Big Hollywood Roller Coaster

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2004)

Well, in retrospect, this was a really big movie. There was no match for it in it's time and now it's classic (at least for me).
This action/sci-fi was made under probably the most powerful production/direction in Hollywood today Jerry Bruckheimer / Michael Bay with mega cast on stage --
Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Buscemi. All top actors play their parts well, Thornton and Buscemi truly shine.
Soundtrack is flawless to say at least, while Trevor Rabin delivers memorable classical theme and brings the atmosphere to every picture (this is his best so far), Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Patty Smith and Journey bangs out their biggest hits.
Film is overly very well made, flawless cgi (nice tackle to Emmerich's Independence Day). Everything nicely explodes and sounds, some small overtones are seen on the asteroid, like those "in space sounds", "in space fires", low gravity issues, but hell, if it was all made correctly it wouldn't be such a fun. So stop complaining, film-makers know that there is no sound in empty space, no oxygen to burn fires and much less gravity, yet they do it this way.
Big time movie.
