qhhsspacelab The science is questionable at best and laughable at worst but its all in pursuit of making a ridiculous and wonderful movie. Script aside, the cinematography and pacing were very good and for '03 the computer graphics were impressive. Its an interesting and original idea executed by taking every single Hollywood trope, throwing them in a hat, shuffling it about, and tossing it into a blank manuscript. This is by no means one of the best movies I've ever seen but I gave it a 9 because I enjoyed every minute of it, albeit not in the way the filmmakers intended.However, don't let that deter you. This movie is absurd but executed as a drama with high production value and you will most certainly be entertained by that juxtaposition.

chavo_crazy I watched this movie in 2018 after 15 years of it's release. I learned a lot about our earth and Electro Magnetic field, compared to movies nowadays, this one is way much better and looks more Real, excellent digital effects, movies today looks fake.

denis888 If you are into a sci-fi flick with a huge disaster and everything coming down crashing or burning, choose The Day Afetr Tomorrow as a prime example of seamless connection of suspense, thriller, wit and great sympathy. Do not choose this abominable poor film that lacks both depth and decency, that is shallow and rushed, thin and defying all the possible laws of both science and logic. Neither Hillary Swank not Aaron Eckhart could save this silly fairy tale from being pathetic, slim and boring. We saw it all before many times, so do we need yet another catastrophe flick which is dragging and boring to the core, yup, pun intended. This is a very predictable moview with all the tropes seen and heard before and thus not captivating or thrilling.

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 :/
