All Spoilers Movie Review: The Core

Hey Fam!

Better late than never amirite? I happily blame schoolwork and an overabundance of reading for my late posting this week… buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I think we all know that the truth is I’m an awful Goblin creature and got distracted by pretty rocks and shiny beetles. 

Don’t judge me! 

ANYWAY. 

Not much house keeping this week. The Blogstagram broke 20 followers which I am JAZZED about. If any of you are here, HI! Thanks so much for following me and checking out my ramblings. Also, sorry for what you find here. No refunds. 

NOW to the gooey awesomeness of the week! Yes, you read the title right. By weirdly popular demand, from several people, but most of all my Father (Hello Father) I am glad to announce that this week’s All Spoilers Movie Review is…. The Core. 

[Wait for applause]

Let me first take a moment to say that this movie falls under a very specific category of movies that are truly special: It is either the best worst movie you’ve ever seen, or the worst best movie you’ve ever seen. Nothing in between. If you haven’t seen The Core, maybe go do that. I’ll wait…

Did they go? Are they watching it? I’m totally not waiting, let’s talk about this masterpiece!

The Core is the 2003 directed by John Amiel and written by Cooper Lane and John Rogers.

I’m watching you two… 

It stars Aaron Eckhart as Dr Josh Keyes, Hillary Swank as Major Rebecca “Beck” Childs, Delroy Lindo as Dr. Brazzelton, Bruce Greenwood as Commander Iverson, Tcheky Karyo as Serge, and the one… the only… Stanley Tucci as Dr Conrad Zimsky. Somehow Stanley Tucci didn’t make it into the ‘top billed cast’ on IMDB and I am offended. Someone fix this. 

The Core is also starring: Fictional metals, absolutely buckwild science, Aaron Eckhart’s butt chin, and smoking cigarettes at the center of the earth. 

I’m PUMPED, let’s do this shit!

The movie opens with a shot of the Earth and for some reason my closed captionings were on and I was VERY confused, which I wrestled with for ten minutes before fixing. Thanks, Amazon Prime. 

We have some business people saying business stuff about to go into a business meeting. They seem pretty confident in their suits and their fist bumps. Love that for them. But as soon as they walk into the boardroom Generic Business Man #1 collapses onto the glass table, suddenly dead. 

Note: I did NOT laugh when they did the below-the-glass-table shot of his face smushing into the glass in an absolutely unrealistic way. I didn’t. Don’t look at me like that. 

      le smoosh

Suddenly, we are elsewhere and Dr Josh Keyes is teaching/tormenting his university class, talking about soundwaves and then playing the best trumpet solo any of them have ever heard at a piece of rock to prove a point while the half-empty room is barely paying attention. 

Dudes in suits appear and flash some badges, saying that Josh needs to go with them. As they walk out, Josh asks them where they’re going and why they dragged him out of his class. FBI Guy tells him that they don’t know, because, get this: Josh’s clearance is higher than theirs. Not only that… he also has a jet waiting nearby.

Lowkey waiting for the day some random folks show up and tell me I have some top secret government clearance and a jet, so I can immediately go find the fun warehouses and all the evidence of aliens, Bigfoot, and Mothman that I KNOW THEY’RE HIDING FROM ME. 

Next we see something that any Canadian will be all to familiar with: a Frenchman kicking a vending machine. This is Serge, he and Josh are buds. You can tell because Josh knows his name and, by the tone of Josh’s voice, Serge getting mad at mechanical objects and kicking them is nothing new. This sounds like a man you want around expensive technology in a crisis, right. RIGHT? Nah, don’t worry, he literally never shows this kind of behavior again in the movie. 

Serge casually drops the line that he is married to his work, which makes his wife his mistress, and that explains why he still loves his wife after all this time. HAHAHAHAHA. 

Good to know that the only reason you still love your wife is because you neglect her for your work. Do better, Serge. 

Josh and Serge are talking and walking as the FBI dudes lead them into a room full of tables with sheets hiding suspiciously body-shaped lumpy things, but they don’t notice until Josh leans against a table and someone’s arm falls out from under the sheet. They are startled, but somehow no one is screaming? It’s a lot of bodies, Fam. A Lot. 

