Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

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

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

asimtrax But it doesnot deserve 1 star. You can't expect a movie to be 100% logical. I had watched this movie when i was kid and i liked this movie.

gavin6942 The only way to save Earth from catastrophe is to drill down to the core and set it spinning again.Strangely enough, the worst part of this film is the part about them drilling into the core. Or, in other words, the entire second half. The practicality of it is so nonsensical that it makes "Armageddon" look plausible.However, the first half is quite good. Aaron Eckhart is wonderful and a convincing scientist. The discussions of theoretical matters is quite interesting. I did not realize, for example, that the core of the earth is as big as Mars! (Yes, it's true.) The problem only really starts when these theories get tested in a silly way.

Davis P The Core intrigued me originally, but it ultimately did not live up to my expectations. The cast, I actually quite liked, I liked Hilary Swank, and Eckhart, and Tucci, I thought they all had good chemistry together, and I enjoyed Alfre Woodward's performance too. The effects, as you can tell from the film's poster, run pretty rampant here. They are just fine when they are in the core and the audience is seeing lava and humongous crystals, and the ship flying looks fine too. There were however a few parts where the effects just didn't look all that good, even for 2003. So the effects are like a 70/30, so it leans in the right direction. The issue I take with The Core is that whenever an action packed/effects driven scene isn't going on, there just isn't any good dialogue or engaging characters. The actors really do give it their all, but the source material just is not that good or deep at all. The characters really do seem like cardboard cut outs, not much depth to them, some good cool depth behind the different characters would've been great to see! 6/10 for The Core. Not quite :/

Tony_R_68 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.
