History YMMV / TheCore

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: 30 Seconds To Mars's "Echelon".Also, Christopher Young's score. (No, not ''[[Music/ChrisYoung that one]]'').

* HilariousInHindsight: The movie ends with Rat deliberately releasing all the details of Project Destiny online - think this is where Edward Snowden got the idea?

* FreudWasRight: Take a closer look at that poster. And tagline.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The CGI at times is quite impressive, but more often than not looks like they came straight off a SyFy Channel B-movie.

* TheyJustDidntCare: In an interview with Creator/HilarySwank she actually said "Since ''no one knows'' what the center of the Earth ''really'' looks like, we can make up all sorts of stuff." At least the writer managed to reject the ExecutiveMeddling calling for dinosaurs BeneathTheEarth.

* {{Narm}} : Rat: " It's the whales! They're singing ! "

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Stanley Tucci steals the movie and swallows it whole for breakfast.

* AwesomeMusic: The only good thing about ''The Core'' is that its theme song is 30 Seconds To Mars's "Echelon".

* SoBadItsGood: As RogerEbert puts it: ''"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."''

* CriticalResearchFailure

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Near the end, Zimsky is, once again, waxing philosophic into his recorder. Suddenly, he stops and realizes [[spoiler: that he's locked alone inside on the the Virgil's ejected sections, he's submerged in the molten core of the Earth, and he's next to a nuclear bomb that's seconds away from detonation]]. He lowers the recorder and says, "What the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] am I doing?" [[spoiler: He literally dies laughing moments later.]]

* NightmareFuel: the scene where they show the cabinet members exactly how the planet is going to get cooked by cosmic rays. Yikes.
