Armageddon
For Love. For Honor. For Mankind.
When NASA's executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option--land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling and heartfelt emotion make Armageddon an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow.

This movie is one of my all time favourites and I would highly recommend it to everyone. The acting is quite good, and the fact that the file has remained popular for over 10 years speaks volumes. I would say that this is one of the best space movies, it is romantic, funny, suspenseful and extremely entertaining form start to finish. The characters all have unique personalities which makes the movie phenomenal.Still Entertaining! - LadyBugAbode
I hadn't seen this movie in years, but loved it just as much recently as I did when it first came out. I had remembered it being overly "Americanized", but it wasn't as bad as I thought (much less so than Independence Day).
Bruce Willis is the classic action hero, and Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler and Michael Bay are excellent in this film. The acting is very good, very believable.
The story line is over the top, but it's a fiction, so it's what you would expect from a Bruce Willis movie. And I didn't find it so over the top that I couldn't stomach it. The special effects aren't bad by today's standards either, which was nice. Overall, a great movie that will entertain and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.Good but not great - olliekahn
Armageddon is pretty much a classic now, when during a time where disaster pictures were all the hype the one that sticks out the most is probably Armageddon. Amongst all that was released in the late 90's in the aforementioned genre, this film combines the most portions of actions, romance, and suspense.
The effects are great, especially for the time. The acting is actually quite impressive with a great cast. But it's ultimately predictable and over the top storyline kept it from being great, but still worth a watch.
