Budget, cast & plot idea call for a good movie, but there's so much wrong with 'Armageddon'.

Rating: 6/10 (15 September 2019)

The plot idea is epic, this is what you want for a movie. The execution is so disappointing.
No feeling for pacing - every important scene goes like 10 seconds, it's impossible to evolve any kind of emotions. Plus it feels like the same 2 songs are playing over EVERYTHING which try to give it a more 'epic' feeling, which kills the vibe more, cause you can't save a bad script by putting music over everything. Sparks and explosions everywhere for no reason. Rock colliding with rock = explosion. Rock colliding with wooden house = explosion. This is so shallow.
Also the plot has so many trashy illogical parts, unfortunately overweighing the good parts.
Physics are off or very hard to believe.

In the end, this is just a movie with good actors and a lot of potential which was thrown in a trash can for no reason at all. I'd love to see a remake of this. Without Michael Bay.
