Dr. Josh Keyes: "Then they brought me in when the pacemakers quit and boom, you know, I'm Apocalypse Boy."

Plot Synopsis: 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 movie is really awesome. It has all the action to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire 135 minutes. I really recommend this movie to those who enjoy a great 'end of the world' movie. I give The Core a 5 out of 5 stars.
This movie is rated PG-13 for sci-fi life/death situations, and brief language. |
