The Core Audience Reviews

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

thomaale I dont care if it is scientifically accurate or not. i still loved it!!!

buckettofmemez This movie had great potential going and they went out the window with it. The movie has a messy script and I find myself somehow lost watching it (judge me if you want). It takes awhile for the movie to actually get going and by the time you get into it the movie is over. I really wanted more with this and was excited to see a movie based off such a concept, expecting a really cool yet scientific movie. Instead I got a completely random assortment of events with sometimes no explanation whatsoever the whole movie. I am giving them credit for trying and still putting (some) heart into it, and still having some creativity.

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 :/

aldebaran68 I read of lot of poor reviews of this movie, mostly around the science in it. I got it on a double cheapo with another movie on DVD so I thought I'd give it a try. Well you know, it wasn't so bad. Now I'm not really into science that much. I just enjoy a movie if it entertains me. This one did. It was a bit like the old 50s 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' but without the creatures. I enjoyed the actors, the characters. I'm not one to notice stuff like goofs, etc. spoils my enjoyment. Don't care about them. It has enough scientific 'stuff' to keep me following with interest but I wouldn't know how 'real' it is nor would I care much. If I come out of watching it feeling better than when I went in that's why I watch any movie. So yes I gave it a 6 quite happily. Not much of a review for facts...no spoilers. Just how I felt. pretty OK. Thanks.
