Prepare to be Amazed!

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2007)

Armageddon is a great film. It is one of the best in its genre. My favourite Michael Bay film used to be Pearl Harbour, but not anymore. Basically, an asteroid is heading for Earth and it's up to about 8 or 9 ordinary people to go into space, drill a hole in the asteroid, plant a bomb and hopefully save the world. The chance of a bunch of ordinary people being asked to complete such a dangerous task is unlikely, but who cares? The CGI could not be better, the casting is superb and there is just the right amount of comedy without making it silly. At times it does get too Star Wars-ish but the rest is very realistic. It is a superb film. I really don't know why it has had such bad reviews.
Deep Impact has the same premise but in that film it was like a stone was going to hit the Earth.
It is no where near as good as Armageddon. This film is brilliant!
Prepare to be amazed.
Thanks for reading my review!
