Armageddon (1998)
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.

Wow! Such a good movie.
A Disappointing Continuation
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Too long annoying and loud to be a trash comedy film, too "adult" to be a film for 5 year olds, which is the only intelligence this movie can go with, too ridiculous in effects to be believable by any person more than 10 years old, as the "fiery meatballs"from space are bad for even tv cartoons,main characters with the intelligence of the above ages playing with gi goe figures,and the "science"is so retarded and inaccurate that it makes "plan 9 from outer space" look like hyperspace physics from an alien race with 50 million years of supercognitive and psionic evolution. Don't watch it.
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!
Certainly this is in competition for the world film of all time. Entirely predictable, cartoon characters, grossly distorts anything related to scientific accuracy, could easily be cut by one-third and that would make it better but still horrible but at least the pain would end sooner.I could list all the stupidities, such as shooting a shotgun on a drill rig, or how it would literally be impossible to drill 800 feet WITHOUT any drilling fluid, in a few hours, or how, after 800 feet of drilling there is ZERO material brought up to the surface. Or how the shuttle and the armadillo can take massive impacts and escape essentially intact. To list all the inanities would exceed the allowed 1000 words.Basic plot is as old as the hills. Asteroid heading for earth, reluctant heros sent to destroy it, several crisis averted with mere seconds to spare, all interspersed with insipid dialogue that would surely get you a D- in Screenplay 101.If you want your IQ lowered 20 points buy the DVD.
it's a first movie in Hollywood in which i see all phases of human life . like from sci-fi action to comedy , emotional to love scene . an epic movie which i love to watch more and more times . Movie start from a emotional tensed scene then goes to a love making scene then again goes to a comedy scene a total overall fantastic movie . love to see again and again.in Bollywood you may get many example of movies in which u can see emotion , drama,love tragedy etc but in Hollywood there are a few movies in which we see emotion and true love and this movie is great example of total overall a blasting movie .A superb movie for all taste lovers .
