Arma-ridiculous with great eye candy

Rating: 1/10 (17 April 1999)

The night I saw armageddon I had high hopes for a rock solid space adventure movie with a good sound-track and great cast, but you can't always get what you wish for. After about ten minutes of horrible acting non stop destruction and a script with so many plot holes in it you would think it's swiss cheese you would wish that you were dead. It starts off with Bruce and all his other red neck friends drilling for oil in what looks like the Atlantic. Here we get to see Bruce running around with a shotgun (very dangerous) and a small explosion that had no purpose but to stop people from falling asleep. Then Bruce and his friends get picked by the U.S. government to fly two space ships to the asteroid and blow it up. In the movie each man gets ten days of training and half of them can't even read, and it still gets worse then this. This film has only two subjects in it that stops you from hanging yourself, one of my favorite actors who's name I can't recall (he was the bad guy in FARGO) and the astounding eye popping special effects. I give it 1.5 out of 10
