Paul A @ScattiAtti 1d The Dirty Dozen go to space, corny tripe but at least it upset the Woke Left 😲 See more Sawyer J. @sawyerj67 Dec 15 I love it, full of suspense and action, bruce Willis is an amazing actor See more Kevin M. @kmowll Nov 28 A lot of action and humor. The plot was ridiculous of course. Just a lot of fun to watch. Some big names were in the flick, which was an attraction, but the dialogue and plot didn’t really give them much to work with. See more Lillian O Nov 18 This is the worst movie I have ever seen. This movie forever soured for me anything Michael Bay related. Terrible writing. Predictable and boring. Had this movie not been hyped up the way it was before my watching, we may be having a different conversation...but alas, I was promised the world and given dust in return. See more kish b Nov 17 ★★☆☆☆ Armageddon is the cinematic equivalent of someone screaming in your face for 150 minutes while hurling fireworks, beer, and American flags at you… and somehow it’s still impossible to completely hate. This is peak 1998 Michael Bay: an explosion every 11 seconds, a camera that spins like it’s on a rollercoaster, slow-motion lens flare porn, and a drilling montage that looks like an Aerosmith music video with NASA’s budget. Bruce Willis growling orders, Ben Affleck romancing Liv Tyler with animal crackers in glorious slo-mo, Steve Buscemi being the creepiest genius in space; everything is so over-the-top it borders on performance art. "I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing" plays roughly 47 times and the movie is so proud of it you almost believe it’s high art. But come on, the plot is wet toilet paper: real scientists laughed themselves sick (we’re drilling 800 feet into an asteroid with Home Depot tools, sure), the characters are walking caricatures, the patriotism is slathered on with a shovel, and at one point they literally shoot machine guns inside the asteroid. Inside. Two stars: one because it’s so gloriously dumb it loops back around to camp bliss, and one because, yes, when Bruce stays behind and whispers "Tell Grace…" I still get a lump in my throat even though I know it’s cheap manipulation. It’s bad. It’s loud. It’s ridiculous. And every few years I still crank the volume, crack a beer, and let it wash over me like the guilty-pleasure tsunami it is. 4/10, but 10/10 in pure testosterone and onion-cutting tears. Houston, we have a guilty pleasure. 🦅💥🚀🇺🇸 See more Mike G Oct 24 Great movie with some great actors. Gritty realism and a fine plot. I like that the movie thoughtfully covers the NASA training required for sending oil drillers into space to land on a speeding asteroid under the harshest conditions imaginable. The special effects and portrait of the landing and drilling operations are stunning and based on actual science of what this would entail. It's very reassuring that should mankind face this kind of threat they have plans such as this to save us, also that widespread panic and social unrest did not break out. See more Read all reviews
