The Core (2003)

Junk, yes, but it's breezy and goofy junk with no aspirations other than to provide undemanding fun in the vein of '50s B-scifi. The game cast helps, especially a loose and confident Aaron Eckhart. It can't quite stick the landing at the end and it goes on longer than it reasonably should, but there's a surprising amount of entertainment to be had here. People who care about scientific accuracy in film, though, should stay away, lest their heads explode.

Grade: B-
