For love. For honor. For mankind.
When an asteroid threatens to collide with Earth, NASA honcho Dan Truman determines the only way to stop it is to drill into its surface and detonate a nuclear bomb. This leads him to renowned driller Harry Stamper, who agrees to helm the dangerous space mission provided he can bring along his own hotshot crew. Among them is the cocksure A.J. who Harry thinks isn't good enough for his daughter, until the mission proves otherwise.

Armageddon might not be a science lesson, but man, is it a good time! Bruce Willis leads a team of misfit oil drillers sent to save Earth from a giant asteroid, and yeah, almost none of it is scientifically accurate, but honestly, who cares? This movie is packed with action, laughs, and just the right amount of emotional moments to keep you hooked from start to finish. The characters are great, each bringing their own quirky energy, and the mix of humor and tension works really well. The whole movie keeps you on the edge of your seat, and even if you know it’s not realistic, you’re still rooting for these guys. By the end, it actually hits you in the feels too. Overall, Armageddon is a fantastic watch. If you’re looking for a fun, thrilling ride and don’t mind leaving real-world logic at the door, this is a movie you’ll love.

**_First, there was "2001: A Space Odyssey," and then..._** ..."Armageddon." Lol, okay maybe it suffers from too much modern blockbuster syndrome, but I couldn't help thinking that 1998's "Armageddon" was the 1990's "2001: A Space Odyssey." I visualize the sci-fi progression something like this: 1968: "2001: A Space Odyssey" 1979: "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (which towers alone in the Trek franchise -- a profoundly spiritual TRIUMPH) 1986: "Aliens" 1998: "Armageddon" Some might object that I omitted "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (1977), but it really doesn't fit the list. Don't get me wrong, it's good for what it is, a space fantasy, but it's just too kid-oriented to be relevant to adult-oriented sci-fi. In any case, I hated "Armageddon" when I first saw it and never cared to see it again. My dislike was a combination of the whole "blockbuster" syndrome with its fast-editing to please those with ADHD approach and, believe it or not, Roger Ebert's scathing denouncement, which illustrates the power of words. Well I decided to give it another chance. Wow, was I entertained! Despite my dislike of fast-editing techniques, the story pulled me in right away and held me to the end. Yeah, some of the melodrama is too much, like Willis' scene with his daughter (Liv Tyler) near the end (rolling my eyes), but the filmmakers actually put some depth into the story and it mixes well with the action and humor. Their best move was to focus on character so that we knew and identified (with) the many individuals before the last hour's non-stop suspense & action kicked-in. Speaking of the humor, there are some laugh-out-loud lines, like the one on not paying taxes, ever. Furthermore, the star-studded cast is great and I especially appreciated the inclusion of Keith David and Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP). The film is rather long at 2 hours and 31 minutes (the DC adds two additional minutes), but the story maintains your attention and the suspense, action and F/X are literally senses-shattering. So, yeah, it's a shameless, over-the-top "blockbuster," but it tries so hard to entertain that you can't help but respect it. Besides, in addition to the disasters, action and humor, there's some actual depth to the characters and story. Take, for instance, Willis' character stumbling upon Affleck and Tyler during an intimate moment where Affleck literally covers her with kisses while she just eats it up. Willis stops, looks, and reconsiders his stubborn position. Then you know why he does what he does at the end. GRADE: B+/A-

Another end of the world movie. Not really action more drama then anything. It's an unlikely team that saves the world.

Directed by Michael Bay, co-written by J.J. Abrams and starring Bruce Willis just being Bruce Willis while he saves the world from a giant asteroid with a proper bunch of misfits and some oil drilling equipment. I'm in!

**Armageddon might not be as good as I think, but it’s definitely not as bad as many say.** I know I’m an extreme to love this movie as much as I do, but I can’t help it! I know it’s filled with scientific inaccuracies (I’m ok with that. I don’t watch Michael Bay movies for the science). I know it has some cliche parts and cheesy lines, but it all just works. The casting director for this movie needs a trophy because every character has the perfect actor portraying them. From Stomare’s crazy cosmonaut to Fitchner’s by-the-book commander, along with Affleck, Duncan, Tyler, Wilson, Thornton, and more - this cast is stacked! Bruce Willis is the perfect choice for a grizzled oil driller that could save the world. The result is a cast of characters you care for, are scared for, root for, and almost mourn for. Michael Bay’s explosive directing and love for special effects guys this outlandish plot perfectly. And the soundtrack! Liv’s father, Steven Tyler, and Aerosmith provide an iconic soundtrack with songs like Sweet Emotion, Come Together, and I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing. The cast, music, effects, camaraderie, and epic heroism make this movie one of my all-time favorites!

This starts off quite entertaingly as "Stamper" (Bruce Willis) discovers that his daughter "Grace" (Liv Tyler) has been having a romance with one of his employees "AJ" (Ben Affleck) and so chases him around a drilling establishment taking pot shots at him with a shotgun. Sadly, though, this silliness is soon replaced by a greater one as we discover a great meteor is heading our way and "Stamper" and his team might be the only hope for mankind. Egged on by "Truman" (Billy Bob Thornton) they must quickly learn to be astronauts, then by way of a Russian space station, head into space to plant a gazillion ton nuclear bomb on the thing so it will split up and harmlessly pass us by. This is probably Willis at the top of his game, lively and mischievous and Affleck was at his most eye-catching, but the rest of this just just fits nicely into the well trodden sphere of sci-fi disaster movie. The visual effects are fine, but the dialogue is pretty pedestrian and the ending has a cheesy sentimentality to it that made my eyes roll. It is far, far too long. We spend at least an hour faffing about on the preamble, establishing the characters and when finally lift off comes, I was not entirely convinced the meteor wasn't welcome. There is quite a fun contribution from cosmonaut "Andropov" (Peter Stormare) who knows just how to fix high-spec technology, but otherwise this is all just a rather colourful vehicle for the star that is enjoyable enough, eventually, but really nothing to phone home about.
