Possibly the worst big-budget action film ever made

Rating: 2/10 (16 June 2000)

Scientifically implausible, corny, cliched, filmed in a nauseatingly jerky manner, and overly melodramatic... Armageddon lands itself solidly in the worst 100 films of all time. Which, given the talented cast and the promising concept, is a tremendous shame.
While I was annoyed by the multitude of scientific errors, I tried to sit back and enjoy the movie as harmless entertainment... but the irritatingly bad camera work, annoying characters, and contrived plot made that impossible. By the end, I was rooting for the asteroid.
