What Parents Need to Know
About The Core
Parents need to know that this movie has sustained and intense peril. There's widespread destruction, and many characters are killed. There's some strong language, including the obligatory single use of "f--k" permitted in PG-13 movies. There are female and African-American characters who are exceptionally talented but who have had to face obstacles to their professional advancement. Diverse characters work together well.

This was a little unsettling
This movie makes you think and it scares me when I think about it. I like movies like this, such as The Day After Tomorrow. There is a few disturbing death situations but I guess it was "clean" enough to show in my Earth and Space science class.
