Scientists discover that the Earth's core is about to stop spinning. This will cause tremendous natural disasters, wiping out life as we know it. A team of scientists are recruited in a crash project to send a ship and bomb into the center of the Earth to prevent the catastrophe. For reasons unknown, the earth's inner core has stopped rotating, causing the planet's electromagnetic field to rapidly deteriorate. Instantly, life around the globe begins to change dramatically. In Boston, 32 people with pacemakers, all within a 10-block radius, suddenly drop dead. In San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge collapses, sending hundreds of people plunging to their deaths. In London's Trafalgar Square, flocks of pigeons lose their ability to navigate, flying into panicked crowds, slamming into windshields and causing drivers to lose control of their cars. And in Rome, as thousands of tourists watch helplessly, an electrical superstorm reduces the ancient Roman Colosseum to rubble. Scrambling to resolve the crisis, government and military officials call upon geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes and a team of the world's most gifted scientists to travel into the earth's core in a subterranean craft piloted by "terranauts" Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs and Commander Robert Iverson. Their mission: Detonate a nuclear device that will reactivate the core and save the world from sure destruction. This film harkens back to the disaster movies of yesterday, only with new fangled fx thrown into the mix. A mostly entertaining piece that sticks to the formula so tightly that every plot point, every character and every death is completly predictible from the opening frame. While I would have prefered if they had tweaked the formula a bit so as to not make it so predictible, the effects were good and the film was still entertaining. GRADE: B- The Core: 5/10: Disaster movies always seem to do better when the disaster is local in scope. A city threatened by avalanche, a tower threatened by an inferno, a Poseidon threatened by an adventure, that kind of thing. Earth killer movies are always a harder road. <br/><br/>You have your 4 standard horseman of the earth disaster; nuclear war, space invaders, plagues (esp. those that create zombies), and meteors. Lately earth killing movies have gotten creative and lets face it stupid, global warming (The Day after Tomorrow), President George W Bush (Fahrenheit 911) and now The Core with it's well I'm still not sure what broke. <br/><br/>The core of the earth stopped spinning (not the earth itself mind you) which is causing the electromagnetic field to dissipate. Okay, that sounds serious. So that would cause what exactly? Apparently the movie wasn't all that sure so we get scenes of some the lamest and implausible disasters ever. Lets put two under the scientific microphone shall we.<br/><br/>One involves birds going all Hitchcock in London due to their inability to navigate using the magnetic field. Okay that may effect the birds ability to fly south (Oh my god the pigeons they're going east!), but even the Mr. Magoo of the avian world wouldn't start flying into statues and buses.<br/><br/>In another all too short montage a lightning storm destroys the Roman Coliseum. I'm not sure what is more unlikely, lighting striking relatively short rock structures, or the granite exploding when it does. Lightning, last time I checked, was attracted to metal. <br/><br/>But what would you expect from a movie that puts a giant windshield in a rock-drilling machine (Made with that magic metal Unobtainium). Keep in mind I've only scratched the surface of the silliness. <br/><br/>Acting wise Stanley Tucci is a joy, Hillary Swank still kind of looks like a guy, and everyone else is forgettable. The Core is enjoyable in that bad 50's sci-fi kind of way. But they needed more (and more plausible) disasters, and much less well everything else. The similarities between this film and Michael Bay's overblown "Armageddon"are too numerous to ignore; the crucial difference is that this one is actually pretty good. When the Earth's molten core loses its spin, the result of which will mean disaster to the planet, six scientists—geophysicist Professor Josh Keyes (<a href="/name/nm0001173/">Aaron Eckhart</a>), weapons expert Dr Serge Leveque (<a href="/name/nm0001409/">Tchéky Karyo</a>), researcher Conrad Zimsky (<a href="/name/nm0001804/">Stanley Tucci</a>), NASA astronauts Commander Robert Iverson (<a href="/name/nm0339304/">Bruce Greenwood</a>) and Major Rebecca "Beck" Childs (<a href="/name/nm0005476/">Hilary Swank</a>), and rogue scientist Ed "Braz" Brazzelton (<a href="/name/nm0005148/">Delroy Lindo</a>), who has designed a vessel, affectionately named Virgil, that can withstand intense heat and pressure—travel to the center of the Earth through the Mariana Trench and attempt to get the core spinning again by setting off a series of nuclear explosions. The Core is based on a screenplay written by screenwriters Cooper Layne and John Rogers. Most likely no. The deepest any human has gone is seven miles (not even past the crust), and it would take a monumental, if not impossible, effort to get any further. Keep in mind, however, that this is a science fiction movie and that anything can happen. This movie could take place several years in the future, so they may have created the materials needed for the ship to stay intact in the hot temperatures in the Earth's core. Project DESTINI (Deep Earth Seismic Trigger Initiative) was an attempt to propagate earthquakes through the Earth's core as a weapon. Designed by Zimsky, DESTINI's first activation unintentionally stopped the Earth's rotation instead. The bombs begin to detonate as planned, successfully restarting the core's rotation. Inside the stalled Virgil, Josh realizes that the unobtainium shell can be used as a solar panel, converting the core heat into energy and giving them enough thrust to escape. Virgil squeezes between two tectonic plates and breaks through the Earth's crust 800 feet under the Pacific Ocean somewhere near Hawaii. Now lacking the core heat to power the ship, it stops, leaving Josh and Beck without power or communications. In an attempt to attract attention, Josh activates a weak sonar beacon. On the surface, the military picks up sonar signals, which Rat (<a href="/name/nm0702809/">DJ Qualls</a>) recognizes as whale song and realizes that the whales are being attracted to Virgil. Consequently, the military rallies around the whales and locates the ship. Inside Virgil, Josh and Beck are huddled together discussing how the world will never know what Serge, Zimsky, Iverson, and Braz did and why they died. "Unless it all got out somehow," Josh replies. In the final scene, a week later, Rat logs onto the internet at a Cyber Cafe, revealing to the world the Destini project and the names of the unsung heroes who saved the world. Not very realistic at all. More detailed information about the physics can be gathered from a given review of the movie (made by the Intuitor). After he's done tinkering with Josh's phone, Rat tells Josh he won't be charged for long-distance on the phone for as long as he has it. Presumably, Rat being a technology genius, he was able to use the whistling tone he created with the gum wrapper, in addition to keying in several commands, to reprogram the phone. a5c7b9f00b Chuck full movie hd 720p free downloadhindi Batgirl: Year One free downloadGuilty Pleasures full movie in hindi free download mp4The Pyramid 720pDownload Extinct full movie in hindi dubbed in Mp4Gun Shy malayalam movie downloadSummer Wars movie download in hdJudge Dredd: Superfiend movie in tamil dubbed downloadSpeed download movie freeCarousel Ride full movie in hindi free download hd 1080p