Government man asks them how this many people could suddenly just drop dead all at the same time and Josh puts together that, given their two fields, Josh being a geophysicist and Serge being a Nuclear Weapons Specialist, that everyone in the room dropped dead because they had pacemakers that all stopped working. I don’t get it. No one gets it. Hey Josh, can you please explain that more-oop, nope, no he can’t.

Because after all that, Government Man is like “Sweet, so it isn’t a weapon!” and that they can go… home? Nevermind the hundreds of randomly dead folks? We’re not talking about that, either? Okay! Moving on!

Now we’re in London and Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds is unfolding in Trafalgar Square. One kid is ignoring all the trash doves that are alive to point out the one that is dead on the ground. Just as his dad is about to explain how everything on Earth is doomed to take that dirt nap with the sweet baby Jesus, effing birds start swarming and crashing into everything. 

We got birds crashing into buildings, into cars, into people, into statues, I think one tries to hijack a bus, some of the birds that crash into things are fish for some reason- 

Note: I looked it up and there are, in fact, fish crashing into things. This was apparently a gag the SFX team left in. I need more of these antics in movies. 

There is lots of screaming and running, which is to say, this one scene has more human emotion than all of British history to this point. Pip Pip. 

Turns out that the birds weren’t attacking people, (sorry Hitchcock) their internal navigation got messed up somehow; and since we all know birds aren’t real and what we know as birds are actually government drones, they therefore are not alive and have no functioning brain or eyes, so they crashed into everything. According to the news this has also been happening in Japan and Australia, ironically ignoring the swarms of magpies that steal hundreds of Australian children every year. Ok, I made up the last part. Magpies steal thousands of Australian children every year, and several small adults. 

I don’t know how birds work. 

We’re back in wherever the hell Josh is and after listening to this broadcast he has a theory. He tells his TAs to look up weird phenomena happening to migratory animals over the recent years. Acker, one of these TAs tells him that it’s a huge amount of info to look up, and Josh straight up calls him out, telling him that if he can scour the internet for “Sailor Moon crap” then this search should be a piece of cake. And I need to know more about this weird side of Acker.

But we don’t get to learn what freaky Sailor Moon stuff Acker the TA is into, instead he tells his other assistant, Danni, to round up all the smart and smelly computer kids, telling them he will sign their doctorates “blindfolded” if they do what he’s asking. Doesn’t seem problematic to me at all, but we don’t have time to think about that because…

SUDDENLY SPACE. 

That’s right, we’re putting in our steps with this movie.  

Beck and Iverson are just about to bring their space shuttle back to Earth and Iverson decides to tell Beck, in what might be the ickiest way possible, that she isn’t good enough to do it. According to him, she should be satisfied being the youngest person ever in space, and I was surprised he didn’t slap her ass and call her ‘doll’ in this scene. 

That’s right, reach for the stars Beck, just don’t reach over any condescending man’s head while you do. Ugh.

While he talks down to her, he also calls her annoying, which is nice and professional. I got the sense that this was supposed to be some father/daughter type dynamic, which checks out because my dad calls me annoying all the time. 

Then they have a problem, and you know it’s bad because the flight director at NASA stands up dramatically. They’re off course and about to crash into downtown LA. But it’s cool, because Beck’s youngest-person-in-space-brain has the power of math and a paper map on her side! It takes her two, yes TWO attempts to tell Iverson that she has a plan before he acknowledges her. Ahhhh, women in space and their nagging. 

But hey, look at that! Because of her lady brain they manage to land the space shuttle in a totally realistic way don’t worry about it and nary a one of them lowered the visors on their helmets during the entire re-entry! I call that a win. 

Next we are blessed with the arrival of Stanley Tucci as Dr Zimsky, looking fine as hell with that hair and the turtleneck. Go off, Zimsky! He takes a look at Josh’s doomsday calculations and tells him that there is no way he can be right. Josh leaves, understandably frustrated, because, just like all of us, he also has a crush on Zimsky and feels shot down. 

Note: He doesn’t actually have a crush on Zimsky, which is bullshit because how could you NOT?

look at him.

But just as he leaves Zimsky and his turtleneck go to a filing cabinet and take out some TOP SECRET FILES. Zimsky, you sly dog, you. 

Stanley, when you read this, call me.

Now we’re somewhere else with Beck and some stuffy General, who tells her that because her crew landed a shuttle in a less than desirable way instead of crashing it into the downtown core of LA and killing hundreds, her career is over. Uhhhh… is that how NASA and stuff works? 

