Story Synopsis:
A geophysicist, Dr. Josh Keyes (Eckhart), discovers that an unknown force has caused The Core of the Earth to stop rotating. With the planet’s magnetic field rapidly deteriorating, the atmosphere literally starts to deteriorate, threatening catastrophic consequences. To resolve the crisis, Keyes and a team of scientists, travel into the Earth’s core in a subterranean craft piloted by Major Rebecca “Beck” Childs (Swank) and Colonel Robert Iverson (Greenwood) as “terranauts” who are sent on a mission to detonate a nuclear device that will reactivate the core and save the planet. Another far-fetched movie about an unlikely group of people who save the world from total annihilation...but will thrill fans of explosive sci-fi/action movies. (Suzanne Hodges)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that can be sharp and nicely detailed, which at times can reveal fine textures and definition. However, some minor smearing is noticed. Colors are rich and well balanced with natural fleshtones, fully saturated hues, and deep blacks. Edge enhancement can be a nuisance with this title, especially in scenes with higher contrast. The breakup of finer details due to pixelization is noticed at times, and there are a couple of shimmering moire patterns noticed. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
This Dolby® Digital 5.1 soundtrack excels on several fronts, chief amongst them is the fact that the recording quality is just outstanding. There’s a pristine, smooth tonal presence that translates very nicely to home theatre movie listening on high-performance sound systems. The soundstage design is superlative, with both acute and ambient sound effects working equally effectively in drawing you into the storytelling. The music score sounds wonderful, with an expansive presence across the screen and ample surround envelopment. Atmospheric effects serve to convincingly engross the listener. Another standout aspect of this sound mix is the dialogue, for which voices sound particularly natural in tonality and spatial integration. But of course, it’s the dynamic, sometimes intense moments that really distinguish this soundtrack. The low-end, in particular, gets downright powerful at times, fully loading the LFE and main channels with high-energy low frequencies to the point of perhaps even challenging your system. The soundfield is fully engaged with aggressive split surrounds, and if you elect to use back surround processing, the result should be beneficial. This is a great soundtrack that serves extremely well as part of the storytelling and also on its own as a sheer sonic spectacle. (Perry Sun)
