The Core
Geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes discovers that an unknown force has caused the earth's inner core to stop rotating. With the planet's magnetic field rapidly deteriorating, our atmosphere literally starts to come apart at the seams with catastrophic consequences. To resolve the crisis, Keyes, along with a team of the world's most gifted scientists, travel into the earth's core. Their mission: detonate a device that will… From TMDB

50 of 50 · most liked firstWatching The Core got me thinking… given all that has happened in the last month or so, I don’t *ever* want to see another movie where the whole world bands together—led by the U.S.—to save the world. That’s less believable than a cobalt-crusted geode in the mantle.

unlabelledView post →What's a dumb movie you will stan to the ends of time? I have to go with The Core. Everything about it from the science to the character motivations to EVERYTHING is dumb as hell, but I love that movie too much to give a damn. I am unabashedly and unironically entertained by that movie. It owns.

unlabelledView post →The Core is simultaneously an absolute dog's egg of a film *and* the perfect background accompaniment to farting about with resin dinosaur models that feels entirely appropriate for a long weekend when you're mostly stuck in a chair because of a bad back.
unlabelledView post →In this house we do not criticize The Core, which is an absolutely terrible (complimentary) earth science movie and one of my favorite movies ever
unlabelledView post →what's a movie less than 60% on rotten tomatoes that you consider to be a perfect movie? like not a bit, genuinely perfect film. Your semi-regular reminder that I love love love The Core way more than I should ever love love love such a film. 🎥
unlabelledView post →Watching 'The Core'. A truly underestimated sci-fy 'bad movie'. It's the first time our daughter (10) watches it. She is loving it and just asked me if I have 'a book about the mantle and the core'. Yeah, a few... Win-win. 🧪⚒️
unlabelledView post →armageddon is such a hogshit stupid movie but i have soft spot for it the same way i have a soft spot for The Core
unlabelledView post →God The Core is still just such a fun movie. Not in an ironic way or a so-bad-it’s-good way. Is just honestly fun and entertaining. Which is all I want from a movie. Everything else is extra icing.
unlabelledView post →Now that the "geoscientists are usually good guys in movies, but tend to die" paper got picked up by Science, I'm re-upping my writing about The Core (2003), which the paper egregiously excludes from their analysis: medium.com/@adeene.dent...
unlabelledView post →Greenwood was great in the film, to his credit. Stanley Tucci too. Aaron Eckhart is oddly kinda terrible tho. It's also hard to believe The Core was only six years before the Star Trek reboot! It feels *much* older.
unlabelledView post →Just seen a french disaster film that makes the Core and Moonfall seems scientifically plausible. The oceans and the land swap places (?) and there are oxygen crazed crabs (?) and it's all played perfectly straight.
unlabelledView post →I watched The Core (2003) tonight, and it is the single stupidest disaster movie premise ever conceived, and it's also the best one. That movie is so insane. More than any other movie, The Core DARES you to suspend your disbelief lol. Literally none of the science makes sense but trust the movie.

unlabelledView post →very soberly co-developing the theory that the movie The Core (2003) is an allegory for lesbian sex
unlabelledView post →I saw this and was like...did he write The Core?!?! lol I never even looked at who made that majestic film I've watched 10 times.
unlabelledView post →What is the best movie genre? That's right, it's DISASTER MOVIES. Fun Fact - there has never been a disaster movie that is not amazing. (I will not be taking follow-up questions). Anyway, I've never seen THE CORE, so I'm checking it out. I assume it's also amazing.
unlabelledView post →If there's a genre of movie that is "aggressively stupid yet fun", then the number one movie in this category is "The Core". This movie is stupid fun. Scientifically illiterate, it's fully self-aware of how ridiculous it is. A disaster movie with a great cast who are all in on the joke. #Movies

unlabelledView post →Me, a guy whose only real, impactful consumption of magnetic field effects is from the 2003 film The Core: I think this is part of the plot of The Core.
unlabelledView post →The Core? You mean the greatest* geoscience movie of all time?? * I will also accept San Andreas, as a movie about rocks starring The Rock may be peak cinema

unlabelledView post →A really mid movie called 'The Core' when I was 5/6. Watched a scene where some characters were crushed/burned to death and ran crying to my mom who then chewed out my bewildered dad and brother lol. Also some zombie movies
unlabelledView post →The way my face lit up when I turned on the TV and The Core was paused from when I started it before bed. So excited honk a fat one and finish this terrible movie! The CG is so bad.
unlabelledView post →That movie where they tunnel to the core of the Earth? Possibly called The Core? May be stupider, but I've heard it's at least a decent watch.
unlabelledView post →"The Core" (2003) is a movie that I think would be, with the right people in charge, a fantastic movie to remake.
unlabelledView post →The Core was dumb as hell but actually a pretty fun movie

Something is bizarre around here I am 64 years old I don’t ever remember being 90° in October Something is wrong It could be like that movie “The Core” PERHAPS SOMETHING TRUMP DID IN HIS FIRST TERM THAT HE’S TRYING TO COVER UP And like he said, we are dead already

unlabelledView post →The Core might not win any awards for scientific accuracy, and sure, the premise alone invites every kind of eye-roll, but what it does deliver is something we’ve been losing fast in today’s cinematic landscape: original storytelling that doesn't try to go viral or squeeze itself into a franchise mold. It’s from that 2000 to 2010 cultural crossroads, before everything became about metrics and trend-chasing. This was when movies still dared to be weird, flawed, ambitious, and most importantly,…

If you encrypt all of your stuff & live in a country without key-disclosure laws.

unlabelledView post →#DailyStream: don’t look down? The Earth’s core has gone wonky. Scientists say not to worry. But that’s precisely what They *would* say. We should send Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank to check it out. Like in 2003’s better-than-you-think-it-is #TheCore. @hbomax US, @NetflixUK
