First Incredible Petrified World (See my review), and now Unknown World. It's safe to say that after watching both of these flicks, not a whole lot happens under the earth's crust. After about 6 or 7 tries and a couple chapter skips I was finally able to make it through this movie. There are a few scientists who are members of the Society To Save Mankind (or something similar) that invent a machine to go 1,000 miles into the earths interior to escape the inevitable doomsday brought on by nuclear weapons.
First off there is a corkscrew on the front of this machine, one would assume for boring into the earth, however, the corkscrew is about 1/8 the size of the rest of the vehicle behind it, so other than making neat little holes here and there, I dunno what good it would do someone trying to bore through the earth. As luck would have it, there is pretty much a 1,000 mile flat road from the surface of the earth down. Seems it's inside an inactive volcano. (Why these folks didn't just take a pickup truck instead of a vehicle that goes like 3 miles an hour, I dunno) So the scientists and a young chiseled chinned rich boy who funded the mission for his own kicks, start their slow decent.
The majority of the movie shows the vehicle driving on a downward slope at an extremely slow rate. Kinda like the movie. Every now and again something very exciting happens, like the group gets thirsty and don't have water and has to find some. Other exciting bits include climbing down a rock. I don't want to give away the ending, but the CORE looks a lot like the surface, except you can't procreate down there for some reason, so every decides to head back up. I think the moral was the grass isn't always greener? Or maybe it's that doesn't matter what we do now that we have nuclear weapons we're all screwed.
I would recommend this movie if you are suffering from insomnia. It put me to sleep within 10 minutes more than once and is prefect for those nights when you just can't seem to get any sleep. Zzzzzz
