This starts with Jules Verne 'himself' , talking to future generations, what would be us too. Talking about discovering parallel universes, about portals (which he used) ... Really complete fiction. And yes, in this case enormous disrespect toward Jules Verne, toward historical facts. I mean here about saying that Jules Verne had such ideas is what is fiction.
Some think that in fiction everything is allowed.
Well, that was not so some 50 years ago. At least, count of 'some' was way less. And yes, first movie with same title was pretty much faithful to Verne's novel, of course there was some 'Hollywood' added. Second one from 2008 was rather inspired with ... But this using same title, starts with Verne, and then, completely different story. They even not do journey in classic meaning.
Congrats on this humbug, Disney.
Why rating 2 ? Well, actors did decent job.
