Diagonaldi Very well executed

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

tomntempe Certainly this is in competition for the world film of all time. Entirely predictable, cartoon characters, grossly distorts anything related to scientific accuracy, could easily be cut by one-third and that would make it better but still horrible but at least the pain would end sooner.I could list all the stupidities, such as shooting a shotgun on a drill rig, or how it would literally be impossible to drill 800 feet WITHOUT any drilling fluid, in a few hours, or how, after 800 feet of drilling there is ZERO material brought up to the surface. Or how the shuttle and the armadillo can take massive impacts and escape essentially intact. To list all the inanities would exceed the allowed 1000 words.Basic plot is as old as the hills. Asteroid heading for earth, reluctant heros sent to destroy it, several crisis averted with mere seconds to spare, all interspersed with insipid dialogue that would surely get you a D- in Screenplay 101.If you want your IQ lowered 20 points buy the DVD.

Kingslaay This film was everything you would want in an Apocalypse or end of the world movie. It had a plot that was reasonable to go along with, great acting and directing and an immortal song. I am astounded by the low rating on IMDb, I guess people can't appreciate a great film. I had high expectations before I watched it and this film more than exceeded it. It had some iconic scenes and was just beautifully made. I wish I was old enough to have watched it at the theaters because it would have been a life changing experience. The beauty of this film is was uplifting despite its sad moments. Many felt emotional when Bruce Willis made the ultimate sacrifice and his speech from out of space is probably one of the best in film. I am worried for those who can't appreciate the beauty in this film. The movies are an experience and this was larger than life. Despite its silly rating on here it is still popular and memorable. Highly recommended, this should be on your bucket list.

LeonLouisRicci One of the most Hated Fun Movies in History. Every Critic, in Fear of being seen as DUMB, Blasted this Thing into Oblivion. Even those that succumbed to the Ordinary and gave it Reluctant Faint Praise, predictably Included other Not so Kind Remarks, just to Justify.Director Michael Bay's Style has Never Once, Never Ever, No Way No How, been Determined Subtle, and He is Routinely Accused of being Loud, Incoherent, Numbing, Dumb, Over the Top, Over Indulgent, Talent-Less, and........The List of Derogatory is Endless.OK...Moving On to "Armageddon". It is an Assault on the Senses that one Invites, sometimes, in Entertainment to Experience the Limits of Endurance. The Hedonistic Human Condition that says..."That was Cool, give me more, please Sir." Overdose is always a Concern, but of No Concern to the True Hedonist. Take it to the limit...and then some.The Movie is Fun, Funny, Fiction that has been Accused of, get this...Not being Scientifically Accurate. There are actually Professional Critics out there that Point to the Films Disregard for Physics.Say What? They're Kidding Right. There Joshing. They're Not Serious. It is Without Doubt that these same "Pros" are Cheering and Piling on the Accolades of the Latest "Super-Hero" Movie. Where's all Their Talk about Logic and Physics Now? It can Over Do almost Everything and it Does, especially in the Final Half-Hour or so. But Getting there, the Previous 2 hours, is Plenty Playful to say the least. To say that it is Over-Indulgent is an Understatement.But if You're Willing to Go on a Voyage to the "Beginning of Space", no Need to Go to "Outer Space", that is a Thrill Ride, if Nothing Else, then this will Test Your Capability to Withstand Any Assault that a Movie will Throw at You.It could be Called an Inoculation of what was to come from the Director and other CGI Overloads in the Years after this one Slammed into Theaters and Viewers with an Impact of an Asteroid the Size of Texas. Denying this is an Entertaining Movie and a Helluva Ride is just being Cruel or Delusional.

opieandy-1 The only things missing from this farce were Murray, Belushi, Aykroyd, Guttenberg, and Candy.Sheesh. This movie could not figure out what it wanted to be. An epic story of saving mankind or a slapstick comedy. Trying to be both, it missed the mark.Thanks to the fantastic cast, not all was lost. But it seemed like a big-budget variation of a SyFy channel movie. The "special effects" were way overdone and beyond any possible semblance of the realm of reality. The idea that a band of oil rigging roughnecks could learn to fly a spaceship in a few days is an insult to everyone in the space program. The idea that we could land a spaceship going 22,500 mph on a meteor moving 22,500 mph is beyond ludicrous. And the movie should have been about an hour shorter.Otherwise, I loved it.4 stars only because I liked most of the cast.About my reviews: I do not offer a synopsis of the film -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very Good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A Classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating)
