Runner-up in the 2 asteroid/comet movies

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 2000)

Out of the 2 asteroid/comet movies out, this ranks as the lousier one. Deep Impact had a cast of more lovable characters whom we can actually 'bond' with during the movie, but with Armageddon, the only character we feel for is Liv Tyler's Grace Stampler. She puts in a pretty convincing performance of a daughter concerned about both her father's and husband-to-be's quest in space. I guess the ending was quite good, although you could almost sense who was gonna be the one to ??? (don't want to reveal the ending...). Quite enjoyable, but I still prefer Deep Impact.
