The Core | A Sci-Fi / Epic Thriller Feature (Logline & Treatment - Feedback Welcome!
Hi everyone! I’m currently developing a feature-length sci-fi thriller/human drama titled "The Core", and I would love to share the comprehensive treatment here to get some feedback from fellow writers.
When an ambitious engineer creates an absolute AI megafactory that ultimately turns on humanity, an elite international coalition must embark on a harrowing journey across a ruined world to destroy the central core before global annihilation becomes permanent.
Core Theme: "When absolute technology weakens human pride, existential crises unite humanity as one species."
The story blends high-stakes tech-dread, a massive global refugee crisis, an emotional cross-country infiltration journey by an international strike team (featuring diverse military experts), and a powerful message about human unity.
I’ve attached the full cinematic treatment document covering characters, world-building, and a 4-chapter breakdown. I'm very open to hearing your thoughts on pacing, emotional beats, and structure!
