too long and fake

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 1998)

Armageddon definitely comes in behind "Deep Impact" as far as the comet /asteroid disaster movies go this summer. The biggest problems with this movie are that it goes on way too long and tries way too hard to be moving. Spending twenty minutes on the asteroid scenes would have been much better than spending a whole hour. Also, at the end of the movie, I almost laughed at the absurd way in which it tries to make you cry. Anyway, if you want to spend your money on something related to this movie, buy the soundtrack. At least that's worth it.
