Booo: Armagedeon, Independence Day, Etc.. Pt. 2

Rating: 3/10 (24 November 2009)

I'm usually all for long and dry movies, but this film was very long, and dry. I started looking at my watch about 1/2 way through this one -- I didn't check the watch for at least ... 3/4 through Armageddon, or Deep Impact, or War of the Worlds, or (insert formulaic doomsday title here). If it weren't for the special effects, it would've been utterly unwatchable. Seriously. And I'm usually the one who likes these cheesy action movies. I loved Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, etc. But no plot or complexity whatever, again + bloated budget, again, and no imagination, this time, slopped atop an epic 2000+ (?) year old myth = horrible film. I think I enjoyed Apocalypto more.
