the Sigurbjorn Asgeirsson notes, in the first few shots of these notes most of them are written in clear jet black ink, nice and new. But in the closeup as Sean runs his finger down the notes, the same writing is now differently written and the ink looks much more faded.
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: As Trevor is telling Sean to check his
watch in order to time how long it takes
for the glowstick to reach the bottom of
the chasm, Sean removes the torch from
under his neck and points it onto his
watch. Suddenly in the next shot the
torch is back under his neck.
Continuity: After the glowstick has been dropped
down the chasm; and the shots goes
back and forth from Trevor to Hannah as
they talk, you can see from shot to shot
that the torch in Sean's right hand keeps
disappearing and reappearing.
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.
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.
Visible crew/equipment: When the mine cart crashes into the wall, you can see cables beneath the cart.
Continuity: After Trevor and Sean clamber out of the
lagoon that they landed in, they begin to
remove their jackets because they are
soaking wet. However between sudden
shots, the beanie hat and headlight that
Sean was wearing on his head instantly
vanishes, with no time for him to have
removed it himself.
Continuity: When Trevor and Sean climb out of the
lagoon, they realise Hannah is still
underwater so Trevor dives back in to
rescue her. When he retrieves her from
the water and they all scramble back
onto the rocks, Trevor leans his head
back onto his backpack. In the next shot
his head is now resting on the rocky
shore below his backpack.
Continuity: After Trevor saves Hannah from
underwater and they are all laying on
the rocks, Hannah's wet stringy hair
keeps on changing position and the wet
hair that is stuck to her right shoulder
keeps disappearing then reappearing
back on her shoulder during the scene.
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.
Continuity: After Sean lands on the beach after being carried away on the kite, the position of the ropes that are attached to the sail, laying on the beach keep changing position. Also, Sean removes the ropes that are wrapped around his arms after he wakes up, but after he drinks some of the beach water, the ropes are wrapped back on his arms.
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.
