I saw the movie, "The Core", and was surprised about the special effects. The movie is worth watching just for the effects. The best effect was involving the space shuttle.
I also saw "Independence Day" which was just special effects, and not much of a plot. That said, I now compare "The Core", which in addition to great special effects has a good story line.
The movie was sort of a re-make of 2 other movies. "At the Earth's Core" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth". The plot in "The Core" and the previous movies were about the same quality. That quality being good. The big difference is "The Core" moves faster.
Is this scenario, story possible? Not hardly but then again when was the last time you believed in civilizations living within the Earth's crust. Confused? Well you'll have to rent Journey and At the Earth's Core to get the gist. Just make sure you order a couple of coffees or cokes for Journey. It is longer and somewhat boring. Of course if you rent the video you can fast forward through a few parts in the first hour.
Back to "The Core". It was like the producers saw "At the Earth's Core" and made this version even more exciting. At the Earth's Core is still one of my favorite sci-fi films.
If you love sci-fi, you must see "The Core". Great acting, great special effects, good story. The kind of movie that the Academy Awards love to snub. If I was on the Academy, I would certainly nominate this one for Special Effects. Of course we have only seen the beginning of the "Big Summer Movies". It's possible "The Hulk" will have even better effects.
Even so, I give this movie a 9 out of 10.
My only suggestion is I would rather see movies without heavy duty politics.
Hillary's character was just a bit over the top. An I am better than men character, stronger, smarter etc... which sends the message that men are mindless idiots. Come on Hollywood you can build up both women in the world without having to tear men down.
The anti-corporate, anti-government and anti-tech concepts need to go away too. This movie showed that government, business and high tech was all wicked and bad.
That said, I still liked this movie and you should all go see it, especially all you sci-fi fans.
Thank you!
