Descent
When cracks in the Earth's crust large enough to swallow a city block appear, a team of scientists must go deep into the Earth to find a way to stop the destruction.
Critics Sentiment
Team member makes heroic sacrifice to complete mission
Team prepares the Mole drilling vehicle for descent
Sharp decline from the opening disaster sequences to the introduction of the poorly designed Mole vehicle
Descent follows a predictable downward trajectory from its opening disaster sequences, which reviewers found entertaining despite scientific implausibility, to its tedious underground journey plagued by poor special effects and wooden acting. The film briefly recovers during its climactic mission sequences but never escapes its reputation as a generic, low-budget TV movie that shamelessly borrows from better films like The Core.
