Pretty stupid.

Rating: 3/10 (1 January 2006)

Not the most stupid film you will ever see, but definitely a contender. The first half of the film tends to be pretty dull, padded with unrealistic accounts of training amateur astronauts. The second half is disrupted by overly tight editing which surrogates for genuine action. The film is on a par with Air Force One and Deep Impact, and is similarly filled with gung-ho American flag waving - the pastiche, token Russian character is positively insulting.
Armageddon is somewhat reprieved by its special effects, but I still found myself rooting for the asteroid in the hope that it might wipe out Hollywood and save us from any more films like this.
