Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) is a family adventure with a sci-fi streak that you can watch online on iFILM. Brad Peyton directs, with Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson leading the cast.

Teenager Sean (Hutcherson) picks up a coded distress signal from an island that shows up on no map. Instead of grounding his stepson, Hank (Johnson) climbs aboard for the trip. A worn-out helicopter gets them there, flown by Gabato (Luis Guzman) and his sharp daughter Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens). Waiting on the island is Sean's grandfather Alexander (Michael Caine), an eccentric explorer, plus a place where the rules flip: dog-sized elephants, giant butterflies and hills of gold.

The script blends Jules Verne with Robert Louis Stevenson and Jonathan Swift, then pours on bright CGI and 3D. It is breezy popcorn viewing for the whole household, light on depth but heavy on Johnson's easy charm. Stream Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) online on iFILM.
