How sad is this?

Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The science is questionable at best and laughable at worst but its all in pursuit of making a ridiculous and wonderful movie. Script aside, the cinematography and pacing were very good and for '03 the computer graphics were impressive. Its an interesting and original idea executed by taking every single Hollywood trope, throwing them in a hat, shuffling it about, and tossing it into a blank manuscript. This is by no means one of the best movies I've ever seen but I gave it a 9 because I enjoyed every minute of it, albeit not in the way the filmmakers intended.However, don't let that deter you. This movie is absurd but executed as a drama with high production value and you will most certainly be entertained by that juxtaposition.

While some may pan this one for being campy, I disagree. If, as some have said the deleted scenes would have added more depth to the characters, by all means, offer a directors cut, or a version WITH the deleted scenes. Aaron Eckhart & Hilary Swank, and the entire cast should be given their due. While the vehicle being able to bore thru solid earth may seem far-fetched by today's standards, so was the "earth is flat" over five hundred years ago. Great entertainment, and a little faster moving than "Passengers".

After reading a few reviews saying "it's not that bad" and wanting to see a few "omg the earth will die please USA do something" movies... I dared to watch this one again. What a terrible idea. I now know why I could barely watch it until the end the first time. This movie is insulting your brain. It's an insult to science, an insult to pure logic at times. The acting is maybe the best thing here, I feel like they still try to do something (not all of them, not all the time), in spite of the awful story and script. Even the music is terrible. Oh yeah, some people will say (as they always do) "hey, it's a movie. What about star wars, they have droids, light sabers, spaceships, etc...". The difference is that star wars is not science fiction, star wars is a space opera. And they could be using technology that we just don't know or don't know yet. The "science" in "The core" is about things that we know. And almost everything is wrong or does not make sense at all. This movie is terrible, terrible to the core.

I've seen this movie quite a few times. The effects are great the premise is sound and the plot is wild. Kind of like a hi tech journey to the center of the earth. It's great fun and has many emotional moments. Hillary does a fine job in her role. Highly recommend for all family members. Don't listen to the bad reviews. This movie is good clean entertainment with lots of fine special effects and scenarios to keep you entertained for the entire run. A lot of current disaster flicks don't have the quality of cast and plot as does this one. I'm sure you will be pleased you saw this movie as were I and many of my friends. I highly recommend it. It could easily have a sequel using the same cast (the survivors) in a film using the tech developed in this one. Enjoy 😀
