Details

When an asteroid threatens to collide with Earth, NASA honcho Dan Truman determines the only way to stop it is to drill into its surface and detonate a nuclear bomb. This leads him to renowned driller Harry Stamper, who agrees to helm the dangerous space mission provided he can bring along his own hotshot crew. Among them is the cocksure A.J. who Harry thinks isn't good enough for his daughter, until the mission proves otherwise.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
sergelamarche Great special effects but not quite real. Oil drillers saving the planet in space in 18 days? This film is sucking up. Lots of funny moments though, like a spoof of the apollo program.
aatabag I enjoyed every seconds. It contains both action, drama and sci-fi. Another nice thing is that the movie lasts 3 hours. No more to say. Need to watch!
Kingslaay This film was everything you would want in an Apocalypse or end of the world movie. It had a plot that was reasonable to go along with, great acting and directing and an immortal song. I am astounded by the low rating on IMDb, I guess people can't appreciate a great film. I had high expectations before I watched it and this film more than exceeded it. It had some iconic scenes and was just beautifully made. I wish I was old enough to have watched it at the theaters because it would have been a life changing experience. The beauty of this film is was uplifting despite its sad moments. Many felt emotional when Bruce Willis made the ultimate sacrifice and his speech from out of space is probably one of the best in film. I am worried for those who can't appreciate the beauty in this film. The movies are an experience and this was larger than life. Despite its silly rating on here it is still popular and memorable. Highly recommended, this should be on your bucket list.
nuoipter termer Armageddon is a Deep Impact-like movie where an asteroid is discovered to be on a collision course with Earth after a meteor shower destroys a space shuttle and hits New York City. The asteroid is big enough that if it hits Earth, it will kill all life. Oil rig drillers are asked to fly to the asteroid and drill a hole in it and plant a bomb to blow it up. They blow it into two pieces which don't hit the Earth. This is a great movie in that the special effects are very good and it's very fun and intense. It opens with a depiction of an impact that is thought to have killed the dinosaurs and a narrator commenting on that. One of the top few best scenes and maybe the best scene is where Paris is hit by a meteorite and is destroyed in a huge explosion.
