The only way to save Earth from catastrophe is to drill down to the core and set it spinning again. 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. Well…The Big Dumb Action movie sub-genre known as the Disaster Movie certainly has its share of expensive, implausible examples: The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, etc. The Core sits right alongside these movies and outdoes them in dumbness. While it wasn't horrible, and had moments of being a fun ride, The Core was far from great.<br/><br/>The plot is just about as ridiculous as it gets: the earth's core has stopped turning, and a crack team of "experts" has to (what else?) set off a nuclear warhead to start it up again. These include the Aryan (blond, built, square-jawed) academic played by Aaron Eckhardt, the SuperWoman navigator played by Hilary Swank (i.e. White American Alpha male and female), plus a French guy, an old guy, and a black guy. Who do you think is going to kick it? The team inside the Rocket to the Centre of the Earth plays out its inner tensions against the team on the surface, which includes the always awesome Alfre Woodard as a sort of Lt Uhura whose responsibility seems to be to talk to the team, Richard Jenkins as a by-the-books-need-to-know Military Overlord, and DJ Qualls as comic relief-cum-hacker. Even though the cast choices are great, unfortunately the characters have barely even enough character to be stereotypes, and their real purpose is to move around the movie magic of a planet falling in on itself.<br/><br/>So a giant penis, I mean rocket drill, hurtles in a large vagina, I mean tunnel, into the earth's core, which calls up all kinds of images about returning to the womb. They've made it out of some magical substance that gets better the more pressure you put onto it, cooled it with liquid nitrogen so it'll withstand the nine THOUSAND degree heat, and made its occupants into superheroes that can casually lift a series of warheads and move them into separate compartments for detonation. Not to mention the super-laser beam that will blow holes through rocks, allow the ship to glide through, and have the holes effortlessly close behind it. All of that is taken care of in the whole "willing suspension of disbelief" that's necessary to watch a movie like this, so I'll forgive it, because of the sheer joy of any disaster-movie. You watch it to watch the heroes get stressed out, and overcome it through the overwhelming force of their American spirit.<br/><br/>And boy, is this movie American. Not only do you have the clean-cut stone-chiseled action heroes win, but for some reason, the entire PLANET is screwed, and the Americans seem to be the only ones with the brains or powers of observation to even notice, let alone try to fix it! Never mind the other hundred or so "First World" countries that might possibly have scientific researchers or be looking at electromagnetic activity.<br/><br/>If you want depth or character or a believable plot, this isn't the movie for you. If you want a fun ride, good actors who must be doing this for money, and a vast imagination that compensates for its implausibility, enjoy. Myself, I couldn't help thinking of DJ Qualls' comment in the commentary for Hustle and Flow–he was proud they'd made H&F for less than $1 million, because he'd watch other movies and think "You spent $XXM on this?" Indeed. What is it about free DVDs, that we will watch it even though we know the movie is bad? 'The Core' was like that with me. It's saving grace is that ALL its science is bad science, the premise that a now stationary Earth's core will somehow trigger widespread destruction and allow the Sun's energy to roast us simply is absurd. But so are all the other 'scientific' elements of the story, so we don't spend any time really worrying about it. Any more than we wonder how Superman can fly or Spiderman can shoot webs. There are even web pages devoted to a detailed analysis of all the flaws. However, I was happy to see them use the term 'unobtainium' for a new metal with super properties. In the motorcycle brotherhood, for years we have jokingly called certain parts as made of 'unobtainium', which was a way of saying that the part was so hard to find. So, the movie is just mediocre, but can be a fun 2 hours for one that is in the right frame of mind. Or, an excellent viewing for a class of physics or geology students, as a forum to discuss the bad science.<br/><br/>SPOILERS follow – turns out the problem resulted from a military test of a new weapon based in Alaska. In a neat piece of movie magic, we see the sun's rays through a hole in the electromagnetic field (couldn't really happen) melt supports of the Golden Gate bridge, and we see it and vehicles fall into the bay. So this team of assorted guys and one gal plunge into the Earth's core carrying 5 nuclear bombs that their calculations show will start the core spinning once again if exploded just at the right places, at just the right times. One by one the Earthship encounters problems, crew members die in the Earth's crust, but the mission is pulled off, and the Earthship gets nuclear blast-propelled back to the surface, dodging obstacles and finding crevices, narrowly avoiding being crushed by a moving tectonic plate, and ending up on the ocean floor, where they were rescued after some whales help signal where they were. Just your typical disaster movie in the end. With funny, funny science. The Core is unabashed Hollywood spectacle, but with a cast of up-from-indie actors that makes the cataclysmic kitsch all the more fun to behold. 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 McQ in hindi download free in torrentPinoy Fear Factor song free downloadUnbelief tamil dubbed movie downloadSuperhero Fight Club 2.0 full movie in hindi downloadThe Desert HeatUncharted 2: Among Thieves in hindi download free in torrentCleaning Up movie free download in hindi\ in hindi download free in torrentThe Professor movie downloadArmageddon in hindi free download