But General StickStuckUpHisAss gets a call and FAM! It’s our boyfriend Zimsky, calling to say they have a problem. 

Ominous, I like it. 

Cut back to Josh and Serge being drunk as hell and ranting about the end of the world. Thankfully, the feds show up again to whisk him away. 

Now, hear me out. Serge and Josh seem REALLY drunk. I paused the movie here and by what is currently on the table in this scene, it looks like they’ve drunk 6 beers and at LEAST 7 shots, with one of the shot glasses still in Josh’s hand. That isn’t counting anything that has been taken away already, or other shot glasses that are being blocked by objects. I bring this up because…

Josh got spirited away to Top Secret Government land and is suddenly entirely sober. He’s there because Zimsky told his people that Josh “helped” him with his work. Classy, Zimsky, it’s a good thing the Daddy vibes you’re serving here are strong or we’d have beef. But since Zimsky IS serving up that Daddy energy, we will forgive him. I will be taking no questions at this time. 

put that cigarette out on me-

Note to my Father: I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. 

Another note to my Father: You asked for this, so it’s technically your fault. 

Another, another note to my Father: I’ve left a gallon of bleach on your doorstep so you can bleach your brain after reading this.

Josh gives a grade 7 science lesson on how the planet works to a round table full of PhDs and high level military folks, and decides to torch a peach with a lighter and air freshener because he can; just in case the government folks, and us as the viewers forgot that the planet we live on is a delicious stone fruit that can be set on fire despite its moisture content. We love pageantry here. 

Peech.

LONG STORY LONG: The core of the planet has stopped spinning and because of that, the electromagnetic fields are fading and the world is going to die in a flaming ball of burning peachy goodness.

Nevermind that the planet is still spinning despite the core coming to a complete standstill, or the fact that every 200 or 300 thousand years the polarity of the planet changes anyway because of some planetary stuff. Also nevermind that the core suddenly stopped and everything that wasn’t bedrock wasn’t flung at 1000mph into whatever was around it. 

I don’t know how planets work. 

Point is: We gots three months, folks! 

Suddenly Utah! Wow, they are spending those Air Miles in this movie. 

Enter Dr Ed Brazzleton, or Braz, who takes one look at Zimsky and asks, “how the hell are you not dead yet?” and suddenly this movie feels like every family reunion I’ve ever been to. 

Apparently our perfect Zimsky and Braz have beef. 

But said beef is put aside like a water bottle at a frat party, because Braz has a laser rail gun of Taco Bell diarrhea proportions, that he shows off by drilling through the side of a big hill in a few seconds. Cool beans. 

Braz also has Alex the mouse who he puts in a metal box and then blasts said box with the laser from hell. Alex is ok, and that’s all we care about. 

Turns out the box is made from Unobtanoum, because Hardtofindtanium and Strongtanium were unavailable. 

FUN FACT: This movie is the first appearance of Unobtanium, suck it James Cameron. Avatar was boring. 

Anyway. 

Now we are in another official government meeting thing and Josh can’t tie a tie. He’s just like us, people. Just your average, Professor, geophysics genius with top secret government clearance. Iconic. 

Luckily, Beck knows how to tie it and she helps him. I can’t help but wonder how much better it would have been if Zimsky had stepped up to do the whole romantic side plot “here, let me get that for you” and then puffed cigarette smoke in Josh’s face the whole time. 

So they gotta build a ship big enough to reach the center of the planet. Zimsky and Serge need to figure out how many nukes they need to place around the core, in order to blow them up, and get the core moving again. They also need to build suits that can handle the head and the pressure, learn to navigate the ship via simulators, etc… all in three months. Luckily, this is a movie. 

Now we got Rat, played by DJ Qualls, who as I said in my Cherry Falls review, looks the exact same as he does in every other movie. They want him and his kung fu… I mean, elite hacker skills to HACK THE PLANET keep all rumors of what they’re doing off the internet to avoid mass panic.

Yes, Rat. Yes, they do. 

In return all he wants is Hot Pockets and Xena the Warrior Princess on DVD. Seems reasonable to me. 

Cut to Josh messing with his navigation system and it’s good but not great. Beck shows up and starts pushing buttons even though he asks her not to and she has no idea what anything does, and she makes it better. See where this is going? 

