The movie is science fiction proving scientific theories wrong still the movie is brought as a good job.

Ok listen up! There is now way anything in this movie could have happened. They went to the Earth's Core. ITS 10 000 DEGREES!! The whole movie was a bunch of bull...t lies that didnt even begin to make sense! Worst movie of the year so far!

Not a bad film, but the story is simply too stupid. Going to the core of the earth? That is total rubbish. However, at least there is some excitment.

Admittedly, this disaster movie isn't for everyone but, for those who love a good sci-fi disaster movie, this movie is truly a hollywood spectacle. Definitely one to add to your collection.

Bring back Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea? Was this a spoof of that or was it really this bad? I couldn't take any of it seriously. It was absurd and laughable.

What an embarassment? God awful!

This movie is quite interesting.. But then it's really impossible for them to go onto the core!! their ship must have melt even if they're still on the mantle!! haha... but it really made me laugh!

Not a completely horrible movie, but fun enough to catch the "in-jokes" and pointed commentary at modern culture (see Rome); those gems were misguidedly enjoyed by my chortling, brash, and clueless fellow movie-goers who failed to grasp those nuances. Go see it anyway; it's worth the chuckles. Now I feel like a snob. Heh.

As I watched this all that I could think of was how did these actors accept these parts and how the professional critics suffered watching this garbage. This is too bad to describe. Just save your money.

I happen to feel that I am reasonably intelligent and am a college grad (altho those two don't always go hand in hand) . Therefore, I realize that NONE of this could ever happen or take place. But who cared!!! My friend and I had a great time and it was enjoyable. We were entertained completely and didn't realize 2h 15m went by. Go see it and don't worry about reality. I mean, when you think about it, how real is ANY movie, even the 'serious' ones??? The goal of any movie is to entertain. And we were!… Expand

This is too bad to even be believed. Avoid at all costs.

For Heaven's Sake, don't listen to the radio advertisments: this is NOT the action blockbuster of the year. In fact, for a disaster movie, there's very little action to speak of in the way of earth-shattering special effects. The script is appalling. Consider going with a friend if you've nothing else to do, and parts of it might appeal to your sense of humour (think birds flying into windows...)… Expand

Conceivably the worst movie of the year. It insults your intelligence and non-action would be a more proper adjective. The acting, directing, screenplay and special effects were simply appalling.

Action Blockbuster??? How about laughable cannon fodder. It is terrible.

Please tell me that I am dreaming and that this garbage was not released. How could these actors even speak their parts with a straight face? The Core is downright embarassing as every cheesy aspect was stolen from another movie; and painfully, poorly done.

Any experienced moviegoer will be prepared for a cookie-cutter Hollywood movie with a ludicrous plot and outlandish special effects --and this movie lives up to the expectation. But you will leave the theatre very happy with its stellar cast, non-stop fun factor and surprising likeability. I expected sh.t but saw gold.

After watching this drek all that I can say is "Oh my God" as it was that awful.

I think Jody means to say "its so bad its good". If you know absolutely nothing about science you might be able to swallow the crap they throw at you. I give this movie a 2 because some of the reviews made me laugh. Instead of seeing this movie, I suggest hitting yourself on the head with a hammer for 2 hours, it'll be less painful.

I really liked this movie. Sure, it wasn't as deep as "Truman Show", but it was gripping and the characters were better than in "Poseidon". And no, if you are a physical scientist, who just stumbled over this movie by chance: do not watch it! It is not the most truthful movie in the world! But then, which movie Hollywood ever produced was?

As an avid science fiction movie buff I am at a loss as to where to begin? I gave it a 1 rating because the actors suffered enough. The cast individually are usually among Hollywood's best? How they signed on after reading this script is beyond all imagination? Perhaps the economy is getting to them also. The premise for the movie held promise. After fifteen minutes, the story just falls apart. I could not help but wonder how the actors could keep a straight face to deliver their lines? The acting was horrible, as were the directing, screenplay, special effects and just about everything else. This was a bad remake of the old television series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" meets "Fantastic Voyage" with just a touch of "Independence Day" thrown in? The producers stole every idea as nothing was original. The best way to describe this drek is to pretend it was old B movie from the 1950's. You could bottle this and place it on Mystery Science Theater 3000. The only way I could keep evenly mildly amused was to guess which of the crew would be the next to mercifully die? I was expecting Bruce Willis to drop in from his asteroid any minute? How this was made is beyond all belief? Simply laughable. … Expand

I have only one word to say: REFUND!

This is so bad that I had to hold it in for fear of laughing. It is like watching a spaghetti western with dubbing except it is science fiction and it is their real voices. How the actors played this straight without cracking up is beyond all comprehension. I was waiting for Godzilla to drop in art any moment? You have been warned.

Although it tries to be like ID4 and Armageddon, this want to be Jules Verne Journey to the Center of the Earth was not bad. It is cheesy and the science of it all is questionable, however, it delivers fun and good special effects. What really helps the film is the cast. Solid acting from most and the dialogue is at times quick and funny. Worth the matinee price, and worth the time.

