First Shots From The Core

[ -> N/A]

<html><body>Some of you probably have not heard of this upcoming movie about the end of the world, so I will try to explain it in ways that make sense. The Core is basically about how the rotation of the Earth is slowing and a bunch of crazy scientists come up with a plan to save us all. They decide traveling to the core in a subterranean craft piloted by terranauts and detonating a nuke will solve all of our problems. The first F/X pictures of the movie showed up at the German* site <A HREF=http://www.moviegod.de/>MovieGod.de</A> and they look strangely familiar. Since I do not feel like stealing bandwidth today you have to <A HREF=http://www.moviegod.de/film_news_detail.php?id=2321>see them for yourself</A>.

You can expect to find The Core in theaters March 28th. Spotted at <A HREF=http://pamedia.com/>Post Apocalyptic Media</A>.*A HUGE thanks goes out to Bridgeburner for pointing out my terrible mistake earlier. I hope this doesn't cause a war between the Americans and great German people or something.</body></html>

heh, im totally not looking forward to that movie... the more in depth you look at the plot the worse it is. Cause their "subbteranian craft" is a space shuttle... modified to travel underground... cause everyone knows, something built to withstand the vacuum of space can easily be changed to tunnel through stone and molten lava. :P

Heh, they used to make crap like this all the time in the 50's. If it has a bullshit love story it'll suck. But if they balance it out with mole people I'll definitely give the movie a chance.

I saw a trailer for this when I went to see Two Towers late last year. It looked like crap, somewhere around the level of Armageddon, although without Bruce Willis.

Gee, everybody knows the aftermath of the nuclear war would be millenia of nuclear winter, or planet will explode into bits and pieces! Giant mantis, hulking supermutants, doomsday cults - puh-lease! Fallout plot is ridiculous!

No, but space shuttles are also built to withstand pressure and temperature the shuttle suffers during reentry, as well as barrage of jagged pieces of space junk that might be flying around at supersonic speed. I'm not saying that it's quite the same thing (hah!), but the premise is not so stupid as you might think.

You can put coming of age and bringing down racial barriers under that list. Hollywood is trying to be so damn politically correct and cater to all audiences it makes me sick.

It is, but Fallout doesn't claim to be a "possible" future, like most movies do.

- In the near future
- In a distant future
- Soon!
- In a time not to far from now

Whatever - just take that Seinfield movie intro commercial and you'll have the list...

Anyone else see the 'nukes are good' message this movie presents? Nukes are the only way to save the world apparently.

Haha, yeah... That's something i gotta see. I mean nukes'll nuke stuff... How's a nuke gonna make the core "turn" again? Wtf?

To me it'd just blast a big hole in the middle of the earth and it'd kinda collapse on it's own. Well, I'm no physisist nor nuclear scientist, but it sounds way too weird.

I bet nukes would work on those pesky jar lids that are impossible to open. Oh and the cure for the common cold? Nukes.

Philosophy classes have their "Life Boat Situations" to fling ethics at a wall (or gunnel), to see how they bounce.

I image that physics and astro physics classes have gone beyond the "probability of breathing a molecule from the last gasp of Julius Ceasar"
problems, to how to restablize (or destableize) the earth's rotation (or precession). It might have more curb appeal than calculating the clockwise or counter clockwise flow of draining toilet water in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Cosmic billards, in the grand validation of the decay of energy systems. AND, the sex appeal of renewal through THE BIG BANG can't be beat, often.

This flick reminds me of a movie I saw in the '60's, (the title evades me),
where Nuke tests pinged the earth out of precession or rotation, and introduced an endless summer, wait , THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE ! Choreographed nukes put the planet back on the right path.........

Yes, a cold war plot line! A love story! Minimal special effects saved by good acting! I am gratified that the themes of my childhood still find a chance to REMAKE the guileless yuppie spawn into the image of their blood soaked parents. Yuppie spawn blithly casting their vote (BUT never seen a voting booth, the sweet political virgins!) for global warming
AND REPUBLICAN middle east adventurism, by driving their SUV's to this flick, very soon to be seen in your multiplex, THE CORE....

Will nukes fix any of this?

Haha, that's a perfect signature quote.
