Armageddon - Armageddon Reviews
That is an great movie,ever.Some of the parts in it are funny.I should know,i have it.I like some parts in the movie when Rockhound said "Come on, we're staying, we're going, we're staying, we're going, make your mind".

A visually stunning piece of crap. - Armageddon Reviews
Michael Bay, Mr. Bay. You are a sad, sad man. Oh No the world won't be blown to pieces, No duh! This is one of thousands of film were the world is threatend by a big astroid. Oh, and if you want to make yourself a 'diferent' director, you should have allowed the world to blow up, which would have been a shocker. It was stunning, but poorly acted, long, and repetetive. The only thing that made the movie 'Fair' was the amazing visuals and great soundtrak. Its direction made it snappy, but not quick and fun. I don't recomend it.
Save us all, bruce willis! - Armageddon Reviews
This movie is a little overhyped, but it's still pretty good. The concept alone is great, and although there have been numerous films about asteroids threatening to end life as we know it, this one at least has good special effects and some likeable characters.
Untrue - Armageddon Reviews
i can't believe that a group of oil diggers are gonna save the world from a big big problem!even when the director tried to make it romantic and emotional he failed only the visual effects that make it a mediocre movie.

How many times can you scream, "lets go!"? - Armageddon Reviews
Every single scene it seems. Fine actors like Steve and Billy Bob seem to be the only performers on target, despite the feeling one gets that the two were in need of pay day. Bruce is a bit stiff in his usual hero role. Good special effects and one unintentionally hilarious sequence after another makes this a fun bad film. NASA comes up with a plan to save the earth in less than a week. When was the last time any government agency worked that fast on a problem that big???
Perfect - Armageddon Reviews
the perfect mix between action, comedy, and drama. I cant say it anymore clearer then that. This is by far one of the best movies i have ever seen. wait forget that this is the best movie i have ever seen.
Outstanding! - Armageddon Reviews
This is a movie I most definitely had to own. I watch it over again every few months. Most recent movies don't have much of an impact on me, either the plot is too wacked or you find yourself asking; "what is the plot?" but this movie was truly outstanding.

Flip side of 'return of the king'. - Armageddon Reviews
I cannot begin to explain in words how much I hated this movie. It's been a while since I watched it all the way through, but to tell you the truth, I've avoided seeing it all the way through again. Avoided like the plague. But I have seen bits and peices of it since then. One thing I noticed is that the director, Michael Bay, hasn't got the faintest idea where to point the g#!damn camera. When you're focusing on somebody who's speaking, you don't cut half of their damn face off!!! Another thing... The story is absolutely ridiculous. They land a spaceship on an astroid that's moving towards the earth some thousands of miles an hour. Yeah, right. My suspension of disbelief is pretty high, but the things that happen in this movie are SO ridiculous, that it just went completely over that line like it wasn't there at all. There are things that happen in this movie that God himself could not make so. I remember that they have some sort of vehicle in the movie, and they're driving it, and something goes wrong with something mounted on the outside of the vehicle. One of the astronauts goes out to fix it. I forget what happens, but for whatever reason the driver keeps going with the other astronaut hanging on outside fixing this thing. Then they come to this chasm in the asteroid that's some miles wide... AND THEY DECIDE TO JUMP IT!!! WITH THE GUY OUTSIDE STILL REPAIRING THIS THING THAT BROKE!!! Oh, and did I forget to mention that while they're jumping this chasm, the vehicle is FREAKING SPINNING!!! And the funniest part? THAY MAKE THE F!@#ING JUMP!!! IN FACT, THAT'S NOT FUNNY, THAT'S JUST F!@#ING STUPID!!! And the movie is FILLED with stupid, s!@#$y sequences like that... I pretty much hate it forever... This movie definetly, DEFINETLY got it's well earned place at the top my 'Least favorite movie' list. 'Armageddon' is complete and total crap from start to finish. I cannot remember a single redeeming quality about it. Hating 'Armageddon' will make you a healthier person.
Worst movie ever - Armageddon Reviews
This Movie just Sucked. It dont know how anyone can like this movie. It is so bad. Bruce Wilis acting was terrible. The Story was just terrible.
The story made no sense. Only thing it was about was some astrediod was coming towards the earth and they had to destroy it.
Armageddon - Armageddon Reviews
I couldn't make it through the movie because it broed me to death. I thought at first it was going to be a good movie but it turned out to be stupid. I guess it was not made for girls who like romance.

