It's a yes!

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 1998)

When Armageddon was first released, I didn't really want to see it. I thought it would be just another movie about an unrealistic event. I heard mixed reviews about it, and I never got the chance to see it for myself. When at the store one day, I saw the Armageddon display, and felt compelled to pick it up. I impulsively bought it, hoping that I would enjoy it. While it may not be the best movie ever, acting or accuracy, I felt that it touched on every emotion a movie can. I thought it was funny, exciting, very heart-tugging, with anger as well. No, this movie may not be for everyone, but that is why there are so many different movies out there. Some people hated "Deep Impact" and loved this movie, or vice versa. That's why people make movies similar, but with details or changes in plotlines to satisfy those who didn't like the movies to which it is similar. I am very satisfied with the purchase of this movie. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. Sure, maybe the fact that Ben Affleck should have died about three times may ruin the movie for some, but the movie would have been awful had he and his partners died at those times. If a movie has the capabilties to make me laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of my seat, it gets my vote.
