Trivia:

After the crash of the space shuttle Columbia, trailers for the film were recalled to remove a brief scene of a space shuttle making an emergency landing, but the producers stated that the sequence wouldn't be removed from the actual film. more

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the Golden Gate Bridge is melting away, one of the main support wires whips back and slams into the car of the guy whose arm was burnt. The audio has him screaming, but if you look in the rear-view mirror, you can see that his mouth is only partially open in the same expression of confusion he had seconds before. more

Engaging and thrilling adventure, 30 September 2008
8/10
Author: Gordon-11 from Hong Kong

This film is about the rescue mission by top scientists travelling down to the core of the Earth, in order to make the core spinning again.

Yes, "The Core" defies science, and even logic. Even laymen knows a lot of things in the film are not facts. But then, we have to remember that it is not a science documentary or a national geographic show. It's just a disaster film that is meant to entertain. With this in mind, I think "The Core" is great entertainment.

The pacing of "The Core" is great. There is not a moment of boredom. There is always a glitch after another to keep the adrenaline going. I got really engaged by the film, and I cared for the characters. I was touched by their selfless sacrifice, and ecstatic about the ending.

If you treat "The Core" as popcorn entertainment instead of an educational documentary, you will surely be entertained.