It could happen - Armageddon Reviews
We think of this as a sci fi type movie,but you don't know when this could really happen,in the movie they tell the truth when they say that we can only monitor 3% of the vast gallaxy & what is going on,so live & love well,in case.
Armageddon vs deep impact - Armageddon Reviews
Watch Deep Impact if you want to watch a good astroid movie. Armageddon had good music, and good spectical, but that was about it. Deep Impact was more realistic: depicting humaities reaction, self sacrifice, etc.
Armawhat a waste of time - Armageddon Reviews
The worst movie I have ever seen Bruce Willis do.
Liv tyler is an altime pain in the ass in this movie. Boring, yawn, forget it. Reed a book instead.

Wow!!! - Armageddon Reviews
I just caught this astonishing film again on cable, and I feel compelled to write a review. Now, I normally like to review movies by discussing various factors like the acting and story line, how well the different threads of the movie mesh together, and even how well the soundtrack further elucidates (or in some cases, detracts) from the movie itself.
But instead, I think "Armageddon" can best be summed up by just one of the many gut-wrenching slow-motion sequences at the end. In this one, children who are supposedly living at the turn of the century learn about their planet narrowly avoiding destruction from an asteroid via--yup, you guessed it!--transitor radios, then celebrate by running out into the streets wearing 60s clothing and playing with boxcars near a mural of JFK.
Since I don't think boxcars can be spontaneously produced via telekinesis, that means the children must have started building these boxcars several days before that, about the time that the entire planet first learned it was about to be pulverized by an asteroid. Because, you know, children do that.
Jerry Bruckheimer should have paid ME to watch this!! And anyone who thinks he has a scrap of talent should be deported to Mississippi.
Laughter, tears, and romance - Armageddon Reviews
This movie has all the elements. It's a great movie for those who want a good laugh, and for those who are more sentimental. I enjoy this movie everytime I watch it. I cry nearly every time as well. This movie shows it's better that one man dies than an entire nation. I love this movie.
Armaggedon - Armageddon Reviews
WE'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE, BUT BETTER. FOR ME IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE DISSASTER. EVERYTHING IS A DISSASTER: THE ACTING, THE DIRECTION, THE RIDICULOUS SCRIPT, I MEAN , I RESPECT THE ONES WHO LOVED THIS ONE, MOST OF THEM TEENAGERS WHO'VE NEVER SEEN A GOOD SCI-FI MOVIE.

Armageddon - Armageddon Reviews
Armageddon is a great film! It is all about the world coming together to be a better place, and not take what we have for granite. The story is outstanding! It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole movie. The acting is pretty good. It helps that a lot of them have been in other things that you probably have seen. The speical effects are outstanding! The comet looks real, and I didn't even see it on the big screen! This movie is better than King Arthur, Troy, and Van Helsing!
This is an awesome movie!!! - Armageddon Reviews
This was the greatest movie I have ever seen!! Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis along with the rest of the cast was perfect! It made me laugh, it made me cry .. what more can you ask for :)!
Amazing armageddon - Armageddon Reviews
This movie is incredible, so emotional and so Jerry Bruckeimer Style...It's good from the beginning til the end , the actors are great and the story is so amazing ...To conclude, I just want to tell everybody who don't like this movie to watch it again it's simply incredible.

