Smarter than <I>Armageddon</I> and equally extreme, <I>The Core</I> is high-tech Hollywood hokum at its finest. It's scientifically ridiculous, but this variant of <I>Fantastic Voyage</I> at least <I>tries</I> 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 (<I>Entrapment</I>, <I>Copycat</I>) 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 <I>The New Guy</I>'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. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>
Viewer Reviews
I bought this product to show to my 8th grade science class. They were learning information about the Earth's layers and the Earth's magnetic field. The movie gave them a lot of information and it was interesting to them. After the movie I had them discuss whether this all could actually happen which connected the information and the movie to real life nicely. Movie takes about 4 40 minute periods to complete.
