How would you describe the life threatening problem that had to be solved in the movie The Core?

Answer 1

Honestly, that movie made NO freakin' sense to me.

I don't even know where to begin. From the core of the Earth that rotates, to Delroy Lindo's character who creates the drilling vehicle from "unobtainium?" WTF?

Why not just call it rediculous and be done with it?

Oh, then they're gonna use nuclear weapons (weapons of mass destruction) to "save" the world?

Then the computer geek finds them because the whales told him where they were? WTF?

It's too bad that Mystery Science Theater 3000 no longer airs because they would have had a field day with this crap-tastic peice of cinematic fecal material.

I definitely would have loved to see Joel and the robots tear this movie to shreds.

Answer 2

The way I understood it, (and trust me when I say I am definately not a scientist), is the Earths core generates the rotation of Earth, also maintaining the ozone layer.

Should the Earth stop rotating, the sun's rays would just burn us like a marshmellow.

He gave the demonstration with the fruit and the blowtorch.

What is scary, we do not know how fast Earth should actually rotate or what the effects would be if it did slow down incredibly.

Look at all the dead planets in our system, you have to wonder just how did Earth survive?

Answer 3

In one word: Unlikely.

That is...unless someone has found a way to create labatory generated black holes.

But then again....we said the same thing about AIDS, which MAY WELL had it's start in some government bio-lab.

Answer 4

Tepid.
