All rights reserved.The Core (2003, DVD)
| Movie Description Weird phenomena lead a brilliant geophysics professor, Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), to the discovery that the Earth's core has stopped revolving, ultimately resulting in severe natural disasters and radiation akin to that of a microwave--and the end of the world. Keyes' worst fears are confirmed by superstar scientist Dr. Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci), who turns to his former partner, Dr. Ed Brazzleton (Delroy Lindo), who has devoted twenty years to creating a ship that can journey to the center of the Earth. The U.S. government, whose secret experiments, unbeknownst to all of the team but Zimzky, may have caused the problem, builds the ship at record speed and sends a team in to set off nuclear bombs that will restart the core. Astronauts Colonel Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood) and Major Rebecca Childs (Hilary Swank), and a nuclear weapons specialist, Dr. Serge Leveque (Tcheky Karyo) are also assigned to the mission, which promises both spectacular discoveries and tremendous danger. Witty one-liners save the film from taking itself too seriously while the special effects keep the action exciting. Directed by Jon Amiel (COPYCAT, ENTRAPMENT), THE CORE also stars Alfre Woodard, DJ Qualls, and Richard Jenkins.

Reviews  A neat disaster flic 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. If you don't think about it too much, and throw everything you ever learned about science out the window, then "The Core" is a really good disaster movie. The core of the Earth has stopped turning, and it is up to a group of scientist (the usual suspects) to go into the center of the Earth and detonate several nuclear bombs in order to "jump start the core". It's nuts, I know. But if you just go with it, it's an entertaining two hours. The cast is Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, Delroy Lindo (those are the memorable ones). The shinning star is Christopher Shyer, a Frenchman who puts saving the world into a manageable perspective with a very nice speech about why he's going. The special effects dominate the movie, but that is to be expected. All in all, I liked it, and I am pretty sure you will too. Overall the graphics are great and it is fun. :) 4/5 Latsyrhc Tamarack Collectibles Review ID: 10000000008172948 Was this review helpful?

It is not noticeable on the surface of the DVD but when playing the movie it skipped about 10 minutes. Used DVDs are a risk. Review ID: 10000000006914748 Was this review helpful?
