The end of the world is near with a giant meteorite coming to destroy earth but a bunch of rig drilling experts are needed to help save the world, would you trust them to do it.

The graphics wasn't to bad and neither was the way they showed the story line and this film made you feel like you where there telling them come on you can do it. My Favourite Bit of the film was when Bruce Willis was telling the future son-in-law that he was to go back and look ...

Advantages: super action, since fiction.... Disadvantages: It is the best film.. How could it have disadvantages?

The word Armageddon came from the word "är'mə-gĕd'n". It means "The scene of a final battle between the forces of good and evil"... & I thing this name is perfect for the movie. My opinion:
Armageddon .. it is fantastic movie.. i think i have seen it more then 10 times and still it thrills me.. the acting, dialogues, emotions... all of them seems very real to me.

Advantages: Action packed Disadvantages: a little far fetched?
Bruce Willis stars as a roughneck oil driller who takes his merry band of misfits into outer space to save the world from a giant asteroid on a collision course with planet earth.
Its funny and its sad and its action filled but over all it’s a great film. With a giant asteroid hurtling towards earth and it’s too big to be blown off course with a nuclear hit. Bruce Willis is sent out into space to; well basically blow it out of the sky. They decide ... ...actually drill 8000 feet into the asteroid and drop a bomb inside it, causing the rock to split and the halves to Miss Earth. Harry Stamper, played by Bruce Willis, head of an oil-drilling team, is called upon to lead the mission to the asteroid, as the drill being used is one he designed. He and his team - A.J. (Ben Affleck), Rockhound (Steve Buscemi), Oscar (Owen Wilson), Bear (Michael Clarke Duncan), and many more, train for weeks to go into space ...

Advantages: Almost everything Disadvantages: Originals a flipper and inconsistency
Armageddon:
I was one of those people who bought a flipper when this film first came out, however having to turn the disc over has not spoilt my enjoyment of this great film.
Excellent performances from the cast, though Liv Tyler could have been more convincing when Bruce told her that he wouldn't be coming back. Special effects are the best that I have seen, especially the opening meteor shower, and that cameo appearance by 'Mr Cooper'.

This movie is the lowest form a condascending patriotic trite the American film industry can inflict upon us. The plot is banal and implausable the actors are unbelievable, and one dimesional need I go on. The plot is almost summed up save the word averted which is where Bruce Willis comes in as an rugged drilling contractor who has been assigned to plant an nuclear device in the fast approaching meteorite, he succeeds and thankfully dies, ( about ...

Advantages: Full of Action and humour Disadvantages: the ending
When I first watched this film I laughed and cried throughout it. This was a serious storyline to film and it was good to add some punch lines to add some humour in it. At the beginning of the film with the meteor shower was sensational. But the team of resucurers was something. They were not your typical saviours of the film, they added a lot of humour in it in the build up of rescuing the world. I reallly loved the main theme tune to the film also, ... ...and the film also. I now watch the film over and over again, even when it comes on TV I still watch it. Ot is a film you can never get bored of, especially with all the intressting and good looking actors in it. I seriously recommend that every one should of at some point have watched this film. ...

This is one of my favoruite films of all time, it delivers such excitement and you cant take your eyes off it for one second! The film gets going straight away when New York incounters a meteor shower, from this point i was hooked on the film and was unable to even look away! NASA plays a big part in this film and you get a real feel of what its like to be an astronaut! Bruce Willis and he army of oil rig workers fly out to a huge meteor the size ...

I love this movie so much, I seen it like a dozen times already, and with the DVD with extra features and extra documentries it makes my kind of heaven. Anyway this is how a Holliwood movie should me made, BIG, EXCELLENT ACTORS, MEATY SPECIAL EFFECTS, SEXY GIRLS, FAST MOVING OBJECTS AND EXCELLENT MUSIC (aerosmith).
Anyway this movie must be creditied for those eotional scenes with Bruce willis and his daughter, plus ben affleck I mean the scene ... ...he realise that he the only one who can set the nuke off but while doing that he die, but save the world, is awesom , really brung tears to my eyes.

Advantages: Very funny. Had me cracking up from start to finish. Disadvantages: Embarassment when you realise it was not a comedy...
No not Bruce Forsyth silly, Bruce Willis. He's simply too cool to let a 20km wide asteroid travelling at 100,000km per hour smash into our little blue marble and wipe us all out. I watched this film on video and hoped to God that they made it with their tongues firmly in their cheeks. It's enjoyable enough if you do likewise because if it was a 'serious' action/drama then, Hollywood, it's time for a big rethink. Still it has plenty of unintended ...

Advantages: Great special effects,storyline, chatacters, the whole film is one big advantage Disadvantages: You don't want to leave your seat until its finished
Ok where can I start, lets start with the film and did I enjoy it.
I just loved watching this film it has everything you would want in a film. Action, romance and the odd little bust up.
The film and the storyline is how can I put this, great.
You have action just about all the way through this film and you don't even want to leave your seat to visit the little boy/girls room incase you miss something. I kept wondering what would happen to us ...

Advantages: Mindless entertainment with little use for brain Disadvantages: Too pro American for my liking
Summer, another blockbuster another end of the world story... now this concept wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have Deep Impact crawling around recently, and this is the same story. However it is done better, there is more emotion involved (my wife actually cried at points, I just laughed when Paris got destroyed), the effects are better and there is more time done on the asteroid.
If you can put up with the usual pro-american propaganda like Independence ...

Advantages: Very nice movie with good music Disadvantages: A bit hard at the end
This is one of the best sci fi movies of recent times. The story was very nice, the characters were also very well chosen. Bruce Willis is too cool and Liv Tyler is hot!!!
A very enjoyable movie but typical US saves us again...
Well the story of the movie revolves around a big astroid which is heading towards earth and how NASA takes steps to divert it. The movie seems to be fun but there is lot exaggeration in the science involved!!! But that ...

Don't just imagine this is another asteroid end of the world story - a brilliant cast, a romantic undertone, comedy, surprises as well as excellent special effects should keep everyone happy.
Bruce willis at his very best, this film never stops, never slows down - just takes you from beginning to end in pure enjoyment.
Aerosmith's haunting title song sets it up superbly, on video you get the full video version before the film.
The comic elements ...

Armageddon
Oh dear, Bruce Willis has brought shame on himself with this dire attempt at a blockbusting movie. It is slow, daringly unrealistic and so false it is gonna make your nose bleed. After watching this movie once when I had the flu, i decided to watch it again to see if i only hated it because I was ill, but how wrong i had been. I hated even moe, and vowed never to watch it again. If you want to see a file that features Outer Space, get ...

Advantages: Great action Disadvantages: Bitt OTT at times
Armageddon is about a meteorite the size of Texes which is heading at speed towards earth. The film starts off by a shower of meteorites which fall down upon New York causing chaos & devastation. It is threatening to wipe out mankind in 18 days unless something can be done to stop it. A group of oil workers, who are approached at sea by NASA officials, are asked to train & go into space to drill a hole into the bigger meteorite to insert a nuclear ... ...hopefully blow it to pieces. Ben Afflick (who was in Pearl harbour) stars in this movie, as does Bruce Willis who is Harry Stamper the worlds best driller, the man (4-got his name) who played John Coffee in The Green Mile also appears, and Liv Tyler who appears in The Lord of The Rings.
This film is very atmospheric with many scenes including Paris (or somewhere in France) being hit by a meteor, and China which causes much devastation. There are ...
