Armageddon sucked--practically everything

Rating: 1/10 (1 August 1998)

Armageddon is the complete waste of talent, time, money, and effort involved in the making of this utterly preposterous and sensational action movie.
It's riddled with clichéd and idiotic plot concepts, lame acting, hokey love story B-plot, endless parodies of countless movies such as 2001, The Right Stuff, and The Abyss.
The opening credit sequence was really crap, it's the same "Genesis" sequence in Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan. The excessively edited movie looks like it was trimmed frantically by Edward Scissorhands stoned on cocaine laced with meth and crack.
The obnoxious and loud soundtrack gave me a pounding headache. Some certain scenes in Armageddon looked like it was a commercial shoot. The U.S. flag-waving glory while dissing the third-world regions is very cynical and insulting. I won't even elaborate about the utter lack of scientific accuracies that caused the disbelief and totally insulted my intelligence.
Overall, Armageddon is another stale and repetitive popcorn movie fare churned out from the BS Hollywood machine to make the quick bucks on purpose. IMDb has proved that there are the total of 9 writers who contributed to this P.O.S. movie, which is a total waste of the writing talents who sacrificed themselves for greed.
The question is, will there be more like this? Possibly.
Because the domestic audiences with short-attention span and the low I.Q. demands it. Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer should be shot for dumping this execrable and overtly sensational movie on us without warning. All they really care about is that they got us to shell out our hard-earned money, only to endure the excruciatingly bad movie.
