IMDb 5.5 Metacritic 48 RT 39%

Skip it. 'The Core' is a gloriously stupid disaster film that mistakes spectacle for science and sincerity for stakes—it's the kind of movie that insults your intelligence while asking you to care about a implausible journey to Earth's center. If you want campy sci-fi thrills, at least pick something that knows how ridiculous it is.

Plot

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 reactivate the core.
