Reaction Paper: The Core Movie
Watching a science fiction film was always tricky. For a viewer to enjoy a sci-fi film the narrative must atleast be able to explain the scientific concepts in a simple, crystal clear manner. The Core’s script did perfectly well. Also, I recently acquired further knowledge about the Earth’s interior so I found myself having no difficulty on understanding and acknowledging the geological facts in the story. Despite basic geological facts, the film was also bombarded with a couple of more of scientific concepts, which I must admit is hard to fully accept, given that I have no appropriate or sufficient knowledge about such. But the film was entertaining enough to overlook such sceptical bits and besides, it’s a sci-fi trick after all. It is basically a typical end-of-the-world Disaster film, and I guess it can be either slightly possible or highly unlikely to happen .
The Core is a 2003 science-fiction film wherein the world is about to encounter its impending doom because the Earth’s outer core is stalling. It is revealed by a geophysicist that if the liquid outer core stop rotating then the Earth’s electromagnetic field will collapse, making the earth vulnerable to disintegration. The only way they can save the Earth was to somehow restart the activity in the outer core. To do so, a group of scientists and astronauts were formed. Together, they build a ship equipped with high powered lasers and capable of extreme heat. Using the ship, the team must navigate its way to the outer core and release series of nuclear explosions. After a couple of losing a few scientists, their mission was a success and the Earth is brought back to normal.
