Brendan Fraser sneaked into screenings of his new movie to see how the audience responded.The 'Mummy' actor is set to feature in 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' and says couldn't wait to see viewers' reactions to the 3-D effects.He said: "There's nothing more satisfying than watching a five year old or a 55 year old reaching out to try and grab glowing birds or floating daffodils and then duck when the giant T-Rex snaps at them. "And they're like, 'Ew, gross' when I brush my teeth and spit in the sink, which is right in front of their face. I'm giving away all the best bits, aren't I?"I didn't get recognised because I was incognito wearing these really cool shades. Nobody knew who I was."Self-confessed "techno-nerd" Brendan says he loves the fact the movie is in 3-D because it looks so "freaking cool".He added to website Parade.com: "People call movies roller-coaster rides. This one actually is because it jumps off the screen right in your face. It's so freaking cool. Being a wannabe geek and techno-nerd myself, I was blown away. You're right in the thick of it. And to get the effect you have to go to the theatre, not stay at home and watch on an iPod or a TV screen. It really is like riding a roller coaster."
