Rating: Summary: Best Film ever on DVD Review: This film has got to be the best film on DVD, especially with full surround sound. The story line was also great, even if it was a little unrealistic. A must see
Rating: Summary: THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!!! Review: This film is a waste: It took millions of dollars, several actors and an actress who have done good work in past films, and two of Hollywood's most successful, if superficial, producers to make and what are the results? The plot is not only idiotic but totally predictable, the perfomances are laughingly bad and hammy, and even the special effects are boring. The entire film is more or less just a long Aerosmith video. The worst thing in this movie is Bruce Willis's speech to his daughter before he bravely sacrifices himself to save Earth from the big rock. It doesn't come off as a father who has always been unable to tell his daughter how much he loves her saying goodbye before saving humanity. It comes off as a jerk actor reciting lines, while thinking about his twenty-million paycheck and how he's making the audience cry.
Rating: Summary: The movie is great. Review: I thought the movie Armagedon was great. The music was awesome and the actors were awesome too. I also thought that it was cool how they had Aerosmith sing the soundtrack for the movie and had Alicia to star in it. Ben Afflack looked really good in it too.
Rating: Summary: The ultimate DVD, a must have for all fans Review: This new Criterion version of Armageddon is just about as good as a moovei can get. With almost 9 minutes of new footage, bloopers, deleted scenes, and hundreds of other cool effects, this DVD blows all previous attempts out of the water. If you own a DVD player and you want one movie that is guaranteed to rock every nerve in your body, this is the one. I just bought it today, and after watching it for the first time, I am ready to see it again adn again. There are so many new things here that it is hard to keep up with them all. A great movie like Armageddon deserves exactly this- a place in the Criterion collection
Rating: Summary: A edge of your seat thrill ride. Review: perfect
Rating: Summary: Incredible Review: One of the best action adventure ever, Go Jerry!!
Rating: Summary: WOW PURE ENTERTAINMENT Review: This DVD is great. The only complaint is that is not an anamorphically enhanced transfer. Besides that the sound and picture are great. Must buy.
Rating: Summary: It is SUPPOSED to be entertainment, not science. Review: To start with, the science in the movie was really bad. There is no way you would send up oil drillers to an asteroid regardless of what has to be done. The whole idea of a dune buggy with guns is ridiculous. And why exactly would you send up an armed vehicle to a deserted asteroid.But back to the point... It is supposed to be entertainment, not a science lesson, not great art, not even great acting. Just entertainment. The action was great, the ending you could see coming from a mile away and still it did not take away from the effect. When we first say it in the theater the standing room only crowd cheered throughout the movie. It was ENTERTAINMENT. The DVD does the film justice and the directors cut adds in those bits and pieces removed to make it commercial (short enough to turn the theater over for the next showing - remember Meet Joe Black - 3 hours and not drink delivery in the theater). This is a keeper...
Rating: Summary: Not all film has to be art Review: Why can't some people take certain movies for face value? Let's face it, not everything needs to be Citizen Kane or 2001. Armegeddon is a fast food movie that delivers the goods to the core audience it was intended for. It was one of the few movies in the last year where I could justify spending $8 bucks for. If you want something with a little of action, romance and emotion and are able to take it with a grain of salt, this is the perfect flick.
Rating: Summary: Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer are da boyz! Review: Why do I give this movie 5 stars you may be thinking? Well, I personally believe that this film deserves 4 stars but others have given it one star which I definitely feel this film does not deserve bringing its average down to 3.5 (half a mark below what I want it to be). Sure this movie lacked some acting (Liv Tyler for ex.). They could have picked any actress over her, but then they may have not gotten the awesome soundtrack from Aerosmith. What matters to me when watching a movie is that I enjoy it. This must be one of the most exciting films I have ever seen. Deep Impact leaned more towards the characters than effects but seemed a bit long overall. This 151 minute film seems to go by in less than 2 hours which is a very good thing. The ending kinda touched me to (which surprised me). I DO NOT KNOW WHY! Overall, I feel this film had lots of class and is the best DVD out there due to the 2 DVD set. It's amazing to have over 5 hours of features (over 7 1/2 hours with the movie). Since it just came in yesterday I obviously have not seen everything yet, but I am very pleased with what I have seen so far. Oh yeah, I think you will be surprised how many trailers there are! With the teaser there must be like 30 on there!!! It shocked me! Shows how much time and money they spent on advertising. I agree with some critics whom say this movie is like a roller coaster ride. I suggest that you either buy the Criterion Collection or go to a friend's house and watch it for yourself. The quality is amazing! (not as good as A Bug's Life but the second best I have seen so far on DVD) One more thing, see The Rock!!! Bad Boys, another film by the duo (and Don Simpson) is worth seeing too. Actually, see all the movies produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer! They are all wonderful!
