A horrible, bloated, and hyper movie

Rating: 1/10 (14 July 2001)

This movie was not an action-packed guilty pleasure (Except for the fact that it's enjoyable to goof on). It was not mindless fun/entertainment. Go see Face/Off for that. Armageddon is a fractured, over-stylized mess of not much more than spliced rip-offs of music videos and television commercials. If my memory is correct, as the climax neared, the cutting between scenes increased in frequency. It got to the point when I didn't even know who was dying or who was surviving on the asteroid, and I was too dazed from the strobe-light effect of the MTV/zero attention span cutting to care. Constant movement does not necessarily equal good action, in my opinion. Therefore, I give this movie a 1. It is truly awful, possibly the worst movie of all time, and what makes it worse is that it made a lot of money, which has resulted in and will result in more bloated offspring to come. I will not be vacationing in Pearl Harbor this summer.