1 of ben's best movies! - Armageddon Reviews
This is probably 1 of the best outer-space movies. I'm not really a fan of outer-space, but since my favorite actor (Ben Affleck) was in it, I had to go out and see it. Then, I bought it. This is the perfect date movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Common guys watch to enjoy only - Armageddon Reviews

Yay! this movie's so good!!!!! - Armageddon Reviews
This movies is so incredibly awesome. I had forgotten. I waited about five years until watching it...again. I used to love it but soon forgot about it. This movie has a bit of everything, it's serious, funny, sad, touching, thrilling, and just everything you can think of. This is a fantastic movie, one of those you watch when you don't know what to watch. It also has a great cast including one of my favorite actressess...LIV TYLER!! yay!! And Steve Bushemi is so hilarious. But this movies great, i'm sure you'll love it, just as i did.
Awesome - Armageddon Reviews
i think that this movie is really really good i love all the charcters in it they're really good in it this is just a awesome movie.
Unexpeted depth - Armageddon Reviews
Armageddon was a movie that shocked me just because it showed extreme depth. It was a comedy, drama, and action movie rolled into one. What it did is it made us care about every character and the end could give anyone chills. You honestly, miss and remember the killed characters in the movie like they were your own friends which makes the movie extremely memorable. Billy Bob-Thorton and Bruce Willis gives an excellent performance. Overall a wonderful movie. Michael Bay's best...yes even better than the Rock.

Arma gettin' my money back! - Armageddon Reviews
Once again Bruce Willis brings us a performance worthy of a indiarie cd! Of course Matt Damon had to cry, he does in every movie like his bffl, Ben Asslick! But I thought he'd cry during this movie because it was the apparent end of his cinematic career. Don't watch movies with this estrogen-pill poppin' looney!
The muppet meteor movie - Armageddon Reviews
Imagine watching a movie about Muppets being sent up to an asteroid to blow it up and save earth. Funny, right? Now imagine the creators making like it was totally serious. Add these ingredients and you have Armageddon.
Bruce Willis makes a convincing (chuckle, snort) speech exclaiming, "You don't need all these scientists!" as a table full of men in white coats scribbles anxiously on their clipboards. He was emphasizing how earth needed men with experience and not brains (who ironically are the ones who indentified the threat, but that's besides the point).
So he gets together his rag-tag crew of buffoons who apparently must save the earth with slapstick comedy. Earth is blessed to have Fozzy Bear (Steve Buscemi) do his "Waka waka" routine over and over again like a scratched CD even while Fozzy struggles to survive the harsh climate of an asteroid.
Ms. Piggy (Ben Affleck) is the one with the most sensitivity because he/she has a partner waiting back at home. This inspires Piggy to leap Rhode Island-sized canyons in order to save his/her fellow Muppets.
Eventually, the Muppets make it home with only a few casualties (like the Muppets whose names you never really knew on the show because they were just "filler").
So unless you take the Muppets seriously, save your dime and go watch one of the few movies where Hollywood didn't have their heads crammed up their asses. For the record, this is one of the few movies to make my *Worst Movies of All Time* list.
Rampant idiocy - Armageddon Reviews
this movie seemed to be written in crayon on a used diaper in a sprawlmart parking lot. when I was unfortunately exposed to this video at a family gathering, it was pretty much impossible to stay polite. several members of my dear family enjoyed it immensely, which kept with their track record of eating up the most noxious, trite film trash and avoiding anything unobvious, subtle, or well acted. basically, if it's more complex than a taco bell commercial, then the audience for this movie probably doesn't understand it. this movie nearly single-handedly lowered the bar to such an extent that we're still suffering for it at the theatres where brain-sewage like this is taking over like cancer... can we get any stupider? the answer is in this "movie".

Very good - Armageddon Reviews
I rented this movie last week because i was just really bored and wanted to just be entertained. and this movie turned out to be very good. it had great acting and it was very funny although it had its flaws i would definately suggest this for all of u movie goers.
Wow!must see - Armageddon Reviews
This is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it about ten times and I'm still delighted each and every time I see it. The acting is great, the visuals are damn good(for 1998), and the story is definitely original. This movie ties in sacrifice, love, humor, and suspense. With those great elements combined, how can this movie fail? Don't listen to those stupid critics, they judge so much that they forget that the point of a movie is to relax and enjoy.
Terrrrrrrrible! - Armageddon Reviews
This movie is predictable. Ben Afflec is annoying (when isn't he). Worth a few laughs, but not worth the film it's printed on. I don't understand why Liv Tyler is there - she doesn't say anything!