Then Iverson tells Beck that she isn’t ready to pilot this ship either because she’s “too good” and hasn’t made any mistakes yet. Ugh, men. 

Suddenly, Rome. The Collassium explodes because of static electricity. Lightning is chasing people through the streets, like it does, and statues are exploding into chunks of rock. Rome is on fire and no one, I mean NO ONE makes a joke about naming the lightning storm Nero. 

I’m available to write for your next movie, John Amiel. There will be no more missed opportunities like this on my watch.

Because Rome is on fire, the government men decide that the ship, named Virgil, has to launch now. 

For reference: Virgil is a poet from ancient Rome and is also the dude who escorted Daunte through hell in Daunte’s Inferno, AKA the Divine Comedy. 

Clever.

They load into Virgil and Zimsky is recording himself while everyone is doing their pre-launch checks, because he’s a legend with two book deals in the works for all of this. 

Virgil goes into the water and whales start singing to them because of what the ship is made out of or whatever. Tuck that nugget away for later. 

So they’re heading toward the Marianas Trench because the crust is thinner there, it isn’t, and there is an earthquake. They squeeze through the buttcrack of the earth, because that’s how tectonic plates work, it isn’t, and they do the drilly-drill until they reach the mantle. 

About halfway-ish there, Fam. 

Luckily nothing goes wrong. 

Oh wait, no, scratch that. Josh fucking forgot to code into his navigation system what empty space looks like and they immediately crash into a giant geode and free-fall into a metric fucktonne of crystals. The laser gets jammed up, so you know what that means! FIELD TRIP!

Luckily they have the suits designed to protect them from the heat and pressure. 

The plot armor thickens. Literally.

The laser they need to cut the crystal jammed into the Taco Bell laser is out of oxygen and Josh hooks up his oxygen tanks to the laser, conveniently forgetting that the air humans breathe is only around 21% oxygen and mostly nitrogen. But we are going to let that one slide because Josh is a hero, OKAY? Serge sees his friend’s oxygen levels are falling and goes to save his friend, getting Josh air and dragging him inside.

Iverson is also outside Virgil, probably about to make a condescending remark about Beck’s small woman brain and weak arms when a shard of crystal falls onto his head, through his helmet, and he dies instantly before falling into the lava and sinking. 

Ok. I need another minute here, Fam. 1. Lava is denser than people, so Iverson would have floated. 2. You’re telling me that these LITERAL suits of plot armor can protect them from thousands of degrees, withstand the pressure of being that far underground, and yet no one decided that it would be a good idea to plop a yellow hard hat on top of it? 

Anyway…

Josh wakes up shirtless, because there have been exactly zero nipples in the movie up to this point. Beck is there and is sad that her mentor/father-figure/tormentor is dead, but we feel nothing for Iverson so let’s move on. 

Beck is steering Virgil now and doing a badass job at it, but then the diamonds happen. Yes, giant diamonds the size of a mediocre white man’s ego are coming at them, just like our Lord and Savior Rhianna said they would…

I’m not going to look it up, I am just assuming her song about diamonds is about this movie.

Beck steers around the diamonds, because the one thing that can hurt Unobtanium is diamonds. 

“Rune, if that is the case, why didn’t they make the ship out of diamonds?” I hear ye ask. 

To which I respond, “because they didn’t hire me as the third writer for this flick.”

You’re telling me they can put a diamond coating on everything from a frying pan to a drill, but not on Virgil? Bullshit, I call. 

Braz, Josh, and Serge are prepping the first nuke to launch when Virgil gets hit by a giant diamond, forcing them to abandon the damaged compartment before it seals itself off. Serge goes back and saves the little computer things needed to actually blow up the nukes, and his notebook. However, in doing this he isn’t able to escape the compartment himself. But he saves the mission and dies. Eckhart and Lindo act the shit out of this scene and nail it, and it is genuinely sad. 

Can we get the window fish again to cheer us up? 

Bonk

Braz is beating himself up because he couldn’t get the door open again to save Serge, and Josh is pissed because he was yelling for Beck to override the system so he could save his friend. Because Iverson is a dickweed and drilled ‘making the hard call’ into her head as heroism, she prevented them from rescuing Serge and he died needlessly, in my opinion. 

Fuck you Iverson.

But hey, they made it to the core! 

