Summary: The movie was great... but
Review: This Criterion Collection DVD was not bad except one thing the music video on the 2nd DVD was terrible, I was thinking it was going to be digital 5.1 sound and for sound lovers you know what I mean, it only came out of the center speaker only. Now the sound in the movie itself was incredible. The whole movie was 5.1 digital and well earned. The overall movie was great just Liv Tyler is cute, but needs more acting experience.

Summary: Slingshot around the moon!
Review: Who else could slingshot around the moon and save the world? Bruce Willis. Didn't he just save the world in Fifth Element? How many times can a guy save the world in one lifetime? I fall for this happy ending stuff every time. It makes my heart warm like my mom's hot chocolate on a snowfilled day. You'll love it, too.

Summary: Great Film, Great Action, can't people just enjoy?
Review: This is one of my favourite films. I can't see why people don't like it! Ok, the plot isn't a very realistic one, but who cares! It keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie. The characters are great, and by the end of the film you get quite attached to them. The soundtrack is really cool, as it adds atmosphere to the movie. Compared to films like Deep Impact this is 100X better! I think people need to see this film as having great action sequences, good characters, a good soundtrack, all in all an excellent movie! Don't be so cynical! Enjoy!

Summary: Marketing executives must have written the script
Review: I think that the McDonald's Armageddon cups were ready to ship by the time the script was written as both were crafted by the same people. Gene Siskel said that you are bombarded with so much action and noise that is ultimately becomes amusing. The truth: you are bombared with so much action and noise that it quickly becomes annoying. The movie tries so hard to be a blockbuster as EVERYTHING is overdramatized. At the beginning we have astronomers working in a darkly lit lab with a myriad of blinking lights. They speak to each other in anxious tones. During liftoff of spacecraft, Liv Tyler watches as American flags wave in the background and it goes on and on. Many people say you should just relax and enjoy the show. However, not everyone can relax and enjoy anything so bone-headed. Yes, there are some technical flaw in this movie but I'll spare you the list. I don't know how many dozen movies I've seen in the theater, but this was the only one I walked out on.

Summary: I just cannot suspend my disbelief that much.
Review: The movie wasn't that bad, but the errors are just too much to overcome: I mean, an asteroid the Size of Texas and you don't see it until it is two weeks away? We can train oil drillers how to do Zero-G work in less than two weeks? Those are the biggest non-spoiler issues I have with the movie. The DVD makes it all worthwhile thanks to an absolutely cool version of Aerosmith's video "Don't wanna mis a thing".

Summary: THE WORST MOVIE EVER!
Review: Godzilla's phrase may have been Size Does Matter, but this movie steals it with its unnessecarily overlong running time! The FX are laughable, the acting stood out, and the costumes looked like they were going to fall apart! Hell, the Avengers was better than this movie! It was pure hell to sit through! Do yourself a favor, avoid this movie! You may die bye the time it's over!

Summary: Great Movie - A Little Unbelievable
Review: The plot of this movie is absolutely amazing, and the acting is great too. But, the problem does not lie in the script. A few of the scenes are a little too far fetched and there are too many close shaves. If you are looking for a great action adventure movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat, though, this movie is for you.

Summary: it's so bad
Review: this movie is really bad. there is nothing good about the movie. the acting? nope. the actors are horrible and they look as if they are reading the script while acting. it's like cardboard. the storyline? absolute 5year old garbage. no normal human over the age of 5 can possibly enjoy this storyline. the special effects? it's nothing we haven't seen a million times. plus the directing it horrible. it gives me a headache. it mocks it's own self. Armageddon defines the average "let's rent this movie for a family evemning" movie. please. it is guaranteed to give you a headache.

Summary: Someone should give the editor a sedative....
Review: Usually when A Criterion Collection movie is produced, it's of a classic and important film. This film is hardly a classic, and I guess it's important only if you count its domestic gross. This movie is fun, but the story is week. There are way too many special effects that by the end of the movie, you are numb to them, and you don't even blink when an asteriod hits France. The editing is also too fast, and the camera is too shakey. This movie will satisfy action fans, but the story is overly patriotic, and the editing needs valium.

Summary: A total embarrassment
Review: Seriously, how on earth did this movie get to be in the Criterion Collection? It's god-awful. First of all, special mention for the direction. A high school film student could direct this film better, I kid you not. In the films numerous action sequences, Michael Bay gives you absolutely *no clue* as to what the hell is going on. And in the entire film, I don't think that there were more than two shots that lasted five seconds, I kid you not. Also deserving mention is the plot, which made me think how ironic it was that two of the *actors* in the film had won Best Screenplay Academy Awards (Ben Affleck and Billy Bob Thorton, if you didn't know). Certain plot elements that confused me: why did NASA so readily agree to having the entire fate of the world rest on the shoulders of a bunch of untrained oil drillers? Why did they mount gatling guns on small vehicles meant only to drill holes in an asteroid? If Ben Affleck "has always been like a son" to Bruce Willis, why did Willis try so damned hard to shoot Affleck at the beginning? (Don't tell me he was missing on purpose; it was a double-barrelled shotgun at close range, missing by maybe a foot. And he reloaded.) Oh, and what possible effect is one nuke gonna have on an asteroid the size of Texas? Other than that...no, actually the plot still sucks other than that. The actors themselves are...well, I guess they're fine, considering they don't do anything. Steve Buscemi makes smartass comments, but that's it as far as personality goes. Ugh. I could go on, but I shouldn't. Just rest assured that there is no reason to see this movie. I thought, when I saw it, that it would be funny if it was bad, but frankly, it's way too long. All things considered, this movie makes Ed Wood look like a talented filmmaker.