Jack, Independence Day? That was one of the best science fiction movies ever made? The Core should only be so lucky? It is so bad that I envisioned the actors lining up while it was being made saying to the director "kill me next". It is a joke and very poorly made. Avoid at all costs.

Who writes this crap? Absolutely one of the worst movies ever made. It is a total joke.

........Don't see it unless you are so bored you are going to kill yourself.

This movie is so bad that I actually thought that the actors would start laughing when they deliverd their lines. It is absolutely predictable and ridiculous. The special effects were a joke as was every other aspect of this production. Just a complete waste of time.

It would be unjustified to give this movie a zero because the preview fooled me and that is credit enough for at least two points. After the preview though, this film is not worth much. Although I was expecting cookie-cutter mindless science fiction entertainment, this movie only provided severely underdeveloped plotpoints, long boring travel scenes, confusing special effects (are they drilling or floating?) and a lacking in mass destruction. The only redeeming thing about the film is that THE CORE rhymes with THE BORE, and this makes it easier to describe when suggesting it to friends. … Expand

Was this someone's expensive idea of a joke? It is too badly made to even put into words. Avoid at all costs.

When was the last time these reviewers ever liked this crap?I will never get a chance to see any stupid movie like that again!!

The concept's not bad - certainly at least 56% original - the execution, not so much. But as these sorts of things go, worse disaster movies happen at sea - Pearl Harbor, anyone? Perfect rental fodder.

All nonsense, but fun nonetheless.

KKKKKRAP Peanut Buttah!!! Even the no-name brand taste better!!

Might make it to "mystery science 3000" before a broadcast premiere. preposterous. doesn't even qualify as a B movie.

I loved it.

rated best for the amazing effects and twists and funny bits, but worst due to nonsensical bits which in fact, the mantle cant stop spinning for no reason at least it was good although somewhat scary. despite the plot holes and badly done bits, it was, in fact, AWESOME!!!!

Wow. I hope no one got paid for writing this. This has got to have one of the worst plots of any film with some of the biggest holes ever (no pun intended).

This movie was a fast. Quick, pace thriller. I cannot believe the awful reviews they gave tom this movie. I loved it. I really did. The Core showed me that everything that is impossible can be possible. Don't listen to the critics of those who just like movies with woman. Listen to me... You are going to LOVE it!

After being initially disgusted by the sheer stupidity of this film, i've gradually come to love it for the same reason. No disaster movie is more memorable than this one; with the eye-poppingly bad science simply adding to the charm.

ALMOST as hilarious as "Reptilicus", with excellent special effects and a more apt cast, except Swank. You will laugh, I promise.

"The Core" is a hard core good time film to start the blockbuster season on. You never feel that you need a PHD to understand the story or the screenplay to get what they say. The acting could of been better, but its not why we go to this kind of film. Stanley Tucci make you hate him by making the character a ahole. Saan Francisco getting distroyed was the best part of the film.

Any professional critic who gave The Core above 25 has to be suspect? This movie is completely devoid of anything approaching competency in the acting, directing, and screenplay. Even the special effects were cheesy. It is an insult to any person who watched this that possesses even an ounce of intelligence.

Ok, it had a few misses, but this was an ok movie. Somewhat credible science fiction, solid acting and a few fun moments.

Dumb but entertaining enough. Think Armaggeddon or Independence Day.

They left out two words before the title... Rotten To The Core would be more appropriate.

Fantastic. This is a movie composed entirely of testicular fortitude. No plot, no acting, no intelligible story, just guts: the guts to not only completely ignore the actual laws of science, but even the fake science they made up earlier in the movie. They pursue a series of evens so monumentally preposterous that I can't imagine not having a good time when watching it. Certainly not an effective "disaster epic" if you're going for believable suspense, but a fantastic camp fest of the highest form.… Expand

This movie is no Armageddon, but fun nonetheless. First class B-scifi movie.

Rotten to...

I think that Hilary Swank really hit the spot. She is a good actress and she should get a golden globe for this.

I somewhat enjoyed this movie. I'm not very picky when it comes to sci-fi movies, but I think this couldv'e done a lot better, and I've lost a lot of respect for these great actors after being in a mediocre movie such as this. I think this a so and so movie that was okay, but couldv'e been much better.

I love this film. I don't care about the plot-holes and implausibility’s...it is action packed and pure entertainment.

Sometimes these ratings just don't make sense to me. Sure it was an all right science fiction depiction. The beginning kind of took its time and the only problem is that they didn't actually launch the ship until past half way through. And then they sped through a quick adventure through the core. The film was exciting and dull at the same time, its kind of cool how the director wishes to kill everyone off, well it still was a good sci-fi film. But I totally disagree with these reviews given here. Just a pretty good movie with a disappointing plot.… Expand
