Armageddon Customer Reviews (82 - 84 of 90 Reviews)

This is the largest packed special features release by criterion to date at the time of release. Being the case, both the film and the special features will be reviewed.

The film is about Earth being threatened by an asteroid that would cause the end of every life on Earth. There are some opening scenes of a metoer shower over New York City.

Chapter 3 on the DVD is one that some may want to skip. There are two scenes that may hit too close to home for some people. In one scene, a meteor is shown hitting the World Trade Center, and in another scene shows the World Trade Center with the top ¼ of one of the towers destroyed and the rest of it on fire.

The film has good acting with an all-star cast. The movie has some excellent special effects. The film has many errors though. there are too many to mention in less than 1,000 words.

The Criterion edition is a director's cut with scenes not shown in theaters.

The special features are really good. There are 2 discs in this set one of which only has special features. Disc 1 has TWO aduio commentaries. One is with director Michael Bay, actors Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The other is with cinematographer John Schwartzman and two scientific consultants. one from Nasa and the other an asteroid expert.

On disc two, there are deleted scenes, outtakes and blooper reel, (You may want to note that the blooper reel contains profanity rarely heard even in some R rated films and will offend some people.), Storyboard images, analysis of Visual effects and production design, Trailers and TV spots, and the music video of the song "Don't want to miss a thing" by Diane Warren and performed by Aerosmith.

Overall this is high quality and is one of the more well-known films that have been given the Criterion treatment.

I don't care what you say this is a well put together film!
Many are say this is a film that drags on to long and doesn't get to the point. If it didn't get the point soon enough the film would be a drag and would never end. Seeing how it ended, it apperently got to the point.

The digital features were amazing, though I must admit the astroid wasn't as real as I expected it to be. The casting director picked an amazing cast, whom worked well together.

The movie was funny, sad, and a enjoyable adventure to save Earth.

Bruce Willis did a wonderful job, and I watch this movie all the time becouse it is an enjoyable film and I recommened to anyone who as not yet seen it to go rent it or watch any way possible because I am sure you will love it!

great movie!!!
i liked this movie... i'd watch it over and over again... just so i can laugh and cry......
