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.

Greetings from a European Godard/Fellini/Polanski/DePalma movie fan