Da greatest men i ever met!('',) - Armageddon Reviews
the best sci-fi movie dat i ever watch great visual and sound effects.. great work for Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck!uhm.. nothin much to say.. thats all! (clapping of hands!)=)
Critics should be fired - Armageddon Reviews
The movie was great and I have no idea why the critic rated it so low. I have watched this movie countless of times and I never get bored. The movie has everything from romance to drama to action to humor, its just simply good. Forget what the critics say and just pick up a DVD copy and go watch it you definiately won't regret it..
It'll blow your mind - Armageddon Reviews
This is, personally, my favorite movie of all time. Superb acting and oscar-worthy visuals, Armageddon is why we see movies in the first place. No other action film can beat this movie. It has everything, action, suspense, comedy, even a little romance. With the music and beleivable acting along with some of the best visuals I have seen in a movie, Armageddon is a perfect popcorn movie!

D - for dumb humor - Wedding Crashers Reviews
I am simply let down everytime I get talked into going to an american made comedy. Who's rating these comedy movies... post pubescent boys and girls? I guess if you think bare breasted women, stupid cliches' and just plain dumb writing is funny... more power to you. I'll stick to the foreign comedies, until Hollywood can produce something more funny than this type of garbage.

Get past the story - Armageddon Reviews
I think that once you get past the fact that this movie is science fiction and that the plot is purposely far-fetched, the movie is quite good. There is good character development and the plot is quite moving -- a little TOO sappy in parts.
Well worth the time and I'll watch this movie several times again, I'm sure.
Doomsday - Armageddon Reviews
This movie is good and exciting the first time you see it but it gets boring. It is mostly a chick flick but one that guys will be able to handle.
Another casting mess - Armageddon Reviews
This movie has two of the worst actor around, in it, and the end of the screenplays endings a mess as well. The visual efects are the best thing about this movie. I ges you should watch it, but not more then once.

the movie is basic on what will happen if it every happen I believe it is a stunning movie that one day may be come true.

Amazing - Armageddon Reviews
This movie was awesome. It had everything you could want, graphics, action, humor, love, sadness, everything. The storyline was great, and well carried out. The acting was superb, beautiful performances by all the cast. In my opinion, this is an all around must see for anyone and everyone.
"fantastic" - Armageddon Reviews
(5 out of 5 stars) This movie is a edge of your seat. Truelly brilliant!!! This movie is one of the sadest movies I have evr had the pleaser of watching.
What the heck was that?! - Armageddon Reviews
Good visuals, and an enjoyable roller-coaster ride, if you can suspend belief for a while. :-)
Problem is, it goes too far. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong - there were too many gratuitous explosions (e.g. the MIR space station). After all, isn't there enough drama from all life on Earth being wiped-out?
The one-liner quips made me think of Independence Day, and the guys in a bar, the wedding at the end etc, was all needless padding.
That said, it was pro-NASA, which prevents me from awarding it an F.

