July 20, 2002 — From TNMC:
However, the screenplay quickly goes from unique and drawing to cliche and over the top, especially towards the end It just became too much and reminded me an awful lot of Armageddon. You have a Russian, a crazy guy (Brazzleton), and a crew on a ship trying to use nuclear weapons to save the Earth. It's the same thing but instead of taking place in space, it takes place underground! Also, towards the end, the last "twelve hours" taken to get to the core go by in like 5 minutes while the training missions seemed to take forever. Granted, this is how Rogers let's us know for what he has planned, but the ending just seemed rushed and sloppy. There is a very good script in here and there is no doubt in my mind that it is entertaining (I couldn't put it down). However, there are some much needed touch ups to rid itself of the cliche moments...Overall, entertaining. Good, but far from great. I hope the talent involved can pull this project together and make it everything that Armageddon wasn't.
