Leave your thoughts about The Core.
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettThe big letdown are the stultifying visuals that look more like 80's theme park motion-ride effects. Now boarding Core Tours! |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithBoosted by a fine cast that manages to sell Layne's purple script, the movie never really seems to stop. It just keeps going, just keeps drilling, just keeps moving, offering a wild ride in the process, one that's just absurd enough to enjoy. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard Roeper[I]t's not campy enough to be consistently entertaining, and it's certainly not exciting or smart enough to be a first-rate sci-fi epic like a Deep Impact. |
| Countingdown.comLarry CarrollIt isn't a perfect film, but it's a perfectly fine film to tide us over until the summer. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffEveryone involved knows how far-fetched the plot is, so they present the adventure with a playful sense of humor. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe real core of The Core is the beautiful friendship between a highly emotive Eckhart and the sacrificial Karyo. Their bond is the best thing to happen to Franco-American relations since SpaghettiOs. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIt's a straight-ahead adventure with the usual number of thrills, but with the added virtue of being smarter and more sober than one might expect. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaThe Core is unabashed Hollywood spectacle, but with a cast of up-from-indie actors that makes the cataclysmic kitsch all the more fun to behold. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldThe surprise is that it's one of the most exciting and enjoyable disaster epics to come out of Hollywood in some time. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanWhen we are living in a post-terrorism era (and in a current war situation), it's kind of nice to sit down and watch a movie in which everyone is worrying about something we in the audience really don't have to worry about. |
