Project Destiny is a top-secret project that was designed as a weapon by the US government to use earthquakes and seismic activity as a way to kill their opposition so that no one would know it was them. It seemed like a foolproof weapon that no one could trace back to them but there is one problem and that is the side effect it has caused on the planet. Project Destiny and its usage has stopped the core of the earth from spinning. The spinning core and the electromagnetic pulse it creates is what protects us against the Sun’s ultraviolent radiation and cosmic waves, without it the Earth will be cooked by microwaves and all life on the planet will cease to exist. This is the forecast for the planet and there is only one year before it is over and only three months tell it starts in full. So the top government officials pool together to come up with a plan to save the planet and all the life on it. The problem is to restart the core they need to be able to drill to the center of the Earth and use nuclear weapons to hump start it. To this they turn to a scientist that has devised a ship that can do that very thing but the problem is that its not finished. So the government scrambles together to get it ready to deploy and to also to hide the information of the Earth’s impeding doom from the masses. So a group of motley scientists and NASA pilots are the Earth’s last hope as they must take on the quest of a lifetime where anything that can go wrong probably will.

I came in expecting an Armageddon rip-off and that’s exactly what I got except for one problem this movie is a cheap rip-off and nowhere in the class of Armageddon. The entire plot line of how they are going to save the Earth is far fetched that you can’t but shake you head in disgust, as miraculously they are able to drill to the core of the Earth almost 3000 miles down when they never had been able to go farther then 7 miles before. Or that this new miraculous metal that not only can take the pressure but gets stronger the higher the pressure is. Or that you come in knowing most of the crew is going to die and that they don’t even seem to be able to make you care for the characters before they off them. At least with Armageddon while knowing at least some of the characters were going to die you actually cared when they did because the movie set them up nicely. Most of the characters in this movie are one dimensional and even petty and small rather than the misfit heroes they are suppose to be. Also the movie spent the first hour trying to set up some type of tense set up for what they already let you know was going to happen in every single trailer they released. If the set up was going to work as well as the lame surprises that they throw at you they should have at least hid this info from you in the trailers. This is your formula movie that was done badly and just seemed to not care. Formula movies can work Armageddon is proof of that but not if the actors and director doesn’t care to try and make them work. Wait for the video.
