Best Disaster Movie of the 90's!

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2016)

I just re-watched this movie with my little kids (skipping the PG-13 parts of course). This is by far one of the most awesome and memorable disaster films of the 90's!
And it is still very very enjoyable today. My kids who love rockets and space travel stories thoroughly enjoyed this as well.
There's been a lot of complaints about it not being "scientifically accurate". I have 5 words for those people: THIS IS NOT A DOCUMENTARY! It's a movie! So long as the "science" is acceptable and believable to majority of audiences, and it is entertaining, then that's fine. This is not PBS or some Discovery channel documentary. I believe this genre is called "Science FICTION". Emphasis on the FICTION part.
Sometimes what makes a good movie is not good science. Take Star Wars for example. Scientifically accurate? Heck no! Great movie? Totally! This goes for Armageddon. I like that instead of professional astronauts, they bring in a rag-tag team of oil drillers and those guys save the world. This movie packs excitement, awesome effects, a decent plot, and believable "science fiction". And it made me cry--which is saying a lot as I usually do not do that. Bruce Willi's character's sacrifice and the "goodbye" call to his daughter was very touching. His daughter putting her head down with her hand on the screen after they talked spoke volumes. This movie is awesome. If you've never seen it, GO AND WATCH IT! Or go watch it with people who've never seen it!
