Lots of action but overlong and over-melodramatic

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2009)

Armageddon begins well with LOTS of ACTION! There's a ton of Special Effects as scenes of death and destruction shock/excite the viewer. Alas, the plot leaves a lot to be desired as a bunch of no-hopers led by Bruce WIllis try to save the earth from a colliding asteroid. At two and a half hours, the film is just too long. Viewer fatigue sets in with nearly an hour left to go. There are some unconvincing scenes of melodrama towards the end which are unlikely to make any adult cry. Still, its watchable as yet another brainless Michael Bay disaster (movie)!
Overall 6/10
