Movie Reviews of Armageddon
Movie Review: The ultimate popcorn flick!
Summary: 5 Stars
The earth has 17 days until it is destroyed by a meteor the size of Texas. Billy Bob Thornton, as the director of NASA, brings in a group of oil-drilling roughnecks, led by Bruce Willis, to take out the meteor before it takes out Earth. The first half of the film deals with the team training on the ground, and this half is very funny! After the space launch, the film takes on more action and suspense, but retains it's humor. Ben Afleck, fresh from the set of Good Will Hunting, gives a great performance as the man who is in love with Liv Tyler's character, Willis's daughter. My favorite actor in this though is Steve Buschemi, who is hilarious as one of the oil drillers. He has some of the best lines in this movie.
As for the DVD, the picture/sound is great, and the disc has some decent bonus materials as well. The replay value is very high, because the film moves beyond the action, and delves into the hearts and souls of it's main characters, making you root for them even more.
Movie Review: Another very cool movie from Bay/Bruckheimer!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, if there was an asteroid heading for earth, who would I send? Bruce Willis of course, so him in this role is no big surprise. Rounding out the cast is Billy Bob Thorton, Steve Busemi, Ben Aflek, Liv Tyler, Will Patton, and plenty more. This movie rocks! Michael Bay (director of Bad Boys and The Rock.) has done another outstanding job, as did Trevor Rabin who did the score. This movie is a real American hero story and it does a great job of making everyone's feelings believable. The special effects are top notch and some of the best I've ever seen. Save the Star Wars:episode 1 trailer. This is Bruce Willis' best movie to date by far, and most successful at $250 mill. The sound is also nothing short of reference quality with directional effects and a wonderfully recorded soundtrack with stomach churning .1 lfe bass effects. All in All a highly recommended movie for everyone to enjoy. Kick back, relax and let the movie run its course.Movie Review: Another very cool movie from Bay/Bruckheimer!

Summary: 5 Stars
Budgeted at $140,000,000, "Amageddon" was one of the most costliest disaster epics Hollywood has ever made. Released only a few months after another disaster film "Deep Impact", "Armageddon" deals with the fact that a giant asteroid is on a collision course to earth and it is up to a group of deep core drillers working for NASA to stop the dreaded outcome. Extremely well-produced with top-notch special effects and a cast of some of Hollywood's best actors including Bruce Willis, "Armageddon" would go on to be the top grossing film of 1998 and gross nearly $600,000,000. It was also one of Michael Bay's first films in which he directed, and the success of "Armageddon" would allow Bay to direct many remakes of former Hollywood horror films like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Fog".
The movie is well known for the song "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" and its video is included in the bonuses of the DVD along with the trailer.
Movie Review: one of the best sci-fi in life time
Summary: 5 Stars
I can understand how people complaint a lot about this very unscientific Sci-fi. I've managed to accept it at my first visit in theater. Mostly because they did it all the way to end like telling u right in the face "this is how we wanna play it". The diagnoue r very cartoony that actually help a lot to digest the whole picture, since the whole show is like a big cartoon. And I like cartoon and animation so I dun find myself having problem to accept it. Once u beyond that point, the whole show is really joyful, MTV grabage my ass, it rocks and thrill and its all that matter. The only thing that distingulish good movies from bads is, it doesnt matter which way they plot and design the show, the question is just "how much" can they pull off from the emotion they are trying to deliver originally, this movie is about rocking fun with space as its background and they do hit it right for me. Just sit back and enjoy 2 hrs cinimatic fun.