They’re all thrilled, but then Virgil starts to pick up speed in a BIG way. They realize the core is less dense than they predicted, and because of that the nukes they have on board aren’t enough to get the core rotating again. 

That is when Zimsky tells them that their mission is a failure and they need to move to plan B, which is called DESTINI, or Deep Earth Seismic Trigger INItiative. Essentially, it is a weapon that was built by the government that could send targeted earthquakes places or something. Josh asks if something like that would even be powerful enough to touch the core but… uh oh…

It already has. 

Because DESTINI is what started all this in the first place. 

LE GASP!

Zimsky wants to go home, but everyone else votes against it, deciding to instead go with Plan C.

Yes, Plan C. Restart the core… somehow? 

Literally, that’s the plan. 

This movie is so realistic. 

Braz punches Zimsky and knocks him out, instantly making Braz a million times hotter and showing that nerds can be sexy if they just punch each other.

Rat notifies the feds that the radiation from the sun has found a hole in the ozone layer and a perfect circle of angry sun is moving across San Francisco.

Yes, a perfect beam of radiation that is boiling the ocean instantly, and is hot enough to melt the metal of the Golden Gate Bridge, but when it hits the arm of some dude in a car just gives him a bad sunburn. No tires melt or explode, the metal of cars doesn’t melt… but the bridge does. THE BRIDGE DOES. 

Also, why isn’t Car Sunburn Guy on Virgil right now? You’re telling me his bare arm gets hit by bridge destroying heat and radiation and he just gets a sunburn? Dude is fucking Superman. 

Rat sees all this and lets the Virgil crew know that DESTINI is bad news bears. Which is good, because Plan C is a thing, and all they need is for Rat to stall DESTINI while they do it. 

While Braz and Josh are trying to workshop how to make it happen, Zimsky gets an idea and agrees to tell them if he is allowed to smoke a single cigarette. Because of course this sassy man brought cigarettes to the center of the earth. Fucking. Legend. 

Zimsky rattles off the idea, some shit about rocks in a pond and blah blah. Point is, he’s gorgeous and perfect. 

Cut to Rat, who keeps hitting roadblocks in stalling DESTINI, and there are not enough Hot Pockets in existence to prevent him from shedding a few tears in frustration. 

Cut back to our squad. They have it figured out, but the plan hinges on being able to launch the nukes in the remaining compartments of Virgil… and they can’t do that. Because Braz didn’t design undamaged compartments to be ejected without an override. Said override switch is located, get this, outside the fucking ship in a vent that currently has molten earth goo flowing through it. 

So Braz takes one for the team, knowing he won’t come back. He exits Virgil in a suit designed to handle half of the 9000 degrees present in the core and somehow doesn’t immediately burst into flames and die. But it’s ok, because this is a movie and science is whatever we want it to be. Braz makes it to the override switch and turns it before collapsing. Beck is hesitating to press the button that will kill him because of Iverson’s bad advice, and the whole Serge thing. But Josh is there and he presses the button with her, so they can both share the responsibility. 

How romantic.

Now we have Zimsky and Josh moving the nukes and ejecting the pods. Teamwork makes the dreamwork, folks. 

Then we see Rat, who manages to get into the DESTINI program and re-routes all the power from it to Coney Island, delaying it. 

Cut back to Zimsky and Josh who are talking math science stuff and they realize that their calculation was off, and the last nuke won’t be powerful enough. While they rush to figure out how to make the last bomb 30% more powerful, Virgil gets hit by an… energy flare… because that’s something that happens inside of the center of the Earth???… and Josh gets pinned between the nuke and the wall. When Beck compensates though, the Nuke falls off Josh and rolls over Zimsky’s leg, crushing it. Josh is forced to leave Zimsky behind, which I know is poetic because technically this whole thing is kinda Zimsky’s fault, but I’m still going to be salty about it. 

RIP to Zimsky and his good boy sweater.

Just before the feed between the compartments is cut, Zimsky is able to tell Josh that he can make the last bomb bigger by using the plutonium rods from Virgil’s reactor. 

So Josh does that. He gets the plutonium reactor core and drags it to the last bomb. A screen shows that the reactor is at 2000 degrees, and yet his hands get burned moving it in a suit that can protect him up to around 4500 degrees… either something is off or the quality control on these suits is atrocious, considering Braz survived a few minutes in 9000 degree heat in one of those suits…

Josh and Beck acknowledge that without the reactor they won’t be able to make it back. So they resign themselves to their fate and take the professional route of not having freaky sex in the center of the earth.

