In between her two Oscar winning roles in Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby, Hilary Swank got to save the Earth in The Core. The film is a big budget maximum special effects science fiction disaster thriller which was so common in the Seventies. The only thing it lacked was a bunch old time movie names being put in harm's way of the disaster. Of course between then and now those who might have rated guest star roles have either gone to the great beyond or are in nursing homes.
I don't understand the trashing this film has gotten in certain quarters. Hilary Swank is always good even if the films she appears aren't always of the quality of her two Oscar winners. She gets to work with hunky Aaron Eckhardt in saving the planet whose magma core has stopped its own rotation, causing all kinds of strange disasters all over the globe.
Swank is the pilot, Eckhardt a scientist and Delroy Lindo the designer of a prototype machine for exploring the inner reaches of the earth and the high temperatures it has. It's getting pressed into service fast so that Swank and the group can deposit nuclear bombs in strategic places and set them off. That's the plan, but there's a lot going both within her crew and up top at the command center where people have some conflicting agendas.
I liked the special effect very much and the film keeps the tension going throughout. On the top the efforts of DJ Qualls should be noted as he keeps something nasty from happening with some creative work that his hacker character is capable of.
The Core is a very well made science fiction thriller with the attention on the action and at a tense pace that never lets up until the very end. I wouldn't miss it.
