Why bring a Mini-gun to outer space?

Rating: Null/10 (19 April 1999)

I had real good expectations when i sat down at the cinema. I mean after all this is a Jerry Bruckheimer production. BUT.... OK OK OK I can agree that it's an OK movie as long as the characters are keeping their feet on the ground. But it just gets boring in the space-part of the movie. The moment the ''super cool drillers'' gets away from the earth everything that possibly could go wrong GOES WRONG ( i mean if you are going to save the planet the space-craft should be 100% safe )! Sure it has some good actors ( Steve Buscemi rules! ) but Armageddon is still boring and way too long. All that seems to matter to the makers of this movie is the thrilling special-effects. And by the way....why bring a Mini-gun to outer space?????
