It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The Core is the flipside of movies such as Deep Impact and Armageddon. It really is a straightlaced version of Journey to the Centre of the Earth with all the cheesy fantasy bits ripped out and replaced with bad science and singing whales.The Earth's magnetic field has gone to pot. People die because their pacemakers have suddenly switched off. Birds fly into buildings in London. Even the Space Shuttle misses its landing spot.Dr Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart) a brilliant Geophysicist professor has a theory that the core of the planet has stopped revolving and it is causing havoc with the magnetic field. The American government has an audacious plan to kickstart the planet's core by devising a special ship to drill down the earth's core and causing a massive nuclear explosion.Piloted by two Nasa astronauts, Beck Childs (Hilary Swank) and Bob Iverson (Bruce Greenwood) and a motley crew of brilliant scientists. The team begins its mission with time running short. However a crew member perishes one by one due to the adverse conditions and bad luck.The film is too long, the special effects are poor but the movie is fun even if the script is just nonsense.

This film is literally so bad it hurts. It is "The Room" made with a budget of $60mil and a cast of well-known actors. The level of pseudo- science spouted off is on a par with a 50s low-budget SF movie. The plot is so weak and so full of unbelievable twists and solutions that a 3-year-old would scratch his head. Just wow!

This movie had great potential going and they went out the window with it. The movie has a messy script and I find myself somehow lost watching it (judge me if you want). It takes awhile for the movie to actually get going and by the time you get into it the movie is over. I really wanted more with this and was excited to see a movie based off such a concept, expecting a really cool yet scientific movie. Instead I got a completely random assortment of events with sometimes no explanation whatsoever the whole movie. I am giving them credit for trying and still putting (some) heart into it, and still having some creativity.

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.
