A cheap movie with high paid actors

Rating: 3/10 (3 August 2001)

The movie was so expensive to make because as business goes Hollywood knew they could get away with it. Look at the High price cast. That is nearly 3/4 of the film's budget.
Count the number of closeups given to Liv Tyler and the bland Ben Affleck. The whole picture is nearly close-ups meaning that not much of the budget was put toward anything else and we're suckers for paying admission.
I know it's all for fun and for entertainment's sake but should we not as a society seek films to enlighten us. Armageddon could have done that if it had followed a more meaningful sense of the biblical term.

The sad part of all this is why did we have to have another meteor movie just months before and as idiotic?
It is a "pick up off the edit room floor picture." Just piece it together and we'll market it.
Phew! I missed it on the big screen but caught it on the tube. To imagine the money invested and this is what they give us aesthetically.
Oh yea, the movie deals with a bunch of macho guys picked by a macho guy to save the world from a big comet or something like that. Beautiful Daughter hangs at home and we watch her sob.
They know their audience and it is all good business. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. Perhaps I am just too sensitive. Sorry dudes.
