Simply the worst
I seen a preview for this movie and I heard from a friend and, I thought is was going to be good but it was HORRIBLE! The acting was horrible espescially Bruce Willis. I don't see how he got the part. I really don't like him. But the real star is Billy Bob Thornton. He is sexy and so good at acting. I would watch him anyday. But this movie I wouldn't watch. I HATE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Armageddon
Borrowing it's title from the bible's depiction of "the end of the world", Armageddon has an asteriod the size of Texas (a "global killer" if there ever was one) headed straight toward planet Earth, with an expected impact date of just 18 days.

With that, it's up to Harry Stamper and his team of oil drillers to save the world (as part of a 14-member emergency crew for Nasa); a task that consists of flying out into space on a rocket-ship, going around the moon, landing on the asteroid, drilling an 800-feet hole, dropping a nuclear bomb in and getting the hell out of there before it detonates.

It's amazing how the movie manages to take such a far-fetched idea and make a believable story out of it. And even if you don't subscribe to that last sentence and the theoretical possibilities it stretches to no end; you have to admit that, scientific logic aside, the movie is damn entertaining.

From the light-speed editing (which always keeps things interesting in a movie that could've easily clocked in at over three hours long) to the dialogue (the president's "let me address the world one last time before we die" speech rivals even that of Independence Day) to the surprising emotional depth (the cliche love triangle holds it all together like meaningful glue); Armageddon is a fun, adventurous, 22-thousand-mile-per-hour ride... with a team of little heroes and one big-ass villian.

Let's just hope there's also a happy ending when it happens in the real world.

Bruce Willis saves the world
The story is improbable to say the least; an asteroid the size of Texas is going to hit the earth. Two space shuttles just happen to be ready to intercept and destroy it in a mere 18 hours. The people who are chosen to blow up said asteroid are a motley crew of drillers. BUT.....this is great fun. It's gung ho, fast paced, high action FUN. Bruce Willis leads his crew of oil drillers on a mission to save the world. A less likely bunch of astronauts has yet to be seen...the gang includes a womaniser (Steve Buscemi), a spaced out geologist (Owen Wilson), an irresponsible daredevil (Ben Affleck) to name a few.
Also starring are Liv Tyler and Billy Bob Thornton.
Suspend any preconceptions of reality and enjoy this film for what it is, a funny, exciting sci fi adventure.
