An insult to viewer's intellegence.

Rating: 1/10 (16 March 1999)

There has been a recent deplorable trend towards movies which are little more than a collage of impressive visual images. These movies lack anything time based, particularly plot and continuity. The images may be rearranged arbitrarily without damaging the meaning of the movie, because there is no meaning. Armageddon is one of the worst examples of this style of filmmaking.
Armageddon contains many impressive images. However, everything else was sacrificed. It has a truly awful script. The plot is unbelievable. The dialog is pathetic. The continuity is poor. The passage of time in the story is highly variable and inconsistent. The science is particularly bad. The acting is weak. The direction is crude.
This isn't a movie, it's a screen saver.
