The Core

Improved Essays
The movie I watched was called The Core and was directed by Jon Amiel. Some of the main actors in this movie are, Dr. Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), scientists Dr. Serge Leveque (Tchéky Karyo), Dr. Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci), Dr. Ed Brazzelton (Delroy Lindo) and Rebecca (Hilary Swank). The main focus of this movie was to show what it would be like to travel to the core on a life saving mission. In this movie Dr. Josh Keyes notices that the Earth's inner core has stopped rotating. So Dr. Keyes and a few other powerful scientists go traveling deep into the earth to help bring the Earth’s crust back to normal before the atmosphere and world falls apart. Their mission was to donate a device that would start the inner core again to save the Earth …show more content…
Some examples of the events that were realistic was when there was lava being shown at the inner core when they reached it. I know this is true because the inner core contains lava and molten rock because it is so hot. Another part in this movie that I found realistic was when the Earth's atmosphere started breaking, we saw that people were getting burned because the sun’s rays were coming through and burning everything. This is true because the thing that is saving us from burning because of the sun’s rays is our atmosphere. Some of the most unrealistic parts were when they were in the mantle and they made it into a crystal bubble and I feel like this is unlikely to happen. Another thing that was not believable, was the mission itself. The possibility of the Earth’s inner core stopping is very unlikely to happen. Also the fact that they have suits that are heat resistant is unbelievable because the temperatures down there are so hot that it is possible to melt anything. Lastly the part that included the Golden Gate Bridge was really unbelievable because it melted very quickly and it didn't look very realistic when it happened because it broke into pieces instead of cracking in half and falling into the water. Therefore in my opinion this movie was more action based than science based because there were many parts that were hard to

    Flight 93 may have been accurate movie based on the United States Government’s recollection, but there may be evidence that concludes otherwise. Flight 93 was not a very exaggerated movie, it is filled with raw emotions of those who had to say goodbye to their families. Most of the nitty gritty details were captured in their essence but some larger details were left out completely. The movie was a perfect replica of the US government’s press release of what happened during 9/11. Some large details however were non-existent in the movie.…

    Despite the hordes of mechanical problems faced in the aftermath of the disaster, both the astronauts and Mission Control were determined to overcome them all. With remarkable brilliance, the scientists at NASA came up with ingenious strategies that saved the lives of the Apollo 13 crew. This story inspires me because it is a tale of people who believed that even the most dire of situations can be conquered if you can work hard and find a creative solution. NASA saw it the same way. Although Apollo 13 never landed on the moon, NASA’s intelligence and nerve was tested by this trial--and they passed the test with flying colors.…
