An insult to your brain.


After reading a few reviews saying "it's not that bad" and wanting to see a few "omg the earth will die please USA do something" movies... I dared to watch this one again.

What a terrible idea.

I now know why I could barely watch it until the end the first time.
This movie is insulting your brain. It's an insult to science, an insult to pure logic at times.
The acting is maybe the best thing here, I feel like they still try to do something (not all of them, not all the time), in spite of the awful story and script.
Even the music is terrible.

Oh yeah, some people will say (as they always do) "hey, it's a movie. What about star wars, they have droids, lightsabers, spaceships, etc...". The difference is that star wars is not science fiction, star wars is a space opera. And they could be using technology that we just don't know or don't know yet.
The "science" in "The core" is about things that we know. And almost everything is wrong or does not make sense at all.

This movie is terrible, terrible to the core.

And i just love it because of that. At least they knew it and didn't try to make it too serious.

"At least we know the pressure suits work", brilliant.

yeah but why waste expensive celluloid when there are so many more deserving movies that need funding and to be made?

And why create a film that LOWERS your IQ after you've walked out?

Anything enriching about THE CORE?
