Apparently, when the earth’s core stops spinning (huh?), you can just start it up by a big pile of nuclear weapons on the core (huh??) and then outrun the shockwave in a big drill (WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?) Plus they showed San Francisco being destroyed by bad CGI. Like bad CGI could make a dent in this town! This looks to make Armegeddon look like Casablanca! Anyone else’s brains spatter the theater when you saw this?

Awe man! And here I was hoping the mid-90s spate of ‘black holes are eating the earth from the inside out’ books were finally being made into a movie.

Dang.

**Tars** , old buddy, you just splattered Thark brains on me. And I think it’s contagious.

I _really_ shouldn’t have opened this thread. Any ideas which movies this is playing in front of, so I can avoid them?

It’ll make “Reign of Fire” look like “The Importance of Being Earnest.”
