The "end of the world" movie...

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 1999)

Much better than the overly dramatic Deep Impact.
Jerry Bruckheimer and his crew (responsible for The Rock, Con Air and other excellent action movies) did their greatest job in this movie. As we approach the end of the millennium, more and more movies and programs about the end of the world show up. Liv Tyler is one of the best young actresses ever seen on the big screen. Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck did a good job on this movie. It has more FX shots than i've ever seen on any other movie this year, except maybe, Godzilla. The soundtrack is fantastic. The best song couldn't be any other than "I don't wanna miss a thing", by Aerosmith. This is one of the best movies of 1998, rivalled only by The Prince of Egypt and A Bug's Life. People say that movies like this are nothing more than poor crap. I strongly disagreee. A movie like this is meant for entertaiment. It's about the end of the world and the people who are forced to risk their lives saving it. We also see a lot of emotion from the people who worked on this film, especially Liv Tyler.
