Journey to the Center of the Earth

Plot hole: Sometimes the cave heats up to the point that the ocean boils. One of these events killed Max a few years before, and the second half of the movie revolves around the main characters trying to reach a geyser, which is said to be the only way out, while another event is beginning. No explanation is provided for how the flora and fauna of the cave survive such events.

Factual error: Trevor - a Professor of Geology - boasts about having an article published in Scientific American, and that is not something any scientist would do. Scientific American is looked upon with slight disdain by the scientific community, considered to be a populist crowd pleaser. It is not even peer reviewed. Considering that he has just turned the geological and archaeological worlds on their heads he would have been better off publishing in Journal of Geological Research or Geology, both prestigious professional journals.
