The Core

Fantastic movie love the ship they built to complete their mission love the girl although she appeared a little unsure of what actions to take on certain issues

Great movie. Very underrated motion picture. Good story, great special effects with a all star cast.Alot of action and drama. This is an overlooked gem of a movie.

This dvd was in my personal library and was lost. Just replacing one of my favorite disaster movies. Great imagination of the earths compisition and what might happen if the "core" stopped moving.

Good movie lots of action

Nice 4k

Good move.thanks.

I love this movie and I do not care who knows it!This movie has been blasted for its scientific inaccuracies.Clearly all too many people don't understand what the word FICTION stands for in SCIENCE FICTION.(It means the story is going to be made up).And THIS story is High Adventure in the Grand Style.The stars (including Academy Award Winner Hilary Swank...who has come a long way since the early '90s when she used to advertise herself as "Buffy's best friend" which she was, in the movie...not the TV series) are all fantastic in their roles.Okay, the digging machine they all ride down in wouldn't work...so what? Did you think the machine used in UNKNOWN WORLD (1951) would work? The "Cyclotram" (as it was called---meaning the drill in front (which was probably made from unobtanium) whirled around while the rest followed behind like a "tram") wouldn't have worked either. It was supposed to be under 2500 miles of water at one point, which would have crushed it and everyone on board).But in 1951 nobody cared. It was good escapist entertainment and enjoyed as such.Just as THE CORE can and should be.If you want completely accurate science take a science course at a University (you won't get it there, either, but you'll at least get the current version of completely accurate science until new discoveries change it. I have lived through a 9 planet solar system vs. the current model of 8. I have watched the battle between Steady-State and the Big Bang Theories. I was 15 in 1965 when it finally became clear that the Big Bang Theory was going to win. And win it did. And for a long time we understood that when a star collapses it forms a black hole, at the center of that is a core or "singularity" which MAY get hit by a boson from the Higgs field causing it to expand and creating a whole new universe!Until Stephen Hawking revealed that Black Holes don't do that and that the "Initial Singularity" was NOT from a Black Hole after all. This initial singularity was a gravitational singularity of infinite density that contained all of the mass and spacetime of the universe until quantum fluctuations caused it to rapidly expand in the Big Bang* and subsequent inflation. (The universe is not heading for a "Big Crunch" as the previous model showed because it just keeps on expanding).All of these ten dollar words probably mean something to Dr Hawking and his fellow boffins but I don't care. What I get from all this is that scientific accuracy is very much a "work in progress" and I am not going to let it ruin my enjoyment of a really action-packed and exciting movie.And that is MY Kung-Fu!* Actually, the term "Big Bang" is something of a misnomer. Firstly because what came from the Initial Singularity was basically a stream of hot gases what you had was more of a Big Pfffft and, secondly, even if it had been a Bang an external observer could not have heard it...no atmosphere for the energy waves to use to vibrate the observer's eardrum in order to create the electrical signal that would then travel to our hypothetical observer's "hearing center" in their brain and be registered as a "bang."This is because everything, matter, energy, EVERYTHING was IN the Singularity.Secondly because there could not have been a hypothetical external observer for the same reason there could not have been a bang.And, thirdly, yes...I am aware of the sound the body makes when it emits a stream of hot gases and, yes, this DOES mean that Stephen Hawking has turned the creation of everything into a Cosmic Fart Joke which millions of nerds (including the college professors who teach this stuff) giggle over as they watch STAR TREK reruns in their parents' basements after work,

It is all hypothetical fiction, but very entertaining.

Great movie for the serious fans.

Far fetched but , just go along with the flow with some semi believable story telling, not a bad movie though.

Like to watch disaster movie. It’s quite a old movie but enjoy it and the sound effects.

Deserves better than it gets

Released in 2003, the Core is a disaster movie. Which sees strange events happening round the world. Which are swiftly discovered to be the result of problems with the Earth's inner core. It's no longer rotating. Which is destroying the Earth's electromagnetic field.And without that, life on Earth will be gone within months thanks to solar radiation. Among other things.This we find out about via hotshot scientist Dr. Josh Keyes [Aaron Eckhart], extremely smart and extremely arrogant Dr. Conrad Zimsky [Stanley Tucci], talented pilot Beck [Hilary Swank], and military man Gen. Thomas Purcell [Richard Jenkins].Getting the core to rotate again is seemingly impossible. Given that nobody has ever drilled more than seven miles into the Earth. And the conditions and the pressure wouldn't support human life. But an old colleague of Zimsky's might just have the answer.An incredible mission, with very high stakes, is on...This is not a movie you will enjoy if you want scientific accuracy first and foremost, so you have to just treat it as a piece of escapism. It tries to hark back to disaster movies of old, and films such as fantastic voyage as well. The latter in that we have a group of very smart characters who have to come together, learn how to work together, and what to do when things don't go according to plan.The main cast are all very good. There is some humour arising from character interaction. And it follows a usual pattern of set up, introduce characters, introduce method of saving the day, train, set off, and deal with what comes next.Everything before the latter passes nicely but then it does take a while for the mission sections to really get going. Since the only jeopardy can come from natural phenomenon and since some characters have made more of an impression than others by then, it takes a bit to click.But click it does, as things go wrong and the stakes get ever higher. There is an interesting theme of people who have never failed having to learn how to, which it doesn't touch on quite as much as it could. And if you've seen a certain South Park episode, you will know what happens to at least one character.But it does what it needs to, keeping the thing going and leaving you wondering who will make it. All of which makes for a perfectly paced and decent conclusion.A movie of pure escapism and spectacle, but with some decent performances and characters as well. For that, it's a fun watch.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English, Czech.Subtitles: English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Turkish.Extras are: A commentary from the director.A making of documentary. Which is one of those promotional pieces that doesn't show much of the production just those involved enthusing about it. It runs for ten minutes.Five features about how certain visual effects moments were done. These run from three to five minutes each.Fourteen minutes of deleted/extended scenes. Which can only be watched all in a row rather than individually. And with or without a directors commentary on why they were cut. A lot of these are character moments that were lost for time and pacing reasons, and some are pretty good. Especially the very first. So they're worth a watch.
