Anita Briem's character

I changed the name of her character from Hanna Ásgeirsson to Hanna Sigurbjörnsdóttir. She is Icelandic, and her father is Sigurbjörn Ásgeirsson, so her name is Sigurbjörnsdóttir. It just doesn't make sense otherwise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.197.204.244 (talk) 22:27, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

3D method

No mention of WHICH 3D method (and, obviously, which type of glasses would be needed) this movie was shot in. From what I have seen, the 3D version uses a form of red/blue with colour, but I don't know enough about the different methods to work out the method 78.86.230.62 (talk) 18:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RealD

The article now claims that the film uses the Real D Cinema stereoscopic method. However, no citation is provided to back this up, and my own experience at the movie theater strongly suggested that something akin to Infitec technology was used - while the fact that a "Dolby Digital 3D" logo was projected made that quite obvious.

It's true that the article was missing information about the stereoscopy method used... but please, don't fill this sort of voids by making things up, that's not very useful! ;-) LjL (talk) 23:10, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptation Vs New story

This article suggests that the film is an adaptation of the book, however it is not, as the book is a non self-referencing story, while this is another different storyline that is not self referencing and doesn't break the fourth wall. It's simply a new story which builds on the book and revisits many of the same places. It is, essentially, a sequel when looked at in this light, just ithas a twist in that it's given the same title. I think the whole article's prose ought to be altered to reflect this, because right now, the article is deceptive and inaccurate. --139.130.97.94 (talk) 02:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, one could still argue that its an adaptation. The plot is very similar. The original book did reference a fictional account of an expedition into the same areas by an Icelander in the Late Middle Ages (forget his name), and this story simply replaces that reference with Verne's story. Anyway, need a professional source for either side of the question, I think. 63.87.189.17 (talk) 04:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unpaid 3d artists

I feel that a section on the unpaid VFX artists should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.201.230 (talk) 00:22, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There used be mention of unpaid VFX, but now it's gone. Any idea why was deleted? This is a very disturbing trend in the industry.76.120.66.57 (talk) 20:36, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should be put back into the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.84.11 (talk) 04:15, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Giganotosaurus?

In the article it claims that the large carnivorous dinosaur they meet at the center is a Giganotosaurus. I was under the impression it was a Tyrannosaurus. Who said it was a Giganotosaurus? --[[User:Tutthoth-Ankhre|Tutthoth-Ankhre~ The Pharaoh of the Universe]] (talk) 23:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Related to Anita Briem's character name an how it is formed

Johannes Evaldsson was an Icelandic footballer who had Estonian ancestry but to have an Icelandic passport under the law of the time you had to have an Icelandic name. This was not required when Bobby Fischer obtained an Icelandic passport whether the law was changed I do not know but if anyone could find the references they could make two articles better. Thanks. 16:28, 30 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.110.186 (talk)

Trivia

The only bit of trivia refers to dinosaur drool, DVD special features, and an albino "Gigantosaurus". It would appear that the drool is the title of one of the special features, in which one of the creators tells us they have casually named a model used "Albino Gigantosaurus", but the syntax is so terrible that sense is obscured.173.32.219.250 (talk) 03:13, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
