A Mildy Entertaining Popcorn Film

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2007)

When an asteroid the size of Texas is headed for Earth the world's best deep core drilling team is sent to nuke the rock from the inside.
I was looking forward and not looking forward to this film. You know, these kinds of "astroid" films are usually long but this was a Michael Bay film, which is one of the best action directors out there.
I was surprised that this film didn't have as much action as The Island. I know, technology had grown. Some scenes were fantastic. One problem of the film is that I don't care for the characters. I didn't care for Bruce Willis' character or any of that.
Bruce Willis' performance was mediocre as the dad who don't let his daughter go out with a guy. Even the jokes in the film was kinda "childish". I really didn't laugh.
I found films like The Core, Independence Day, and Deep Impact better films and more entertaining but this film wasn't that bad. If you would like to watch a fun film with great action scenes, I wouldn't count on that.
