You had peak Willis, a great cast, thrills, chills, comedy, action, romance, and space.



Ain't gonna lie that animal cracker scene always makes me misty in the eyes



The only thing that woulda made this better (if that was possible) is if the Transfomers somehow had a cameo.







Pretty sure these are mostly real atronauts!




Michael Bay and Bruckheimer went all out and it shows!
This movie has everything a blockbuster should have. They just don't make awesome flicks like this anymore...

Affleck’s commentary is gold.

Is that the movie where NASA thought they could train oil workers to be astronauts quicker than they could train astronauts to drill into an asteroid???

The more touching seen is when Coach Yoast goes to see his kid and he tells his ex I’m gonna do something soon that you just might be proud of me


I mean I thought the kid would have been proud about the Virginia high school hall of fame but what do I know

Great soundtrack, but let's be honest... Deep Impact is the superior meteor movie.

Okay, so the scariest environment imaginable. Thanks. That's all you gotta say, scariest environment imaginable.

It is a very entertaining and rewatchable movie.

I always laugh that AJ got fired and the next day he had his own oil drilling business going.

When Jason isaacs is telling the plan and they say well the presidents advisors do it differently and he goes “ I went to MIT with his advisors and I don’t think you want the advice of some who had a C in Astrophysics”

Some of the best one-liners in a movie ever.

Armageddon is a way of life, and a dream to oilfield trash and plant baws.


It has a guy nicknamed Rockhound.

The theatrical cut or the director’s cut?

The part where they were drilling offshore was so realistic.

Much like Titanic, the wonderful supporting cast of this film did everything humanly possible to save it from the excesses of its director, (a ridiculous story in almost every way in the case of Armageddon) and the terrible romantic leads.
