First and foremost, the technical details: The movie isn't impresisve on any level. The acting isn't amazing, the script is pretty lame, and things like this.
Going further, The Core is an EXTERMELY cliched movie. The world is in peril, so the US government (always the USA saving the world, eh?) has to put together a team to save the world from utter destruction. Of course, to keep the audience interested, the film-makers throw in a few shots of world landmarks being destroyed, a favourite of disaster movies (see Independence Day, Armageddon, Deep Impact, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow and others for movies who suffer from the same ridiculous audience-appleasing elements). Of course, another way to keep the audience interested is to have a bunch of special effects shots that use lots of CGI to make things look impressive.
All in all, The Core is just another blockbuster (although it flopped at the box office) disaster "small group of people from different backgrounds get together to save the world" movie. It's long, boring, unentertaining, forgettable, horribly predictable, full of cliches, tacky, ridiculous and completely preposterous. How these dumb Hollywood Summer cheese movies still manage to entertain people is beyond me.
I'm sorry if I'm a bit overly critical about it, this is just how I feel about The Core, and all the movies like it for that matter.