Armageddon, truely, cool! - Armageddon Reviews
I'd first like to start off by syaing, Peter Travers, form RollingStone, can kiss my white ass! He writes "I truely hate Armageddon", you know Peter, you cridicts wouldn't know a good movie if it came up and greeted itself. The movie was great, Bruce Willis was awesome, Ben Affleck, not crazy about the actor, but he was pretty good in this film. Armageddon, just like "The Core", and "Deep Impact", tell stories that I love, The world might come to and end, and we need people to save us. Armageddon does just that, and I love it. The mvoie not only is action packed, it was pretty funny. And the movie wasn't funny due to bad acting, or bad ploit, it was funny, cause, it had funny jokes, of course the cridicts wouldn't get that, there too busy having their head's up their ass'. The reason I'm so pissed at the cridicts, is because this movie, is just that good.
FULL OF ACTION, SUSPENCE, AND A FEW FUNNY JOKES ON THE WAY, I GIVE "ARMGEDDON" 17 THUMBS UP, CAUSE THAT'S HOW LONG THEY HAD TILL THE ASTEROID HIT.
I give this my approaval, go rent it, you'll be glad you did!
Good actors make a good movie - Armageddon Reviews
With all the good actors like Thorton, Willis, and Affleck Armageddon is filled with action and a little comedy which makes it a awesome movie! The visuals are awesome! The director and producer did awesome work in making this legendary movie! Go buy the movie on DVD!
(Small kids may get scared)
Worlds 1st feature length theatrical trailer - Armageddon Reviews
Cut like a theatrical trailer. So vague, with the camera always moving, the 2 second cuts and one liners every 20 seconds.You guessed it:ITS A MICHAEL BAY MOVIE. From the same genious that brought us Pearl Harbor and the 'I Would Do Anything For Love' music video comes 'ARMAGEDDON: NEARLY 3 HOURS OF INFINATE GARBAGE AND BAD VISUALS'. This has a really bad screenplay. It can be funny at times, but like BAD BOYS 2, it can never decide if it wants to be a disaster film or a comedy. In the first 5 minutes Willis shots Affleck in the foot! These characters are supposed to work together to save the world and supposedly Willis' character respects Afleck's character. One character is a geniousin one scene and then or the rest of the film is a complete moron. The russian space station scene was so pointless, and obviously added so they can fit another explosion for another mindless audience.1998 was the summer of bad movies, really bad movies. i don't think anyu other summer has had as much bad movies as 1998. Besides ARMAGEDDON there was GODZILLA, basically the same film, with better editing but an even worse screenplay. Thank God for Mask of Zorro which saved the SUmmer of '98.

Deep impact wins - Armageddon Reviews
Armageddon has to be the dumbest movie I have ever seen in my whole entire life, this movie is very low if you compared it to Deep Impact.. Deep Impact has an amazing storyline that actually makes sense, its not like Armageddon where they hire Oil Workers to save the world.. If you want to watch a good movie and you had to pick between Deep Impact & Armageddon, go with Deep Impact. Armageddon has a ridiculous storyline, and it is an overated movie.. Deep Impact is also an interesting movie because they show the exact things that will happen if an asteroid does hit earth..If you havent seen this movie, and dont believe any of the words I said, then watch the trailers online for both of these movies..
Cool but sad - Armageddon Reviews
i love this movie it so cool but i cried 5 times! :( its sad why must u make it so sad!!!!!! i love ben affleck and owen wilson they're so cute.
Armageddon - Armageddon Reviews
Armageddon is the most stupidest sci-fi movie i have ever seen. Micheal Bay is the worst director of all time, yeah I did like Bad Boys, but the other movies he did, just bad and not worth watching!! Some good acting in it, but the rest, just cumb! The story is so dumb and so weak!! Please stay away from this movie! Bruce Willis why did you agree to be in this retarded movie! Wish it never happened!
Armageddon is the end of the movie world... - Armageddon Reviews
There are two kinds of people in this world, people who think Bruce Willis is a good actor, and people who are right. Any movie with Tom Hanks in it, for example, is destined to be a good movie, (at least on some level.) People who think that ?Armageddon? is a good movie because Bruce Willis is in it are doofy. The worst supporting actor award goes to Ben Affleck, who should return to his days in ?Voyage of the Mimi,? an educational video series for elementary students that he filmed in his pre-teen years. The only redeeming quality about Affleck in this movie is the lack of his J-Lo sidekick from later years. The plot leaves much to be desired. It?s yet another addition to the overdone genre?the destruction of humanity if the main character doesn?t save us all, (this time it?s an asteroid the size of Texas that Bruce and Ben have to blow up.) With poor writing and bad acting together in a movie, there is only one thing that can save it?explosions. Targeted at an early-teen American audience, this movie leaves you thirsting for intellectual stimulation with lines like ?Let?s kick some asteroid butt!? Sure, it?s entertaining, but it will leave you unfulfilled. If you?re looking for a way to escape from reality, and intelligence, ?Armageddon? is for you.

