Have I seen this before?!

Rating: 3/10 (29 July 1998)

This movie absolutely did not live up to the hype that it created. This movie is just like all the other "save the earth action films" that I have seen. Just change the format of "Deep Impact" a little bit and you have got Armageddon. There is nothing at all original about this movie. The only good thing about this movie is the soundtrack. Roger Ebert said it good on his review of the film: "Take almost any 30 seconds at random, and you'd have a TV ad. The movie is an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained. No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to get out." Girls if you want a tear-jerker, watch this movie, guys, if you like special effects watch this. Those should be the only reason you would want to see this movie.
