Allison Sets the Record Straight...

Rating: Null/10 (8 September 2000)

Okay, most of you people have got this movie ALL WRONG. This movie is NOT supposed to be especially realistic. It is suppose to be fun, and entertaining, and above all, DRAMATIC.(ie: the music video-like launch, failure, and landing scenes.) I personally think this movie is fantastic because of the drama of it all. Bruce is awesome in this movie (although he was better in the Sixth Sense, and he was pretty darn cute in the Fifth Element), but ANYWAY, he is still incredible, as always. Ben Affleck did a good job of playing the loving, try-hard, innocent, little-boy type in this movie. There are some times you just want to jump in and give him a big hug. Liv Tyler was awesome as the pathetic, troubled, split-between-two-men Grace, and Will Patton was SO cute playing Chick. The rest of the characters just added more color and fun to this already colorful and fun drama! Okay, I admit, it was a little far fetched sometimes, and really unbelievable. I STILL argue and get angry about parts, even as it being my favorite movie. And as for the american flag syndrome Armageddon seems to have, its okay. Its suppose to be that way. And it gives us Americans a certain amount of pride- if you have enough immagination to let this movie give you that patriotism. Yes, I am implying that if you don't have immagination, you will not enjoy Armageddon. As for those who have seen it and hated it- get the score and the album (I am the proud owner of both) and enjoy it throught Trevor Rabin's (and other artist's) awesome music....
