    The Core

    The ship was made from a fantasy metal which passivly converted heat into electricity and which pressure caused to become stronger.

    And it used "Ultrasonic Lasers" to swim through rock by liquifying it just before impact. Sound cannot be lased as light can, and even if it were possible an ultrasonic 'beam' would have to be tuned differently to effect different materials. It would not be effective against the myriad materials encountered in the earth's inner layers.

    And even if all that were to somehow work, using several small nuclear detonations inside the earth's core to restart its spin is inane sci-babble. It would take a much much larger amount of energy to affect a superheated high-pressure liquid-iron environment such as described at in the movie.

    • I honestly think the reasons behind both movies is to give us a reason to have a proliferation of nuclear weaponry. We can tell ourselves, "Hey, we need a million weapons in case we have to re-start the earth's core or blast an asteroid in two."
