The Core

So I just watched this 21st century revamp of a 50s sci fi movie, and I have to admit it's fun if nothing else. I don't regret those two hours. Suffice to say they're trying to figure out how to start Earth's core turning again (this isn't really a spoiler) and apparently this is all on a level any high school physics student could understand.

1. They're sitting there discussing the issue and Aaron Eckhart says "Torque equals r cross f" about 3 times for no reason. Then the other genius comes into play and says "it's like basic fluid dynamics". Lol.

2. Aaron Eckhart: "Then we hot-wire the nukes.. as one does and..." :laugh:


Don't expect much, but turn down the brain and it's a fun predictable adventure-thriller. Never gets dull.

Yeah, really disappointing because other sci-fi flicks are such bastions of physics integrity.

Yeah but at least most of them make it sound plausible, or are at least talking about stuff that the average high school physics student doesn't know about. 😛

Reverse the polarity!

The difference is that it actually tries to sound believable, but fails much harder than most other sci-fi flicks.

Man, every time I've tried watching the Core I end up getting extremely drunk and only seeing the first half hour.

lol. I imagine a couple of beers would have made it even better. 😛
 
This is rated as one of the most unrealistic sci fi movies ever made. There is a list of its inaccuracies.

But even when I saw the movie without thinking about knew a few nukes wouldnt generate enough energy to move shit in the earths mantle. Be like lighting off a firecracker in 10000 tons of jelly.

But these are really really big nukes. 😀
 
Heh, The Core is one of my top favorite ridiculous movies. I love it. Right up there with The Day After Tomorrow.

DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS MOVIE...aaaaaaaaaaaaaarg. This was my least favorite movie of all time. It was right after Columbia blew up. So what do these asswipes do? They start the movie with a 10 minute scene of a spaceship crashing into a city. Good job asswipes. I've never been in a more uncomfortable theater in my life. The movie itself is just shit. Awful shit. There was NO reason for this movie to be put out. The plot sucked, the acting was pure putrid filth, and the ending?? "ooooh unsungheroes.wps" or whatever horse-shit they showed the retard computer kid uploading. If this is the shit that made it into the movie I don't want to see what ended up on the cutting room floor. Seriously, this is the ONLY movie I have ever asked for my money back after. And I got it back too.
 
The best part about this movie is that it inspired the Hippie Drill in the South Park episode Die Hippie Die. :laugh:
