Editorial Review:
Smarter than Armageddon and equally extreme, The Core is high-tech Hollywood hokum at its finest. It's scientifically ridiculous, but this variant of Fantastic Voyage at least tries to be credible as it plunges deep into the earth's inner core, where a formulaic team of experts pilot an earth-boring ship to jump-start the planet's spinning molten interior, now stalled by a military secret that could seal the fate of all humankind. It's a geophysicist's wet dream that only a fine ensemble cast could rescue from absurdity, and director Jon Amiel (Entrapment, Copycat) draws excellent work (and plenty of humorous interplay) from Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, Stanley Tucci, Delroy Lindo, and a host of memorable supporting players, especially The New Guy's D.J. Qualls as the world's greatest cyber-nerd. With enough digital F/X disasters to satisfy anyone's apocalyptic fantasies, this is a popcorn thriller with all the bells and whistles that its genre demands. Sit back, pump up the volume, and enjoy the dazzling ride. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Jules Verne Revisited
The subject is interesting. The topic is fascinating. The treatment is quite reassuring. But the ideology is hateful. Imagine some natural, geological or cosmic catastrophe meaning the end of the earth, hence of humanity. The loss of the magnetic field of the earth is one possibility since it has been going down for a few decades and no one can explain. If such a phenomenon were truly happening, the normal reaction would be to bring all scientists around the world together to find a solution. There ... Read More
Rating: - Interesting movie
First saw this movie on TV, it was an interesting movie and was enjoyable, could this ever happen? who knows but some of the scenes
were really good.
Rating: - The Core
The Core is an excellent Movie. I was happy with the quickness in which I received my order, and the wonderful condition it was in. Thank you.
Rating:  - Excellent film & Superb transfer to DVD
Why would anyone expect a film like this to be scientically sound? I am an engineer/scientist and I love films like this! This is science FICTION, already--a little bit of science and lots of fiction. 'The Core' is no less scientific than the Star Wars or Star Trek sagas.
Anyway, it is puzzling why this film did not do better at the box office. It has most of the right elements: Great acting--good casting (especially that cyber-nerd hacker (he was perfect!) and Hillary Swank (who is always ... Read More
Rating:  - "Armageddon" all over again
Saw this movie in 1999 when it was called "Armageddon".
This version is no better, though I knew it was a dog before I got it.
Yeah, "suspend the disbelief" for the science - I get it. However, I have problems with the "real" part, too, which includes lightweight birds completely shattering car and store windows (they mostly just bounce off), the space shuttle improbably landing (haha) where it did, general vehicular physics (such as whiplash), and the fact that although the movie ...
