Synopsis

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.

lord_cyrax This is what a call a perfect history that something that may happen in future. Very realistic movie, excellent cast, lot of action, amazing ending . One of the best movie I ever watched in my life
john_ferentinos_art 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.
christmascookiemonster Thin plot. Casting Big stars to disguise a mediocre screenplay. There is no way the world would send these fools up in space to save the planet. Ben A is so miscast. He was too clean looking to be an oil rigger. The plot of this is so stupid and it is padded out to 2 1/2 hours. This was the #1 film of 1998. Only people who are young and adults that can not comprehend a James Joyce novel like this crappy movie. Small words were used in order for the masses to understand
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.
