A blurb about this movie came out in Astronomy magazine 4 or so months ago and ever since then my girlfriend and I have been chomping at the bit to see it. Now I should warn you, this movie is not for you Woody Allen types. If you would rather watch a good historical documentary than Star Trek, this movie is not for you. If you have no ability to sit in for 2 hours with complete suspension of disbelief, then this movie is not for you.

Otherwise, I loved it. The cast was what I would call almost-star studded. Other than Hilary Swank, I couldnt name any of them, but they are all guys you would immediately recognize from other roles. The acting was as good as it could be in a movie like this as was the plot. But the action scenes were decent and overall I would go see this movie again, but again its probably only for sci-fi buffs. Would be interested to get others views on this movie.

I like Woody Allen movies, but I'm a sucker for these sci-fi's too if they're well done (which Armageddon wasn't, IMO).

I didn't see it, but the black guy is Del Ray Lindo, notably from "Get Shorty" and "Heist". In the right roles, he's excellent.

I'll see "the core" on DVD, I'm sure.

Just saw it this weekend. Ace is on. A bit sleepy at times, but some interesting x effects throw in to keep ya tuned in. I would give it a B+, for mind numbing entertainment.

I don't see what people see in Hillary Swank. If you saw her in a bar and she wasn't famous, you wouldn't look twice.:shrug:
