Very engrossing. Yes. I get so caught up in the disasters and the lack of humanity that I don't think about whether or not any of it is fesible (or, at least, I know it isn't but really don't care). I think it's a good example, though, of how to push a plot forward. There were no uncomfortable jumps to future events, and no lagging. It all flowed nicely. And even though it was obvious who would die, I still ejoyed the sequence of events.<br /><br />What I most compaired this movie to this time around was the reference to the Titanic in the end (at least to me it was a similar occurance) where the people had more than enough room on their 'boats', but didn't want to let the stragglers on. And even though they did pick up some of the people, some died in the process.Kathryn Packer Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16506942804607936833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-79160662266942808382011-03-03T15:23:09.913-05:002011-03-03T15:23:09.913-05:00Too true, Bittersweet.

Whenever people bring up 2012, she throws a fit. It's actually really amusing.<br /><br />As an engineer, I postulate that most Science Fiction movies are pseudoscience, but that doesn't mean I don't love them. Where would this world be without movies like the Core?Mandy P.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02453249544598951624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-31515613546071428422011-03-03T08:37:02.373-05:002011-03-03T08:37:02.373-05:00Very funny!

I read Holy Blood Holy Grail, which the mystery behind The Davinci Code was based on, and it was really cool, even if it turned out to be a hoax.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.com
