Bombasic and brainless

Rating: 1/10 (15 February 2005)

When I asked to list the worst movies of all times, Armegeddon usually makes it in my top three. Mindless and so calculatingly emotionally manipulative that at the end I felt my IQ had been raped by monkeys. We can live with the bad science I suppose, as there is too much of it in movie-land to eradicate (though Armegeddon is rarely topped for scientific stupidity). The main problem is the by the numbers attempt at tear inducing, with all the subtlety of someone grabbing you in a headlock and with each punch to the head yelling "YOU WILL FEEL SAD! YOU WILL FEEL SAD!".
Not even good light entertainment. The Day After Tomorrow was hardly a good movie, but compared to this mess it looks like Gone with the Wind.
