Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central subject matter of adventure, exploration, and family bonding is inherently apolitical, and its narrative solution relies on universal themes of scientific ingenuity and cooperation rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The film features a predominantly white main cast, consistent with traditional casting practices, and does not incorporate any explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on adventure and family, portraying traditional identities positively without any critical framing or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The character of the Icelandic guide, Hans, who is male in Jules Verne's original novel, is portrayed as a female character named Hannah Ásgeirsson in the 2008 film adaptation.
This adventure film does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely focused on exploration and survival, with no engagement in queer representation.
The film 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' (2008) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative is a straightforward sci-fi adventure focused on exploration and survival, with no elements pertaining to gender identity.
The film features Hannah Ásgeirsson as the primary female character. While she is resourceful and actively participates in the group's survival against environmental hazards and creatures, there are no scenes where she engages in or wins direct physical combat against one or more male opponents.
The 2008 film introduces new characters, Trevor and Sean Anderson, who are distinct from the original novel's protagonists, Professor Lidenbrock and Axel. These are new characters created for the adaptation, not race-swapped versions of established characters. Hannah Ásgeirsson, the Icelandic guide, maintains the same racial background as her novel counterpart, Hans Bjelke.
