Clearly, actual science took back seat to artistic license in this movie.
That the outer core is liquid has been unquestioned for decades because S-waves from earthquakes cannot pass through it.
(And, yes, I can suspend professional disbelief just fine for a good SF book or movie. Sounds like this one hardly qualifies, though . . . )
And sadly, artistic license and what I call the "cheesy factor" took priority over good acting.
Some people really ought to have their artistic licenses revoked . . .

Actually, that was another reference to your "hoes" typo . . .
It was a combination of melting, falling, and tunneling in their slightly pornographic looking ship. Even if I suspended belief AND helped that frame of mind along with alcohol, I still don't see how the mechanics of their ship allowed them to "navigate".
Maybe when it comes to the dollar theatre . . .
