The Core

[ssurgul]

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.

Well, I for one went in with low expectations, and so was not disappointed. For the record, I don't see how The Core could be worse than Armageddon, but that's me.

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.
