I hate this entire genre of movies but I love this one. Perfect mix of everything. Steve Buscemi is hilarious towards the end.

I particularly like the detail of the placards of the dead displayed during the final credits at the wedding.

It's a good movie overall just suffers from that weird 90s over the top style of writing, dialogue, etc. A lot of otherwise good movies from that era are like that.

I guess you could say "over the top", not sure how else to describe it.

Didn't he accidently call Harry Bruce on the asteroid?

I have never seen a cast deliver a more heroic effort (obviously excluding Liv Tyler and Affleck - they could have been replaced by cardboard cutouts and it would have been an improvement) to save a film from its terrible director and screenwriter.



This kind of heroic futility is the stuff of legends.

I have a buddy that absolutely despises Armageddon so when we're around each other drinking I'll start screaming "Harry noooooo! Harry I love you!!!"

I made him leave a party once because I was wrecked and wouldn't stop it.

Everything about Armageddon is just fricking absurd. The premise, the music, the light flares, the science, the acting, etc

But for some reason, it sucks me in every time.

it may be the perfect popcorn flick

shut it down and enjoy the ride

Bear!
Yes?
Do we have a problem?
No.
'Cause I'm trying to describe to you how these DATs keep your arse on the ground, so that if I were to kick you in the balls, and you don't know how to work them, what happens to you?

What is the deal? Is it just me, or is Watts really hot?

One of the true virtues of the film is that, like Con Air, every member of the talented cast knows the movie they are in is a total piece of shite, so they just ham it up to the nth degree.

That is not a criticism, that's why the movie is a total blast. It's completely ridiculous at every turn, but it's carried by a cast that could not be winking any harder at the audience. Turn off your brain and have some popcorn.
