| Plot: For reasons unknown, the earth's inner core has stopped rotating, causing the planet's electromagnetic field to rapidly deteriorate. Instantly, life around the globe begins to change dramatically. In Boston, 32 people with pacemakers, all within a 10-block radius, suddenly drop dead. In San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge collapses, sending hundreds of people plunging to their deaths. In London's Trafalgar Square, flocks of pigeons lose their ability to navigate, flying into panicked crowds, slamming into windshields and causing drivers to lose control of their cars. And in Rome, as thousands of tourists watch helplessly, an electrical superstorm reduces the ancient Roman Colosseum to rubble. Scrambling to resolve the crisis, government and military officials call upon geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes and a team of the world's most gifted scientists to travel into the earth's core in a subterranean craft piloted by "terranauts" Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs and Commander Robert Iverson. Their mission: Detonate a nuclear device that will reactivate the core and save the world from sure destruction. |

| An intelligent person's science fiction movie. Very good. Although the script is bit weak in a few spots (and there are some other minor flaws), this is outweighed by the Excellent Ensemble Cast, Good Direction, Good Editing, Excellent Programmatic Music, and Excellent Special Effects. And Gratefully - No Gratuitous Junk! Overall, the movie is definitely worth seeing. For those interested: While there is debate in the scientific community as to the time and frequency, the earth's magnetic polarity does, in fact, shift periodically. This is proven in the geological record. North becomes south and south becomes north. As to the core being a natural nuclear reactor that could, at any time, suddenly stop working, the only theory here is as to the when. And given that scenario, life on earth would be a whole different supposition. Also, for general edification: In the late 1960's and 70's there was experimentation done on creating and using earthquakes as weapons. (Human arrogance, greed, and stupidity have no limit.) I have not (for a variety of reasons) kept up with the literature, so I don't know the current status of such blundering, though I fear the worst. In any case, it is obvious that someone doesn't want that information proliferated. That goes right along with all the other censorship currently in vogue. As for MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction - that is a mainstay of USA foreign policy. Draw your own conclusions. |

| The Core is a solid action-adventure/disaster flick with a novel idea and a great cast. True, it is very silly, and some of the effects don't quite come off, but that's true of most films in its genre. I've watched it on DVD a couple of times now, always late at night, always steeped in alcohol, and I have to say it passes a couple of very easy hours. The opening scene in Trafalgar Square with the crazy pigeons is better than anything in The Day After Tomorrow. And who can resist the beautiful, talented, Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank? So please give The Core a break. Stop taking it so seriously. Down a six pack and accept The Core into your lives. |
