Have you watch the movie the core?

what is mysterious with it?
is it a burning furnace ?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
burning? For sure not the core, as NiFe is at the end of the fusion chain.

I saw the film. Usual stuff. A lot of unacknoledged borrows from SF books. Unaccutate physics, but at the expected level. The first scene, where they both speak of changes in wavelength and frequency of sound, was the only one troubling me.

I absolutely refuse to pay money to see that movie. I'll acquire a copy through "other means" and watch it for a laugh one night when I'm drunk.
