Line 1: {{Shortcut\|[[WP:PR]]}} '''''The Core''''' ([[2003]]) is a [[science fiction]] [[disaster movie]] very loosely based on the novel ''[[Core (novel)\|Core]]'' by [[Paul Preuss]]. It's about a team who have to drill to the center of the [[Earth]] and set off a series of [[nuclear]] explosions in order to start the Earth's [[Planetary core\|core]] spinning again. ''The Core'' was directed by [[Jon Amiel]], and starred [[Aaron Eckhart]], [[Delroy Lindo]], [[Hilary Swank]], and [[Stanley Tucci]]. <small>''[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Peer review\|action=purge}} Purge server cache]''</small> The film received low critical [[review]]s, primarily due to being a by-the-numbers disaster movie with a [[B-movie]] look and feel and dubious [[pseudo-science]]. Audiences responded similarly, and it did very poorly at the box-office.

It has everything: common physics misconceptions, blatant misrepresentations of physical laws, a complete range of stereotypes, ridiculous feats of engineering, and pure fabrication of scientific "facts". The weighty or sad parts are so inane, they made us laugh out loud. The dialog, plot, and action are predictable, if not outright tedious. Yet, the bad physics provide nonstop surprises. It's the worst physics movie we've ever viewed. It's so bad, it's almost entertaining.''
