Buy This Item Armageddon by Buena Vista Home Entertainment / Touchstone  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 8-30-2008     From the blockbuster-making team who produced and directed PEARL HARBOR and THE ROCK (Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay) comes the biggest movie of 1998 -- ARMAGEDDON! Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis (DIE HARD), Academy Award(R)-winners Ben Affleck (GOOD WILL HUNTING) and Billy Bob Thornton (SLING BLADE), Liv Tyler (INVENTING THE ABBOTTS), Steve Buscemi (CON AIR), and Will Patton (INVENTING THE ABBOTTS), ARMAGEDDON is a meteor storm of action-adventure moviemaking that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breathe! When NASA's executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option -- land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling, and heartfelt emotion make ARMAGEDDON an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow. Reader Reviews I have only seen this movie once. It been like early 1997, but that's only a good thing. Deep Impact came out the same time this movie did. Each movie recieved good reviews. Which movie would fair better for me? It cannot really be a contest because Armegeddon was no where near good. My grandfather saw the movie with my father and I and even he thought it was terrible. The movie starts off with a NASA Space Shuttle being attacked by little Flinstone size pebbles of a media, eventually getting bigger and destroying the shuttle. The plot is the same as Deep Impact. That is to destroy an asteriod to save Earth. If the space shuttle got taken out, I am surprised that the meteor didn't knock out the planet all at once. Deep Impact did not start offf with a Space Shuttle being destroyed. The scientists in that movie discovered by satellite that there was a big meteor storm coming; more reasonable than what hapened in Armegeddon. What was worse about Armeggeddon is that it made fun of Earth's environment (in a way). There was this big huge muscular cowboy on board an oil tanker messing with his wrench. They had a golf tournament playing with a golf ball, hitting it from one oil tanker to the other in the middle of the ocean. Worse of all is when a bunch of hickey's got together to save the planet earth and some other disturbing scenes. I don't even want to talk anymore about the movie. It also discriminated against Deep Impact in a way and was not up to my expectations. For anyone picking this up, be careful what you are watching. You will either love or or tatally dislike it. Garunteed! A majority of people loved this film, but a majority thought it was awful. I'm surprised if anybody loved such a terrible film.
