Overall, an entertaining movie.

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 1999)

Despite the headache-inducing MTV-style editing in its action scenes, "Armageddon" is--overall--an enjoyable movie. Special kudos to the filmmakers for going out on a cinematic limb with the [rather surprise] twist at the film's end. As usual, the robotic Ben Affleck [and his too-sappy-to-be-true, gag-me "romance" with cute-but-not-as-pretty-as-everyone-says-she-is Liv Tyler] is the film's weakest link.
