Armageddon Customer Reviews (46 - 48 of 90 Reviews)

Non-Anamorphic
Great no brainer popcorn film with great special effects. But it is non-anamorphic. Why Criterion did this, I don't know. Other than that, thumbs up!

Excellent collection of material
The Criterion Collection release of Armageddon is a treat. It offers 2 commentary tracks, one featuring the director Michael Bay, actors Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has comments on several interesting things. Affleck's commentary is sometimes very funny. The other commentary track features the Director of Photography and special effects people.

The commentary includes interesting details, including background information on the characters and filming locations. Note: The commentary is raw and sometimes laced with profanity, although the movie itself is rated PG-13, for reasons explained in the commentary.

Although it's not much, this collection is also a Director's Cut and has a couple scenes added, notable of which is Harry Stamper's character visiting his father before launch. Some other scenes are cut slightly differently, adding some depth to the story.

The Gag reel on the second disk is extremely funny, raw, and not your typical "behind-the-scenes" documentary.

The second disk also features a tremendous amount of information on the special effects and includes many different trailers and promo material. The Aerosmith song video is also included.

While the story can be nit-picked, it's still very exciting and enjoyable.

Overall, if you liked the movie, the Criterion Collection release is the DVD to have.

Armageddon is a phenomenol action/drama that is perfect!
ARMAGEDDON stars Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Will Patton, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi, Michael Clark Duncan and Billy Bob Thorton.

High octane director Michael Bay (The Rock, Pearl Harbor) rocks the screen at his best with producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Enemy of the State, Crimson Tide) in an intense action drama filled with stunning visual effects, a realistic action packed plot and a thrilling emotional bond built around all the actors.

The plot may be similar to films like Deep Impact, but the story is twisted and smoothed out to an astonishing shine! After NASA director Dan Truman (Thorton- A Simple Plan) discovers that an asteroid the size of Texas is headed for earth, there is no logical choice other than to send of a team of oil drillers led by Bruce Willis (Sixth Sense, Die Hard) and Ben Affleck (Pearl Harbor, Dogma) into the heavens. The team must dig to the core of the asteroid and place in a nuclear warhead... The plot is awesome even though it seems predictable now, it is a very touching, emotional action picture with stunning visual effects that is sure to keep you watching this film over and over. This film is one of my favorites, siding with Predator, T2, The Rock and The Matrix. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who is looking for an awesome movie!
