The "Anti-Independence Day"

Rating: 1/10 (2 December 1998)

Why was this movie even made? It contained nothing original - not that that's always a bad thing. While Independence Day took every Hollywood action movie cliche & wove it into the movie ride of the summer, Armageddon threw all their tired cliches into a blender & came out with a mess. (The screenplay seems to have suffered the same fate cast member Steve Buscemi did in "Fargo"). I didn't expect much from this film, and I still was disappointed! I couldn't recommend this movie to anyone, except maybe a 10 year old who had never seen a movie of any kind before! Watch any of the movies Armageddon ripped off rather than rent this hi-budget, loser. Is this the "Showgirls" of Sci-Fi?
