BAMMO!!!!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 1998)

Wow, what an EXPLOSIVE movie. This movie was everything I expected it to be: action packed and plot deprived. There wasn't a very interesting plot to the movie, as it just tells the story about a bunch of oil drillers trying to save the world. That's the basic plot in a nutshell, and it is quite far fetched if not utterly stupid. Armageddon makes up for it's lack of plot with it's explosive special effects and action sequences. This movie provides large doses of suspense and adrenaline leaving the audience breathless or dizzy. Some of the scenes happen so fast that it's hard to tell what's going on, and vomiting seems like an inevitability. If action is your thing, and you really want to see things get blown to hell, this movie is your thing. You will see New York get pummeled by a barrage of meteorites, and beautiful Paris disintegrate before your eyes. However, if you're looking for a movie with a decent plot and some interesting characters, look elsewhere. You'll just sit through the movie wishing you brought aspirin. Because I'm a fan of movies like this, I gave this movie an 8 out of 10.
