The Core

Pros: mildly entertaining Cons: too unbelievable The Bottom Line: _____________ The unexpected is just about the only thing that really frightens me, beyond spiders that is. Under normal circumstances you can con your way out of anything, given the proper amount of information and time. But sudden things like meteors falling out of the sky or the core of the Earth exploding, well, Hell, you just don’t … more

Fun, Imaginative and Smart

"The Core" is a fun film to watch. Like all films in this genre, it has an impending disaster with catastrophic results waiting in the wings unless a motley crew of scientists, military folks and nerds can get something together to put an end to the destruction of the world.

This is one Boreing film.

Pros: Some ok FX Cons: Bad story, acting, no character development. The Bottom Line: A good premise and setup is quickly lost in a complete lack of originality. Hollywood has had long had a fascination with disaster films, and the genre had its heyday in the 1970’s with producer Irwin Allen’s star-studded disaster epics. Films such as “The Towering Inferno”, “Earthquake”, “The Poseidon Adventure” … more
