It's funny how some of the same people who kick the shit out of a film like The Core, will not do the same to films like the original Star Wars, Jurassic Park, or any Godzilla or Gamera movie.
People seem to forget that all these films are wholly based on suspension of disbelief.
Have to add that Knowing breaks one of my cardinal suspension of disbelief rules - paramedics using the electric paddles to try and start a woman's heart, and she's still wearing her bra! It bothers me every time. With good direction and editing, no-one need ever see the actresses breasts, if that's the concern.
Suspension of disbelief only works when you don't start to mess with real-world rules, beyond where needed for the core premise to work.
Oh, and why do some of the rocks float when the ship takes off, but not all of them? Aargh!
