Summary: Awe-inspiring cast
Review: In one of the best action movies of 1998, Bruce Willis leads the way along with a great, and hilarious, cast. Ben Affleck co-stars with the daughter of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Liv, as well as Billy Bob Thornton, Steve Buscemi (who is very comical here), Owen Wilson, William Fichtner, and Will Patton. The movie was very well done, and the action carried throughout. What I didn't like about the movie, and what kept it from reaching 4 maybe 5 stars is the lack of reality it possessed. Just the idea of having two, not one, but two space ships land on a meteor traveling at millions of miles per hour is crazy. I realize it's a work of fiction, but come on. Some sense of authenticity should be present. I liked the movie, don't get me wrong, there was just some parts that lost the intensity for me. Other than that the movie was excellent. I liked the ending; sad, but I liked it. And the way that Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck fight almost makes them seem like brothers. So, if you are a fan of either Bruce Willis or Ben Affleck, you will--no doubt--enjoy the movie. Also, if you have a thing for movies about the world almost ending, then this one's for you. It's a good film; don't let my take on it's 'actuality' or 'reality' persuade you otherwise.

Summary: Take this movie for what it is
Review: Take this move for what it is which is an exciting action flick. The criticism I hear for this film is that it is fast paced resembling a 2 hour commerical. My answer to that is YEAH YOUR RIGHT SO F'N WHAT!!! first off the comet that was to crash into earch was discovered 2 weeks before impact therefore, thats a reason in itself as to why the pace of this film is frantic. I 'm sure every person would be frantic with the thought that the world would end in two weeks. May be the bone headed movie critics believe that people would be relaxed enough to take a tea break. Unlike DEEP Impact which resembles a 2 hours self pitty borefest, Armegedon got it right by expressing the true nature of humanity which is self preservation by all means necessary by never excepting defeat. I enjoyed the plot sequences ,the suspense, and action pact drama, and even the comedic twists that comes along the way. Jerry Bruckheimer did a great job of countinously keeping a viewers attention with the events that lead up to the destruction of the asteroid. He was breif and to the point with the scenes. As I said, this movie is what it is which is a high impact action flick and it does a great job for being that.

Summary: Probably the best science-fiction movie ...
Review: It is a great movie indeed - story, actors, images, sound, everything is perfect. Everybody is so proud of this family who does so much to save the world ; the father decides to sacrifice his life and gets a lots of positive support from his daughter, who litterally surrounds him with love. Just before making his decision, he informs his daughter, and sends her a last kiss over the video link. She is so proud of him but cannot avoid a few tears. It is very moving, and an exemple of commitment and absolute love.

Summary: Wasted effort on a silly movie
Review: Treat the 1 star rating as the sum of -2 stars on the movie and +3 stars for the Criterion treatment.
Armageddon is perhaps the silliest big budget space adventure movie ever made. Don't buy this if you're looking for a movie that makes sense. The characters are stereotypical, the situations are implausible. It's only redeeming quality is that some of the scenes look cool.

Summary: "Armageddon" is GREAT entertainment!
Review: I recently saw "Armageddon" for the first time on DVD and thought it was a fantastic example of movie entertainment. It's an excellently-produced science fiction/action/adventure movie. The special effects are top-notch and truly breathtaking. Script and character development are above average for this type of film--but of course, this is NOT "Othello"! The storyline is extremely interesting and the movie's pacing is packed with edge-of-your-seat suspense, with just enough deadpan comedic relief. I found no fault with the actor's performances--Bruce Willis does his usually-good "John Wayne" and considering this is sci-fi, the others gave FAR less wooden performances than, say, would be seen on ANY episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The movie could've done without the dumb Aerosmith tunes in the soundtrack, but that's a minor criticism. Since I thoroughly enjoyed the film, I was dismayed to see a lot of negative comments by Amazon.com reviewers who appear (in my opinion) to be "cinema snobs." And after "reading between the lines" of these reviews, I see a pattern of thought--which I thoroughly disagree with. The underlying "theme" of "Armageddon" is simply that for the most part, Americans--in addition to American values and technology--save the world. The attributes that Americans (although certainly not exclusively) are known for--courage, heroism, patriotism, both stubborn individuality AND one-for-all/all-for-one team determination--are very much a part of this story. I wonder if many of the negative reviewers were put off by the "Rah-Rah USA!" tone of the film. There is a certain type of liberal/artsy, anti-American, anti-NASA, anti-patriot attitude that would loathe a movie like "Armageddon"--and such a mindset would probably color such a reviewer's comments. That's unfortunate, because although "Armageddon" is very much an "American" story, it also exhilaratingly examines some of the very BEST elements of the all-inclusive human spirit.
