The Core
Wow.
I have only seen a few movies that I walked out completely disgusted with myself for having spent any money, whatsoever, on. And I'm proud to say that list has expanded by this latest.
I saw Armageddon, with Bruce Willis, when it was on the big screen. And I thought there could not possibly be anything to rival the sheer foolishness and stupidity of the movie. Boyhowdy was I mistaken. The Core not only exceeded it, it perhaps doubled it. Such random plot complications, such ridiculous abuses of science. Such amazing modifications to simple things like distance and time.
I went into it expecting a horrible movie, with lame effects. And was I ever surprised by how far it exceeded my expectations.
It could only come from Hollywood, and now having experienced it, I'm sorry it was ever allowed out of the can.

I had fun seeing The Core, but that's all it was for me. Mindless entertainment. Silly eye candy. I guess my expectations were so low with regard to science that I was practically giddy when they got something right.
