Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: Kathy Ireland's voice, [[RunningGag again]]. Granted, Ireland's voice is already naturally quite high-pitched, but here she sounds more like a five-year-old girl than a 5'10" woman, making already [[{{Narm}} narmy]] lines like "Bitchin'" sound disturbing.

* FridgeBrilliance: The "big bones" comments are referring to surface-dweller Wanda's thick, healthy, ''high-calcium'' bones. There's not much vitamin D and calcium in a sunlight- and dairy-free underground society. (Which raises the question of how Gus got to be so tall.)

* MostAnnoyingSound: Kathy Ireland's shrill soprano makes Music/KateBush sound like [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]]. This might not be so annoying on the face of it, were it not compounded by her [[DullSurprise poor acting]] and weird pronunciation of "Dad" as "[[AccentUponTheWrongSyllable Diad]]".

* HollywoodHomely: Wanda is supposed to be nerdy, frumpy and awkward, with dorky glasses and bad hair. She's also played by ''Kathy freakin' Ireland''. [[MysteryScienceTheater3000 Mike and 'bots]] got a lot of mileage in this film out of her day job.

!! The sequel ''Journey to the Center of the Earth'' provides examples of:
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At one point, the main characters have several odd dream sequences. They appear to be scenes from either the movie that didn't get made (see above quote from the original director), or else scenes from abandoned character arcs (as it seems clear from viewing the movie, several actors also bailed on the movie).