The movie of all emotions - Armageddon Reviews
This a movie that touches all a person's emotions. Armageddon is inevitable and I felt that it captured all the seriousness that was required. Everything from the story to the acting was even above oscar-standard. It's the only movie that continually raises the same surge of emotions every time I see it.
The best movie ever - Armageddon Reviews
To make things short I think this was THE most exelent movie of all. I loved this movie when i first saw it. It has a bit of everything, such as action, story, love etc. For me this movie was the favourite.
Spectacular - Armageddon Reviews
WOW is the word. This movie ROCKS!! Holy CRAP do new york and paris get it. This movie grabs you and does not let go until the final credits. Michael Bay has always been my favorite director...his style is SLICK, man! I loved Bad Boys and The Rock on style alone...quick cuts, odd camera angles, and really cool colors. But Bay really out-does himself here...this movie is like a 2 1/2 hour trailer, and who says that's a bad thing?? I don't know about y'all, but I LOVE watching the trailers, and most of them are better than the actual movie anyway, so 'nuf said. The story and acting weren't perfect, but who gives a f*ck? It made me laugh, stare in awe, jump, and cry...this is one of the saddest movies ever. GREAT flick....you either love it or hate it, and this guy right here wants to MARRY it. 10 out of 10. One of my all time favorites.
Houston... we have a comedy... - Armageddon Reviews
Giant asteroid is heading for Earth, hell bent on destroying the planet. What??! Better notify NASA. Since I guess maybe Superman, Ahnold, or the Ghostbusters weren't available, NASA has no choice but to call this motley crew of oil drilling experts (headed by Bruce Willis) and enlist them to go on the mother of all space missions: land on the asteroid, drill a deep hole, plug it with a nuke, beat it, detonate the nuke, and save Earth. You will have to put me down as one of the people who liked this film - simply because I thought it was funny as hell. I haven't laughed so hard at a sci-fi-comedy since "Mars Attacks!". Almost from the very start you could easily tell that the movie, though purportedly about a horrific doomsday scenario - namely, an asteroid the size of Texas careening into planet Earth (where everybody in the world lives, wouldn't ya' know it!) - never intended itself to be taken too seriously. It seems that every serious scene or sequence in the film was immediately followed by something totally comic or ludicrous. And it just got ludicrouser and ludicrouser as the film went on. By the time Steve Buscemi's character, Rockhound, got "space mania" and had to be duct-taped to a chair, I was nearly in stitches from laughing so hard. [If the "real" end of the world is even half as funny, well, I'm ready for it NOW.] The movie is chock full of wonderfully wacky characters and off-the-wall dialogue that (assuming you have even a smidgen of a sense of humor) should keep you at least grinning, if not guffawing, throughout. The movie is filled with rapid-fire action sequences, almost none of which is remotely believable or even scientifically possible, but hey, it looks good, and it just adds to the overall zaniness of the film. So for all of you space cadets who are out there in space looking for a great science fiction drama about the end of Earth, but instead found "Armageddon", a truly decent space comedy, I now command you to get on the radio and call back to Earth: "Houston... We have a comedy." Also recommended: The Fifth Element, Deep Impact, Mars Attacks!
Yu-kai's review for armageddon(92 points) - Armageddon Reviews
Armageddon is a good movie. It has some number of glitches, but overall it is very entertaining and emotional. the glitches deducted points from it, but the extra humor which wasn't a neccesity for the genre added a few points. scenes and effects were well-made, and the audio is quite good.
Down to points:
Video: 90
Audio: 94
Overall Plot: 89
specific Plot: 94
Scenes: 90
Humor: 89
Romance: 88
Emotional Moments: 94
Intensity: 92
Consistency: 90
Ending: 93
Glitches: -3
Glitches bother me A LOT, so lets talk about them first:
1) At the begining when the small metoer hit the astronaut and broke his suit, he flew out of space yelling. He can't do that; there's no air in space to transport sound.
2) At the begining where the little dog was fighting with the toy seller, he was biting the little dinasaur. The next scene you see, the dinasaur became man-size. It's impossible to change that fast.
3) When they calculated there are 6 days lefted before the metoer hits earth, the camera that showed the meteor going towards earth is WAY too close to is for 6 days. It also looks quite surreal with the blue fires around it.
