"The Core" - Has the premise changed? (1 Viewer)

[Dan Rudolph]

i thought armageddon was to the extreme, i mean the drill workers had to go and land on a meteor in outerspace just to start their job. Here, they don't have to go to any extreme place to start their job.

I would tend to think with all the additional pressure and heat, the Earth's core is extreme to the max.

Its time for a fresh idea.. instead of re-hashed drilling movies.

The government weapon thing, I'll have to check on this, but I believe it's been an addition to try to fix the movie

Going by what I have seen in the trailer, I think that's like putting a band-aid on a sucking chest wound.

So I guess the thinking was, "Hmm, this movie is missing something. I know! Lets add an extremely tired, overused plot device by blaming the disaster on some evil military project gone wrong." How smart...

I think the real disaster is going to be the box office take for this turd.

So it shouldn't be surprising that the trailer uses the same music from The Rock and a variant of Holst's Mars.

This one's gonna be a real stinker.

Has the premise changed? No, i don't think it has gotten any dumber (can it?)

The best thing about this "movie" is the copy on the poster:

"The Only Way Out Is In"

Otherwise, it's silly season again for noisy, stupid, poorly acted and written movies. Oh well.

I don't mind "drilling" movies so much.

As long as they're rated X.

i think jeff and a few others are right.
it was origionally a movie about the core not spinning and they were going to drill down and blow up some nuclear devices to get it spinning again.

now it appears to be about a machine that can create earthquakes that needs to be stopped before its too late.

here is the old thread from last auguste, were several people mention the plot being just this.

core stops spinning, send in the nukes.

Yeh I remember the core not spinning stuff also.

Anyone else think the CGI in the recent trailers looks terrible?

ok i just saw the much better trailer on the jackass movie for the core.

it still has the core not spinning premise but now it is caused by man's creation of a device that is "a secret government program" called "project destiny" one "that can generate targeted seismic events" "intended to use earthquakes to attack our enemies" "it was a perfect untraceable weapon. until something went wrong"

and this is a direct quote from one of the characters in the trailer..."i can't wait to get into an untested ship,go to the center of the earth,and restart it's core with 1000 megatons of NUCULAR weapons."'


just in case any one still has interest.
