Review of Armageddon (1998) by Lisa I — 19 Oct 2018
Armageddon is a testosterone and adrenaline cocktail, with almost no intelligence added for flavoring. It's the latest in a line of increasingly-stupid action pictures that amazes audiences with flashy special effects and nifty action sequences, but leaves them high and dry in both the character and story departments.
Armageddon is like a video game crossed with an amusement park thrill ride, and, to a certain extent, it can be enjoyed on those terms. It's certainly better than Godzilla, not because it's any less preposterous, but because it is occasionally exciting -- a quality that could not be ascribed to any moment of the big lizard's tedious romp through New York.
(Leave your brains for 2 hours and then proceed).
