Country: USA / UK Language: English Color: Color Sound Mix: Dolby Digital ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- User Comments: Charbax Copenhagen, Denmark Date: 1 March 2003 Summary: Fun idea spoiled by Hollywood money I just saw this movie at some kind of special "Surprise Premiere" where people there didn't know what they were going to see the national Danish premiere of, and the guy at the beginning of the show turned up on the scene to say the movie actually hadn't even been premiered in USA so it was some kind of world premiere. My following talk about this movie contains spoilers. I wish there were more movies about the US government spending 50 billion dollars on doing some great Human scientific expedition of some sort. Let Hollywood go to Mars, travel in space, go in submarines to the deepest oceans or go to the Core of the earth. I'd like to see more Nasa Shuttles crash-landing like it does here in "The Core (2003)". I mean if it costs only 50 billion dollars to send 6 humans to the center of earth then why wouldn't we go there before having to go there to save the world because someone tested some kind of doomsday machine which stopped the magnetic field thing rotating in the center of the earth. So I feel there is some mistake been made in the choice of the feel-good American movie style script development. If it costs only 20 billion to send humans on Mars then PLEASE, Hollywood, make some seriously good movies for 20 million dollars about humans going to MARS. Not as a "taking people for brain-dead stupids" not funny SCI-FI wannabe, to save the world as USA fighting alone to save civilization, but as Humans going there and finding enough to dream about just going there and taking pictures. "The Core (2003)" is a piece of very interesting idea, about scientists somehow finding a way to go to the center of the earth in an unbreakable ship, that can withstand the great pressure and heat of deep with special lasers in front that would make a hole in anything. There are very awesome Special Effects scenes in London Trafalgar square where thousands of pigeons are falling from the sky, a scene where Rome Italy is burning and the colloseum collapsing, another scene where the San Francisco bridge collapses. This looks kind of fun but it is shaky and noisy special effects. Sadly, I think, the whole feeling of the script is in the fashion of a bunch of different characters drinking Champagne infront of their drilling-to-the-center-of-the-earth ship and Heroes including one afro-american getting killed one after the other until the last two white genius-heroes. One LeonardoDiCaprio-ish male and one CelineDion-like female alone in the ship) are saved by the Whales and the Computer-Hacker-guy. my rating: The movie: 5/10 fun special effects moments: 6/10 scientific and sociological concept design: 7/10 quality of humor and jokes: 2/10 The casting: 2/10 The Script: 1/10 Is this a Hollywood blockbuster: Probably 10/10, I wish NOT.
