When are these Hollywood folks actually going to LISTEN to their science-advisors?

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2003)

I'll start by saying that Armageddon really wasn't THAT bad, but its still a typical B-type Hollywood flick with more science-mistakes then I can count.
Sure, it started out good, but over time, it all just flatted out into a typical CGI-fest, where the special-effects became more important then the story, and where the director just decided to stop listening to his science advisors (if this movie HAD any) and do things HIS way because they "look good" and "sound good". With all due respect to Americans, this movie was just typical for America - the big bad cowboy riding out to save the world and whatnot.
Well, at least the actors did what they could, Bruce Willis did some wonderful work in bringing life to his character, as always, and so did most of the other actors - but the truth is, not even good acting is going to save this movie from me classifying it as "B-type".
With all the music, and graphics, and fast sequences, the entire movie looked more like a automobile-commercial then a doomsday movie. The plot is cliche, the graphics big and sparky, and everything just too dang typical. Maybe its just my bad taste.
Final score: 6 out of 10 (well, it had it's good parts, but they could have worked a lot more on the realism and plot)
