    This movie looks really dumb. I thought we exhausted the whole natural distater genere in the late 90's??? Horrible timing as well with the war coming up too.

    Another Question: Why the hell did Hillary Swank take this gig?

    Your right Drewdog this sounds very painful. Why Hillary Swank would be i a movie like this is confusing. I guess she got paid well or something.
    Here is the plot summary from imdb.com

    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 is recruited in a crash project to send a ship and bomb into the center of the Earth to prevent the catastrophe.

    Sounds like a 50's movie on MST3K

    This movie is pretty lame. From my understanding, the reason things go to hell is because the US put a weapon there that caused earthquakes with pin point accuracy. Now it's gone crazy and the crew has to destroy the weapon.

    Seriously, like there wouldn't be a fail safe to destroy said weapon. Of course, do we even need to talk about the total disregard of geology?

    It'll be enjoyable, if not only for it's unintended comedic value.

    Plus, I like watching cities fictionally blow up. :)

    Whats really amazing is, the movie Armageddon is still being show on TV (saw it last night). This is a movie that a) Has a space shuttle exploding and skyscrapers in NY collapsing at the very beginning of the movie. :eek:

    Armageddon, Deep Impact, Independence Day, and all other natural disaster movies that I can't think of right now all sucked. I think we have another.

    Since when does the world being invaded by aliens count as a "natural disaster"??

    If people can't take it, they can always change the channel. Despite the appearance of Ben Affleck I still dig that movie.

    The Core looks like a 6-packer.

    Idependence Day was pretty good. I love the part about the expensive NASA toilets being used to fund the Alien research. Too funny. And probably true.

    This movie does look cheasy, but you never know. I said that about Spiderman because of toby Maguire and I definately did not want to see Rudy because of Shawn Aston. But they both gave me goosebumps. It's all up to the director. but the marketing plan was wimpy.

    Then you got a film like Stormship Troopers that looks great in the previews, and then just gets goofy. I have to admit its a fun USA movie to watch now tho'. But it wasn't anything like the preview.

    Who's hotter? Liv Tyler (only redeeming quality of Armageddon) or Hillary Swank?

    Do I have to pick. Ugh. If I had to, I'd start with asking myself what I like more-big ****ing lips or big ****ing teeth.
