Movie Reviews of Armageddon
Movie Review: Anal About Realism? Not for you. Want To Be Entertained? This is it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe this movie to be well directed and scripted. It had the right amount of humor, drama, and "feel good" ending. They knew when to be funny and when to be serious. It had a great cast and overall it was a very enjoyable movie. From what I've read, this was one of those "hate it or love it" movies and I really liked the movie.
As for realism, yeah most of that stuff probably wouldn't fly realistically but if the only way to save our planet was to drill a hole in the sucker, would I prefer astronauts be given last minute instructions on how to drill or would I prefer some guy who has done it for years? I guess it sounds kinda funny/stupid at first but...I would prefer the experienced driller.
In any case, if realism is what you wanted, this isn't for you. If you want a to watch an entertaining movie, this is one of the best I've seen.
Movie Review: Armageddon
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie Armageddon is about a group of NASA trained astronauts who have to go on a dangerous mission to help save the world. They have to venture out into space so they can land on an asteroid the size of Texas. Their mission is to drill a very large hole so they can blow it up before it reaches Earth. But no only does it have alot of action it also is a serious tear jerker. It made me cry at least 4 different times. The sad parts don't over throw the humorous parts. Althought the whole story plot may be a bit of a stretch the graphics and actors help to make it more believable. Bruce Willis as in all of his other movies was top notch and awesome' while Ben Affleck wasn't at his best. The soundtrack also kept your foot taping, some songs by Aerosmith. This is by far my absolute favorite movie; it is timeless and will keep making people awe for years.Movie Review: Great action-adventure movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite action-adventure movies of all time. For one thing, you have Bruce Willis in a role that could have been created with him in mind: arrogant, cocky, inflexible, and the best driller in the world. Throw in a group of equally skilled misfits and a love story subplot between Ben Affleck and Bruce's daughter, and non-stop action with killer special effects and a soundtrack to match, and you've got a great evening's entertainment.The plot is simple: a killer meteor is heading toward Earth, and Bruce and his crew of drillers are sent to drill a hole in it, drop in a nuclear device, and detonate it as they speed back home.
The visual effects are quite good, and the audio is outstanding, with excellent use of the subwoofer and the surrounds to create an entire sound environment. For action/adventure fans, this movie is essential.
Movie Review: this is a MUST-SEE
Summary: 5 Stars
first of all, i was very surprised to see so many negative reviews on this site. not many movies have made me cry. this one is good.
the acting was pretty good, tho i didn't really understand why they put liv tyler in it...sry but she's not that good of an actress. this is the kind of movie that u can watch over and over again and not get bored. in fact i was just watching it lastnight (k it was on TNT. but i plan on buyin the dvd). had my tissue box ready cuz i knw i was goin' to cry. sucker for movies like this. the storyline is absolutely perfect. many would say that the science is really off but i mean c'mon. it's a film. it's fiction. stop being so critical and just watch the film. it's definitely a MUST-SEE. ur missing out if u haven't watch this yet
Ps. one of teh best movie songs is in this. aerosmith rocks!
Movie Review: Great fast paced action style of the great 80's movies!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie reminds me why I enjoy movies so much. There are great special f/x and the movie is well cast. The characters all seem to be lifelike individuals with their own thoughts and motivations. The cinematography was wonderful. Buckheimer knows how to film a movie (check Enemy of the State). The scenes seem sincere and keep moving. Unlike many other movies where the plot takes two hours to build up to a 5 minute ending with lots of talking (Deep Impact, Contact, etc...), Armageddon brought the action to you and kept you entertained. It reminded me of the great 80's movies where the action kept coming (Die Hard, Raiders, etc...) even if some of the plot was a little hard to believe. Overall the plot was immensley easier to believe than most current sci-fi/action movies released now.
