Armageddon
After astronomy students discover a comet-asteroid collision, an asteroid fragment 'the size of the Super Dome' threatens. The asteroid is going to impact Earth in less than a month, so N.A.S.A. recruits a misfit team of deep core drillers to save the planet.

The special effects are spectacular, even if the acting and script are patchy, but at two and half hours long, it overstays its welcome.June 06, 2014
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay are slick Hollywood operators who know exactly what they're doing: Armageddon's heart beats strongly, but it's pumping adrenaline rather than blood.June 06, 2014
Armageddon peels your eyelids back and blows your eardrums out until rational analysis is moot.June 06, 2014
Bay has simply botched the job. His action sequences, especially those on the asteroid, are impenetrable and chaotic. And the narrative, larded with the usual military double-cross, is preposterous.December 05, 2016
Virtually nothing happens, and it happens at the most unrelenting speed.June 06, 2014
It's such a thrill ride, in fact, that after its 2 1/2 hours of thrills, you're likely to feel more pummeled than entertained, which is just the point.June 06, 2014
It's strictly a side issue whether mankind will survive colliding with an asteroid the size of Texas; the real question is whether Liv Tyler, who plays Bruce Willis's daughter, gets to keep her boyfriend.June 06, 2014
By the time Bay and Bruckheimer appropriate John F. Kennedy's image in their final small-town-America montage, it's clear their pomposity knows no limits.June 06, 2014
Just when you think you've had it with this movie, there comes a farcical, rock 'n' roll sort of comedy sequence, or a hilariously goofy line.June 06, 2014
The special effects are the best that $150 million can buy and the script plays like a near-afterthought.June 06, 2014
How does Armageddon, a movie obsessed with countdowns and countdown clocks, manage to redefine -- downward -- the standard for summer stupidity? Let me count the ways.June 06, 2014
The end of the world is going to be very noisy and filled with some of the worst dialogue ever.
