Goofs
When Virgil is falling through the water it is clearly traveling at high speed, yet the digital depth gauge is counting feet at about 4 per second (490, 491, 492, 493, 494, etc) which is less than 3 mph.

Q
What is 'The Core' about?
A
When the Earth's molten core loses its spin, the result of which will mean disaster to the planet, six scientists -- geophysicist Professor Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), weapons expert Dr Serge Leveque (Tchéky Karyo), researcher Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci), NASA astronauts Commander Robert Iverson (Bruce Greenwood) and Major Rebecca 'Beck' Childs (Hilary Swank), and rogue scientist Ed 'Braz' Brazzelton (Delroy Lindo), who has designed a vessel, affectionately named Virgil, that can withstand intense heat and pressure -- travel to the center of the Earth through the Mariana Trench and attempt to get the core spinning again by setting off a series of nuclear explosions.
