Summary: It's not 2001, but it's not supposed to be!!!
Review: ...Liv Tyler is nothing more than eye candy in the movie. The rest of the crew gave acceptable performances. Billy Bob was tremendous as Truman. Bruce Willis gave his usual performance as the grizzled cool guy. Put them together and you have a hell of a movie. BTW, Deep Impact was boring and can't hold a candle to Armageddon.

Summary: Freakin Awesome!
Review: I scoff at all the "serious" reviewers who describe this movie as a lackluster, cheesy "blockbuster". This movie has everything you could want from an action movie and makes you feel damn patriotic!

Summary: Its great!
Review: I dont know what all the other reviewers are talking about...this movie is one of the best of all time. Sure the plot is a little unbelivable at times but the over all movie is a great one.

Summary: Literally painfully stupid.
Review: I used to not have a movie I considered the worst of all time. I've watched some pretty bad ones, but it's hard to distinguish one movie with a ludicrous plot, bad acting, bad editing, etc., from another. But all those bad films had two things in common: they had no talent and no budget. There is no excuse for garbage like Armageddon to ever exist. But it does, and the magnitude of it qualifies it as the worst movie ever made.

Shallow, idiotically patriotic, insulting, and irritating are a few of its characterizations. That so many people like this movie frightens me.

Watch "Deep Impact". It's a little sappy at times, but it's a far superior movie.

Summary: Mindless suffering?!
Review: Armageddon is a 2 1/2 hour assault on your intelligence and your senses. Sitting through this move was almost a painfull experience for me because the lightning fast editing just doesn't let up! In fact, the editing is so schizophrenic and so unyielding, that the barrage of images flashing across your TV screen is likely to induce an epileptic seizure, even if you aren't prone to having them. That could be forgiven perhaps, if the story had enough intelligence to make it worth the risk. Unfortunately the plot in Armageddon is nothing more than a vehicle to drive the action sequences. And what a perfect topic they chose to accomplish their goal! I mean, whenever the action lets up for more 30 seconds, all they have to do to get it going again is shower meteorites on the unwitting population of Earth. Wheeeeee, what great fun, and lots of cool explosions too! This movie is obviously geared towards Attention Deficit, adolescent teenagers. It's nothing more than a noisy 2 1/2 hour action sequence, and is practically a parody of formula Hollywood action movies!

Another reviewer here called Armageddon "brainless entertainment", but I'd call it "mindless suffering!"

On the plus side the picture and sound quality on the DVD are really good.

Summary: One of the most treasured DVD's for film buffs.
Review: I personally feel that Armageddon is one of the worst films ever made in the last decade. Having said this, why am I giving it a Five Star review? The reason being is that this DVD has probably the best audio commentary track i've ever heard.

From all the people that i know who have this DVD, they all treasure this DVD because of the great audio commentary. I can honestly say that I've yet to watch the film by itself. I can only watched this movie with the audio commentary, because frankly the film is very bad.

The four principles in the main commentary track, Director Michael Bay, Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Bruce Willis, and Ben Affleck all bring in their viewpoint of what happened during the shoot. But the greatness of the commentary track is how it makes us realize how badly the film was planned and executed. Ben Affleck's input towards the commentary is hysterical! He absolutely rips everyone in the film. I'm very surprised how Michael Bay was able to hire him as the lead for Pearl Harbor after how much he rips into Armageddon.

In the New York Times, critic Elvis Mitchell did an interview with the president of Criterion Collection. Mr. Mitchell commented that one of his favorite DVD is Armageddon. So for those "serious" film buffs who are ashamed of owning this DVD, don't!

This DVD also has a great deal of additional material, and they're very entertaining, especially the gag reel. I can't recommend this DVD highly enough.

Summary: for guys only??? NOT!
Review: ...this was a fabulous action movie, the one my preteen daughter and I HAD to have first when we got the dvd player, the one we watch again and again (my husband is sick of it). Anyway guys, don't assume we won't enjoy it, we're not all shallow and hyper-emotional. I repeat, "This is not a guy flick"! Do not leave the girlfriends out, they will love it. I do think most critics expect too much. Ever hear of watching a movie for fun, entertainment? This is the best kind. By the way I notice an inconsistancy in the cast, there seems to be an extra member of Bruce Willis' crew, he's not ever identified, but he pops up a couple times, around the table, when they are reading their demands and he's even pictured among the dead team members in the final scene...where did he come from and who is he?

Summary: brainless entertainment
Review: watch this movie if u absolutely have no intention of using ur brain and u just want to see mindless unrealistic action for an hour and a half. under those situations, this is an amazing film. otherwise this is difficult to sit through. its ur typical american patriotism action sappy film. throw in unlikely heroes, in this case oil drillers sent to space to drill a meteor, (that idea in itself is just ludicrous). throw in a difficult decisions between the cast. throw in ur sappy manipulative dialougue. the list goes on, but apparantly this is what entertains the public. if u want to see a disaster movie like this, ur better off with the mediocre deep impact. how many times can u really watch bruce willis and his typed casted hero role?

Summary: Shame Shame
Review: This movie is proof that with enough money you can get anyone to do anything. This film would have been better if they just had a huge gila monster swallow the cast as soon as they hit the rock. The only historical signifigance this film has is it marks the point at which a lof things just began to .... Aerosmith ... after doing this film. Ben Afleck ... after this film......

If your looking for a big rock movie try Deep Impact
