There's bad and then there's Armageddon

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2002)

I know that there are films you have to not think too deeply about, but this goes WAY beyond the limits of "disbelief suspension". The characters are one-dimensional. The actors phoned in their performances, realizing what a piece of crap it is. Except Billy Bob, who was beleievable as a NASA guy. Most movies without scripts end in about 70 minutes, somehow this one drags on for 2 1/2 hrs. By the end, you are exhausted by all the quick cuts and explosions, and not in a happy way but in a weary "I survived Armageddon the movie and I didn't even get a t-shirt" kind of way.
