Armageddon (DVD)

...true that Deep Impact and Armageddon turned up at more or less the same time. Unfortunately for Bruce Willis fans, who's cast as the lead character in this film, Armageddon is by far the weaker of the two movies and a pretty weak film in its own right. Like Deep Impact, the film has a group of astronauts trying to save the world from destruction by blowing up an asteroid heading towards the planet. But whereas Deep Impact was a well rounded film, ...
...reason to watch Armageddon - which seems to be shown on TV every four weeks - is to laugh at the cheesy script and maybe test out your surround sound system if you buy it on DVD. I certainly can't recommend this film for anything other than its comedy value. ...

Review of Armageddon (DVD)

Armageddon, what can I say? It was the best movie I have ever seen, I have seen it at least 20 times if not more. The basic story line is about a comet coming towards earth, a team of oil diggers are sent to the comet to blow it up, but will or wont they make it? In between there is a romance between Liv Tyler and Ben Aflec so there is something for both the gals an the guys. The sound track is amazing, throughout. The graphics are spectacular, and ...

I started to watch this film thinking Bruce willis,Ben Affleck,Owen Wilson and Liv Tyler all in one film must be a good watch. I was wrong. A bunch of missfit drillers(if thats the job) that can only be tamed by Harry Stamper(played by Bruce Willis). A meteor is plumitting towards earth and this drilling crew is sent up into space to plant a explosive in the center of said meteor with the intension of splitting it into two peices and just mearly ...

On the other hand you are sick of this kind of film like me then put it down, there is nothing to see here. Rated: PG13 Runningtime:150min ...

I remember as a kid of eleven marvelling at the special effects in Star Wars. Then at 13, Empire Strikes Back. At 17 was amazed at what they achieved in Return of The Jedi. All of those, pale in comparison to Armageddon. It's the little things that make the film, such as a scene, filmed where Apollo 1 took off and so on. If you like action films, then this is probably the best, that I have ever seen. Okay, the acting isn't the best (I mean nobody ...

Armageddon is good for its type - feel-good, action packed, God Bless America popcorn movies that do exactly what you expect and little more. And, admit it, sometimes that's the sort of untaxing balls-out fun you need... Yes, you know the good guys will overcome the obstacles and win in the end. Yes, there will be a weepy moment as one of the two men in Liv Tyler's life won't come home - will it be chisel-featured boyf Ben Affleck or protective ...

...willis provides the action. Armageddon has everything i want in a film, from an intensive plot development to fast flowing action and heart wrenching story lines that allow you to feel with the actors, the musical score provided by steve tyler and friends is the ultimate bonus to the ultimate film, my VHS copy is in need of replacing and i will be buying the DVD as i dont want it to screw up like the VHS. The story line for those who dont know is ...
...an asteroid hurtling towards the earth, they have a number of days to train and their own problems to deal with along the way. The face death and failure all the time and keep going, in the end of course the saviour is bruce willis. This is a gotta see-gotta own-gotta watch over and over again kind of movie, go get it NOW!!!, To elaborate on the plot; Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) is the head of a deep core drilling company currently on an oil rig ...

A good, great, wonderful, amazing film. One that you can watch over and over again without feeling bored of it. I personally must have watched this film at least 20 times. In the last 30 minutes of the film, that when the tears come, and they flow right to the end including the credits that play the Aerosmith song. You feel like you are experiencing everything with the team, you laugh and cry with them. A great cast, a great film, a great sountrack ...

It starts off with the most amazing cast. Ben Afleck, Liv Tyler, to mention a couple of them.It has a powerfull story line which makes you really think about the state of the world and different things that could happen to us all. It has a mixture of ...

I have seen Armageddon only yesterday night, and I've enjoyed very much this long film. It's not a "classic " movie but it's very entertaining and with good action scenes. I also love the digital effects and the space scenes, and all the Bruce Willis' scenes (It's my favourite actor since the first Die Hard movie). i don't appreciate the love story between Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck and, sometimes, think that love affair is too long, but, in my opinion, ...

The basic story is - NASA discovers that the Earth has only eighteen days before it is to be destroyed by a meteor the size of Texas. So they ask a group of oil rig workers to land on the asteroid and drop a nuclear bomb in to its' core. Of course it's not as simple as that, but I won't give the story away. The cast is excellent, starring Bruce Willis,Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler,Ben Affleck, Steve Buscemi, Owen Wilson and Michael Duncan. With ...

Aside from all the media hype about how amazing this movie is, I watched it hoping to be blown away in amazement. However, after watching it and shedding a few tears, and after reflecting on it for about 3 minutes, it really isn't anything all that special. After all, the main thing that got the tears going was the heroic gestures and human emotions linked with the prospect of being blown up in space. Liv Tyler is gorgeous; she always was and always ...

Bruce Willis at his bestin this fast paced action packed adventure this time set in space. You could have called it Diehard 4 with the asteriod playing the bad guy. When the chips are down, our Bruce is there to save the day. All said and done, this is an excellent DVD with special effects to stand against the best of the rest. The plot line is a bit contrived to bring Brucie into the plot; well how do you link an oil driller with destroying an ...

This explosive blockbuster will have you on the edge of your seats from beginning to end with a fantastic cast, mind blowing effects and super script. The plot is basically that the earth has 18 days before its obliterated by a meteor, and the only people to save them are a team of roughneck oil drillers, who will land on a second asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. The script is full of action and wit, and the cast (including Bruce ...
...job to create an emotional film. The 2 disc collectors edition is great value for money, as you get the exclusive directors cut containing previously unseen footage, commentry trailers, deleted scenes, storyboards, special effects analysis and much much more. ( The music video soundtrack performed by Aerosmith is also provided. Very Cool!) ...
