Armageddon is a severely underrated movie, IMO.

Bruce Willis
Ben Affleck
Billy Bob Thornton
Owen Wilson
Steve Buscemi
Michael Clarke Duncan
William Fichtner
Will Patton
Liv Tyler
Incredible cast. I also think the film itself was done pretty well. There are some seriously funny parts that made the movie flow really well - to go along with the emotional drama.
Liv Tyler isn't great, but she fine - and did a decent job with her limited role.
I thought the rest of the cast did a phenomenal job with their roles. Thoughts?

Let's think about this for a second. We have a few days until the earth is destroyed. Should we train astronauts to drill a hole, or should we teach oil drillers to be astronauts? Such a tough decision.

Ben Affleck said he asked Michael Bay that same question. He said that Bay stared at him for a second then said "Shut the frick up"

Secretly Michael Bay was thinking "frick! Why didn't I think of that?!"
Little did we know that Affleck would end up being a much better film maker than Bay.

I was just reading the trivia on IMDB. Apparently much of the cast and the director disagree with you. Several actors claim to have only done it for the money. Willis refuses to ever work with Bay again. Bay thinks of it as his worst movie.

I enjoy listening and reading about real life NASA-type folk tear this movie to shreds.

Who underrates this movie? I've never really seen anything bad about it.
Its a physics travesty, though. That'll never change.

It is often brought up on the board as a "guilty pleasure" for a lot of people. I've always enjoyed the movie - particularly the characters and their interactions. I think some of the action sequences are kind of muddled though and may have foreshadowed some of Bay's later problems.
As far as concerns about reality, physics, etc. - that doesn't bother me. But then again I also enjoy movies with hobbits, white walkers, zombies, Norse gods, Krypotonians, etc.

I liked it. True test of a good movie...can you find it on cable at least once a week. Armageddon? Check.
Bourne movies, Star Wars movies, Back to the Future, etc...check.

Whenever I play the actor > movie > actor game Armageddon is the movie to direct everything to and from because of that cast.
It is such a useful tool that I even say that I have to go through Armageddon to get from start to finish.
Shame you didn't add Peter Stormare, and I wouldn't really put Owen Wilson in the lead cast because he didn't have that big of a part. The rest are fine!
Shia LeBoeuf ----> Taylor Swift (w/ Armageddon Filter)
Shia LaBoeuf > Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull > Harrison Ford > Hollywood Homicide > Josh Hartnett > Pearl Harbor > Ben Affleck > Armageddon > Peter Stormare (SEE?! Stormare!) > The Big Lebowski > Jeff Bridges > The Giver > Taylor Swift

It is terrible

The cast did everything humanly possible to save this film from its director and screenwriter. The cast's efforts make it a watchable, but otherwise dumb film.

Agree with this.
Armageddon is legit good IMO...not in terms of believability, but in terms of sheer entertainment for me. Lots of great characters. it's funny, it's even pretty heartfelt at times, there is soem solid action sequences, etc. It's a great movie, for what it is (mindless entertainment, so to speak).
While I have fun watching it picking it to pieces on how silly a lot of it is, I can also sit back and truly enjoy it.
It definitely gets a lot of unnecessary hate IMO.

Of course.
I'm not sure I've ever seen you like anything (outside of Ex Machina
