I recently watched Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Or whatever it's really called. Despite the intense corniness and sheer stupidity of the glaringly obvious plot holes, I enjoyed it.
Why?
Because I adore Jules Vernes. He is known as the pioneer of the science fiction genre and being the massive geek I am, that is my favorite of all book genres. Also, he practically invented steampunk. I love love love steampunk!
Besides that, he was given writing advice by Alexandre Dumas, one of my all time favorite authors. I have read all of Dumas' books and I re-read The Three Musketeers everyday. Every. Day.
It was really worth suffering through Vanessa Hudgens' scenes just to stare at the steampunk-style submarine. I kept bouncing in my seat excitedly while quoting passages from Vernes' books. My sisters shushed me, telling me to stop being such a bleeding smartass.
But really, if you check out steampunk, you might just agree with me.
