Saw "The Core" Preview today
 

saw a preview before Star Trek Nemesis for a new movie called, The Core. Sci Fi movie reminisent of At the Earts Core about the core of the Earth stopping roatation so they gotta go fix it.

Cool Special Effects and looks much more entertaining than Armaggedon.

Anyone else see the preview?

Saw it too with Star Trek Nemesis on Friday.

Looks good. Sure reminds me of Armageddon.

Yeah, it looks like it should be good for a laugh and some popcorn value. There hasn't been a big budget, destruction of the world type movie in a while.

Guess they aren't done punishing us with treacle like Armaggedon and Deep Impact...stupid McNoopid.

"We need to jump-start the planet."
"That's impossible."
"But what if we could?"

"How much do you need?"
"Fourteen billion dollars."
"Will you take a check?"

"You want me to hack the planet? OK, I'll need Star Trek tapes and Hot Pockets."

Sorry, sounds dismal to me. I'm actively avoiding this one.

That line alone might make the movie worth $5.00. It got the biggest laugh since the preview was shown before Nemesis. I know this movie has been delayed for awhile but I might check it out.

From what I have read it was delayed due to the congestion of this Holiday season and because they wanted more time to do the effects..
Look on the bright side, at least its not from Brucheimer.

I'll probably check it out. I'm just glad to see movies like this being released after September 11th. I thought the days of blowing up landmarks all over the world in movies was over. These types of movies never win any awards, but they are fun popcorn movies.

I saw this preview last night. I leaned over to my friend and said "Why do they keep making crap like this?" Oh, look I can do special effects, let's destroy the world again and throw in some cheesy acting!

I saw it before Nemesis as well and thought that it looked like Volcano, with which I was less than impressed. I can see why they delayed this movie from the fall.

Hilary Swank: are you out to destroy your Oscar prestige totally?

The Core = Armageddon going in the opposite direction

You can count me out on this one. The premise is unbelievably stupid, and I already know how the entire movie is going to pan out.

"The core of the earth has stopped spinning. Hey, I gots an idea, let's drill to the center of the earth and detonate a nuclear explosion!"

:lol:

I believe it was "kung fu tapes" that he needed. I dunno, I'll probably check it out.

No it was Star Trek. The preview was attached to Nemesis, so I assume that is why Paramount added the Star Trek line to the trailer.

The version in front Nemisis when I saw it said "kung fu" tapes, as well. I thought the trailer looked horrid ... porno for those who like to see landmarks demolished.

This spring, everything gets ... Blow'd UP!

Was this intentionally funny? I spent the entire 3 minutes :lol:.

I think i'd rather watch a Rob Schneider movie...

Pass.

You go right ahead and go see a Schneider movie but dont say we didnt warn you.

I don't know cooper2000...i think Rob's got the acting chops to actually make you believe a stapler can come to life....;)

The preview looked really interesting for the first thirty seconds... But remember. This summer...

EARTH HAS A DEADLINE!

[/movie guy voice]

Any bets on how many millions of dollars this will make opening weekend? If the masses can spend $19 million on Maid in Manhattan, and $25 million on Jackass, then this should bring in at least $400 billion.

:lol:

We couldn't stop laughing at this trailer. Before it even really got started it was already horrible. The first line of the trailer said how goofy it was going to be:

"It was a secret government program, known as project destiny"

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And then the Token Scientist with the French Accent! :lol:

This might actually make "Left Behind" look like a good movie.


"UNTIL SOMETHING WENT WRONG...." :lol:

How much you want to bet it ends with someone or a group of people giving their lives to save humanity?

My money is on Bruce Willis... Or the French Scientist. :lol:

Ha! There was a dramatic pause right before this line and I actually said, out loud in my best dramatic voice, "Until something went wrong", not expecting them to actually use the most predictable and cheesy line possible. Well, they did. I burst out laughing. I'm sure everyone else thought I had already seen it and that I was a jerk.

I'm amazed that this kind of movie has such a great cast. Hopefully they'll be able to elevate it out of the Armageddon area (which shouldn't be that tough), and make it a decent popcorn flick.

Armageddon was a decent popcorn flick. This movie just looks ridiculous. I saw the preview a long while ago, awful, really awful.

Yeah, there was a trailer for this out months and months ago, and it looked unbelievably crappy then also.

Just watched the preview through Clark Kent's link, I am positive it said Star Trek. Either that or I am starting to hear things. ;)

It just seems strange that "Star Trek" and "Kung Fu" could be jumbled .... Okay. I'll make things easier. I'm wrong. ;)

Now I would love to see them let the earth crack in half. Both halves float off into space - The End. Now that would be a way to end a movie.

instead of "the end," it could say "oops"

I heard 'Kung Fu'. There are probaly 2 different versions.

D

But not before a scientist, who objected to the project all along, launches his infant son in a homemade rocket to a far distant planet. A planet that gives the child super-human abilities, where he must learn that great power etc. etc. etc.

If they spent all this time on special effects, it sure doesn't show. Mortal Kombat:Annihilation had better effects. I'm sorry, I'm just burnt out on all these "made to please generic America who prefers fullscreen over wide and gives Maid in Manhattan 19 million opening weekend when you can just spend 1.99 on the original called Pretty Woman" flicks. Horrible effects, some of the absolute worst forced humor, and the fact that this was made for about 80 million when that money could have been spent on actually good movies between 5-20 million, like Requiem For a Dream.

:lol: Lordy, did I see a bunch of these sorts of trailers before LOtR:tTT tonite...

If I saw it 5 years ago, I'd probably like it. If I saw it today, I would notice a few cliches, but I'd probably like it.

I'm trying to correct this, really.

I saw the "Star Trek" tapes version of the trailer, and it was before Nemesis.

And it wasn't just this movie but every movie trailer I saw before Nemesis and Two Towers that secured the fact that there will be very little asking for my money in the DVD market in 2003.

I'm very glad that these monstrous electrical storms are attracted to world monuments.

And what in god's name happened to the Coliseum. This electric crap builds up inside and starts spinning around before blowing out the building. WTF!!!!!!

And they have to have the one French/Russin guy to go along for the ride to help.

This movie is gonna be so good to laugh at. I'm getting the MST3K vibe.

Totally agree. I mean it looks like they took the script from Armageddon and just changed what they were drilling into. The road trip guy is basically Billy Bob Thornton. The guys going into the center of the Earth is just like Bruce Willis and his team of oil drillers. Then there is the token foreign guy. It looks like the characters are exactly the same. I wonder how much effort, outside of the special effects, it really took to make this movie. But i am sure it will make plenty of money.

Saw Nemesis last night. In the trailer in my theater they said Kung Fu.

Why does the trailer for The Core say "This Fall"?? Did I blink and miss the movie?

The Core was supposed to be released this Fall 2002, but it was delayed.

I agree, the special effects look pretty awful.