Beck, you could have been the youngest person in space AND the first woman to bone in the center of the earth. 

But hey, Josh realizes that since the material the ship is made of turns heat into energy it’s basically “like a giant solar panel” which is incorrect, but at this point it’s the least of the scientific sins this movie has committed. 

While Josh is hooking the ship up to the engine with minutes to spare, we start seeing the nukes going off around the core. We catch one last, beautiful glimpse of Zimsky, smoking to his hearts content because of course he had his cigarettes on him and recording his final moments before he aptly looks at the voice recorder and says “What the fuck am I doing?” and is laughing at his own hubris as the nuke goes off. Legend. 

But hey, their plan works and the core is restarted! Yay!

Beck kisses Josh with all the believability that the science behind this movie has. Then they ride the shockwave from the nuke out of the core and get the hell out of hell. Also hey, they’re going so fast they’ll make it out in a third of the time. 

The whole earth is having earthquakes now because it’s ‘healing itself’ and violent weather systems, the atmosphere, and magnetic fields are suddenly fixed because that’s how nature works. 

They make it back to the ocean and suddenly the ship has no power because it needs heat and the bottom of the ocean be cold. SO they settle at the bottom of the ocean and realize that they’re going to die. Again. 

NAY NAY, say the whales, who start singing to them again and they use that to their advantage. Remember the whales? Yeah, it’s all coming full circle! 

Nevermind that the whales are orcas. YAY FULL CIRCLE!

The government ship finds them and somehow gets attached to the front of Virgil. They are hauled up from the bottom at mach Jesus because decompression sickness is a myth apparently, and the whole time Beck and Josh are lamenting over the fact that no one will know about the people who died to restart the core, because the whole thing was one giant secret.

Finally, we cut to Rat in an internet cafe with a Hot Pocket and top secret government documents. He is uploading the information about what happened, DESTINI and the people who died to save the world to the internet. But no one will ever know it was him who leaked it because of his genius disguise. 

The movie closes with a shot of the Earth spinning in the wrong direction. 

WHEW! What a ride. 

I know this movie is bad, but it’s also good! 

Don’t believe me? Roger Ebert has this to say about the film:

“I have such an unreasonable affection for this movie, indeed, that it is only by slapping myself alongside the head and drinking black coffee that I can restrain myself from recommending it. It is only a notch down from “Congo,” and “Anaconda,” “Laura Croft, Tomb Raider” and other films which those with too little taste think they have too much taste to enjoy.”

DAMN Ebert. But he’s right. This movie is fun. It doesn’t try to explain away the impossible with fancy science, it just goes entirely off the rails and decides that science is whatever they need it to be to make the plot work. That kind of power move when making a film needs to be respected, because this film knows it’s ridiculous, and we love it for that very reason. 

This movie is also special to me personally, because it’s one of those best/worst movies that my Dad and I will drop anything to watch. No matter what, if The Core is on, we’re watching The Core. And that sentiment isn’t restricted to us. 

Several people I’ve spoken to have noted that whenever they see this movie on, their first reaction is to exclaim, “HEY THE CORE IS ON!” and if that doesn’t tell you how well a so-bad-it’s-good-movie can bring people together, I don’t know what can. 

So, what is my rating? 

For acting, I give this movie 8 out of 10. The movie may be cheese, but these are good actors, and it really helped this film to have such a great cast. You can see it especially in the scene where Serge dies, the pain comes through, especially from Braz. 

In terms of realism, 3 out of 10. This science is whack and they know it, but we respect that kind of power move here. There is no exposition wasting time trying to explain the impossible with good science. Nay nay, they take the impossible and support it with impossible science and absolute bullshit, and they know we know they’re doing it! 

Story and writing gets a 7 out of 10 because, despite everything utterly bad about it, this is a fun movie to watch. The script has sad parts and genuinely funny parts, and if a movie isn’t engaging like that, no one would watch it.

Alex the Mouse gets a 10 out of 10 for being adorable. 

Overall, I give The Core 8 flaming peaches on forks out of 10. 

Go watch it and enjoy all that The Core is. You’re welcome.
