Goofs
(at around 1 min) In the opening scene, we see a close-up of the man's watch, which shows the hour hand pointed directly at the 10 mark and the minute hand pointed straight down (at the 6, or 30 mark). Given the position of the minute hand, the hour hand should be halfway between two markings. I.e. if it's supposed to be 10:30, the hour hand should be halfway between the 10 and 11 marks. See more »

The core of the earth has stopped spinning, and its protective magnetic field is disappearing. The world starts to suffer from unusual disasters. The only people that could stop it is a disparate group of individuals who must travel to the center of the earth and set off some nuclear warheads.
It's a good excuse to blow up all the world's best places. The science is passable as these doomsday scenario goes. It's not the worst sci-fi idea. This has some fun moments. They had fun blowing stuff up. The story moves along nicely. It's fun even with DJ Qualls 'hacking' the earth. The CG is top notch. There isn't anything wrong with that part. It's a big budget treatment of a sci-fi B-movie concept.
