One gigantic phantasmagorically prolonged headache.

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 1999)

My God, could anything else go wrong in this movie? Every single possible malfunction that could occur did, and more than once. These poor 'barstools' must be the unluckiest bunch in cinematic history. I was half expecting the landing gear to stick when they're bringing the shuttle in at the end of this no-witted tour-de-force. "We have successfully completed our drilling mission here on this armageddon inducing space rock, but oh no, a big piece of the asteroid has broken off and is hurtling our way." That's a shocker! Hey, maybe the detonation device on the nuclear explosive will short circuit and one of these brave (but fake) astronauts will have to stay behind as some kinda sacrifice for humanity... And wouldn't you know it, IT HAPPENS!!! For the sweet love of criminy, tone the theatrics down just a couple notches director Mr. Michael Bay. My heart strings can only take so much tugging.
