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… From TMDB

56 of 56 · most liked firstWatching The Core got me thinking… given all that has happened in the last month or so, I don’t *ever* want to see another movie where the whole world bands together—led by the U.S.—to save the world. That’s less believable than a cobalt-crusted geode in the mantle.
neutral · AI labelView post →What’s a dumb movie you will always stan? Mine is The Core where Delroy Lindo gets out of his car in the center of the earth to heroically sacrifice himself and is talking on the radio to the other characters like “yep…extremely hot…I’m blind now…verrrry hot”
positive · AI labelView post →What's a dumb movie you will stan to the ends of time? I have to go with The Core. Everything about it from the science to the character motivations to EVERYTHING is dumb as hell, but I love that movie too much to give a damn. I am unabashedly and unironically entertained by that movie. It owns.
positive · AI labelView post →now that I have video I can share Stanley Tucci delivering the greatest line in cinematic history in the art house film, The Core (2003)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Core is simultaneously an absolute dog's egg of a film *and* the perfect background accompaniment to farting about with resin dinosaur models that feels entirely appropriate for a long weekend when you're mostly stuck in a chair because of a bad back.
neutral · AI labelView post →In this house we do not criticize The Core, which is an absolutely terrible (complimentary) earth science movie and one of my favorite movies ever
positive · AI labelView post →what's a movie less than 60% on rotten tomatoes that you consider to be a perfect movie? like not a bit, genuinely perfect film. Your semi-regular reminder that I love love love The Core way more than I should ever love love love such a film. 🎥
positive · AI labelView post →someone should show trump the movie The Core, about a space ship that goes to the center of the earth to light off a nuke to restart the magma spin (???), and tell him it's the news and that it's actually happening, just to see what he'd say on tv
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching 'The Core'. A truly underestimated sci-fy 'bad movie'. It's the first time our daughter (10) watches it. She is loving it and just asked me if I have 'a book about the mantle and the core'. Yeah, a few... Win-win. 🧪⚒️
positive · AI labelView post →armageddon is such a hogshit stupid movie but i have soft spot for it the same way i have a soft spot for The Core
neutral · AI labelView post →God The Core is still just such a fun movie. Not in an ironic way or a so-bad-it’s-good way. Is just honestly fun and entertaining. Which is all I want from a movie. Everything else is extra icing.
positive · AI labelView post →Now that the "geoscientists are usually good guys in movies, but tend to die" paper got picked up by Science, I'm re-upping my writing about The Core (2003), which the paper egregiously excludes from their analysis: medium.com/@adeene.dent...
neutral · AI labelView post →Greenwood was great in the film, to his credit. Stanley Tucci too. Aaron Eckhart is oddly kinda terrible tho. It's also hard to believe The Core was only six years before the Star Trek reboot! It feels *much* older.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just seen a french disaster film that makes the Core and Moonfall seems scientifically plausible. The oceans and the land swap places (?) and there are oxygen crazed crabs (?) and it's all played perfectly straight.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Core (2003) tonight, and it is the single stupidest disaster movie premise ever conceived, and it's also the best one. That movie is so insane. More than any other movie, The Core DARES you to suspend your disbelief lol. Literally none of the science makes sense but trust the movie.
positive · AI labelView post →The Core, an utter dogshit film that understood the assignment
positive · AI labelView post →very soberly co-developing the theory that the movie The Core (2003) is an allegory for lesbian sex
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw this and was like...did he write The Core?!?! lol I never even looked at who made that majestic film I've watched 10 times.
neutral · AI labelView post →What is the best movie genre? That's right, it's DISASTER MOVIES. Fun Fact - there has never been a disaster movie that is not amazing. (I will not be taking follow-up questions). Anyway, I've never seen THE CORE, so I'm checking it out. I assume it's also amazing.
neutral · AI labelView post →If there's a genre of movie that is "aggressively stupid yet fun", then the number one movie in this category is "The Core". This movie is stupid fun. Scientifically illiterate, it's fully self-aware of how ridiculous it is. A disaster movie with a great cast who are all in on the joke. #Movies

neutral · AI labelView post →fun fact, the makers of the Core tried to get him to help promote the movie, which may have motivated his proposal: archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....
neutral · AI labelView post →On "The Core," a fun movie that tried to bolster its nonsensical premise with handwaving science greebles. I liked the actors though. Leave Jules Verne Alone, and other thoughts
neutral · AI labelView post →My god The Core. One time when my daughter was in high school we made her boyfriend sit through The Core on Family Movie Night and he really liked her but he didn’t know us at all so he took the movie seriously and it was epic. We still talk about it 😂
positive · AI labelView post →A really mid movie called 'The Core' when I was 5/6. Watched a scene where some characters were crushed/burned to death and ran crying to my mom who then chewed out my bewildered dad and brother lol. Also some zombie movies
negative · AI labelView post →The way my face lit up when I turned on the TV and The Core was paused from when I started it before bed. So excited honk a fat one and finish this terrible movie! The CG is so bad.
negative · AI labelView post →it's because it's literally illegal for fiduciary actors to NOT persue the highest profits possible. this is the CORE REASON AMERICAN CAPITALISM IS AN OROBOROS
neutral · AI labelView post →How dare you badmouth The Core. It is such B-movie trash you cannot help but love it.
positive · AI labelView post →He’s describing the 2004 disaster movie The Core, isn’t he…?
neutral · AI labelView post →That movie where they tunnel to the core of the Earth? Possibly called The Core? May be stupider, but I've heard it's at least a decent watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →"The Core" (2003) is a movie that I think would be, with the right people in charge, a fantastic movie to remake.
positive · AI labelView post →The Core was dumb as hell but actually a pretty fun movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Soften up a film: The Core beliefs
neutral · AI labelView post →May I have a moment? Something is bizarre around here I am 64 years old I don’t ever remember being 90° in October Something is wrong It could be like that movie “The Core” PERHAPS SOMETHING TRUMP DID IN HIS FIRST TERM THAT HE’S TRYING TO COVER UP And like he said, we are dead already

Get the Core Set + any ‘Feature Film’ scenario and give it a try! I picked Bad Times at Buddyland 🧸 (Makeshift playmat model’s own)

neutral · AI labelView post →@spacewhalerider.com Please review this movie (The Core 2?). Intrigued by “Digger is a mega-budget Dr. Strangelove riff so detached from human truth that its most believable character is a one-eyed animatronic cat named Maggie". www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

neutral · AI labelView post →The Core might not win any awards for scientific accuracy, and sure, the premise alone invites every kind of eye-roll, but what it does deliver is something we’ve been losing fast in today’s cinematic landscape: original storytelling that doesn't try to go viral or squeeze itself into a franchise mold. It’s from that 2000 to 2010 cultural crossroads, before everything became about metrics and trend-chasing. This was when movies still dared to be weird, flawed, ambitious, and most importantly,…

If you encrypt all of your stuff & live in a country without key-disclosure laws.

positive · AI labelView post →#DailyStream: don’t look down? The Earth’s core has gone wonky. Scientists say not to worry. But that’s precisely what They *would* say. We should send Aaron Eckhart and Hilary Swank to check it out. Like in 2003’s better-than-you-think-it-is #TheCore. @hbomax US, @NetflixUK

I will fight you anyway.) https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00167-1#:~:text=A%20rotational%20shift,rotation%20had%20stopped%20around%202009. #science #thecore
