Fun in places, not that dated, try it...

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2018)

I recently watched this movie again. It had been many years since I last saw it and the wife had never so thought we would revisit it together. Firstly, just try not to overthink it. Yes, the plot makes no sense really, yep, scientifically it is most definitely incorrect and the acting and scripts are not great. It will never be thought of as Oscar winning material. It is though Saturday night easy watching and quite enjoyable and still worth a watch. It has not really dated too much. The film in my opinion is about 45 mins too long. The first half is the most enjoyable as we see the global killer asteroid heading towards earth and we meet the crew who must stop it. Bruce Willis gives a normal Bruce performance, Steve Buscemi is great fun and has the most laughs. Ben Afflecks 'AJ' the supposed hero is actually really annoying. It all actually just gets a bit tiring and boring when they actually get up in space and meet the comet, a fatal flaw in what is primarily a space movie. It gets a bit too loud and hectic and you kind of long for the end. Anyway, I still did enjoy rewatching it and so if your a bit younger and yet to see it, give it a whirl. It's not that bad.