4) Explosions in space is impossible because no air to combust....
5.)The part where they have to stop the detonator....it doesn't make sense how right after their dispute, they can get the electrical screw drives and open the detonator in 6 seconds without any preparations. The movie meant to make the time more intense but I think this is overdone.
6.) I dont' think that armadillo can hold a drill that can go 800 ft!! This is the glitch that bothers me the most! The movie mainly just shows some digital numbers going up....650! 680! 713! 780! 805!!! Yea!!!! ......yea.
Glitches said, go to the other qualities.
The video quality is quite good, which goes with the scenes. the director lighting and switching scenes were of a good quality and didn't constantly produce soemthing that made the audiance resurface out of the movie.(Like The Hulk's comic screening showing) The computer generated scenes were well made like the meteor shower at the begining, shanghai, and paris; double shuttles taking off. Also, I like the scene of the helicopters trying to catch Bear, who shouts "Come get Papa Bear!" scene. The President's scene was very high quality too with the music and the scence switches.
The audio was very good. Appropriate songs in appropriate places and does not interfere but supports the mood of the audiance of the movie. Sound Quality is pretty good too.
The overall plot is just about a meteor destroying the earth, and driller who are not trained for this, who have different characteristics and lives, risk their lives to destroy it. When it came out, it was quite an original movie and it cannot be concluded as "another dumb movie about saving the world."
The specific plots are very good, as it has romance, humor, and intensity in it, together forming a high consistency that keeps you awake.
The romance in this movie is basically their for people to develop feelings for the characters, however, t cannot be dismissed as being "bad" because of it.
The movie has a great sense of humor. Karl yelling at his wife, stereotypical jokes, dissing jokes, all have some form of intelligence and makes you laugh even when watching alone(which is harder to laugh).
It is also captivating how Bruce Willice is presented. At the begining he just plays golf on the sea and uses a shot gun for little reason. His "I don't care about anything" style is very interesting. But later you see him getting shaked as he yells out "You're NASA for crying out loud!" and "I'm sorry...about everyhing" While Ben Afflick is a guy who also doesn't give a D but ends up yelling "I love you!" at the end is really touching. It has a sad but good ending.
Intensity if filled in the movie as troubles constantly arise. First the lever breaks in the space station, and one of the two space shuttles crash before the actual mission has started, then the mislanding on a iron hard surface, and all the weather problems in the place. Something is happening constantly instead of slow pacing wandering.
Overall, this is a great movie. People who havn't seen it is missing quite a lot if you don't do it soon. Deep Impact is a similar movie made about the same time as this, but this one is way much better. Armageddon is worth watching and buying.
Last questions to ponder:
Can human survive 11Gs of weight being built up in 10 minutes?

Awesome movie - Armageddon Reviews
Out of all the movies I've ever seen in my life, this is my all-time favorite. It's funny, it's sad, it's action-filled, it's overall GREAT. Basically, a huge asteroid is heading towards Earth and when it hits, it will cause a holocaust--all living things will die, and not even bacteria will be able to survive the blow. The asteroid is too big to be blown off course by something on the surface, not even if it's a nuclear weapon. They decide that the only way to save the Earth is to actually drill 8000 feet into the asteriod and drop a bomb inside it, causing the rock to split and the halves to miss Earth. Harry Stamper, played by Bruce Willis, head of an oil-drilling team, is called upon to lead the mission to the asteriod, as the drill being used is one he designed. He and his team - A.J. (Ben Affleck), Rockhound (Steve Buscemi), Oscar (Owen Wilson), Bear (Michael Clarke Duncan), and many more, train for weeks to go into space and complete their mission. The plot may be a bit far-fetched, but it is played out wonderfully by a great cast. The script was written with a lot of talent, and it really shows through with intense drama and hilarious wit. I love this movie, it makes me laugh and cry and sit on the edge of my seat every time I watch it. I would reccomend it to ANYONE.
