Realistic?

Rating: 6/10 (24 January 1999)

Criticizing "Armageddon" for getting the trajectory of comets wrong, and other esoterical details, is like ribbing the old "Flash Gordon"-serials for showing exhaust-fumes and smoke emerging from rocket-ships in a vacuum. (same thing happens in "Starship troopers" by the way...)
I mean..get over it! This is thick-ear entertainment, intended to amuse. I was greatly amused, if a bit shell-shocked by the violent effects and music.
Still..I do wish they wouldn't shove the Stars and Stripes down our throats each and every time our heroes go to their business..Us Europeans are getting well and truly fed up with this blatant jingoism.
