Review of Armageddon (1998) by Whizzy_Elephant — 13 Feb 2019

Significantly underrated, for its absurdness it is surprisingly overpowered by its sheer determination to bring real emotion and human feeling to its abundantly rich visual design.

Bruce Willis is definitely not my favourite actor, even when he appears in one of my favourite film (The Fifth Element). I can say honestly this is the only film where I feel his performance actually contributes significantly to the development and sincerity that this film needed. It doesn't come across as being that cheesy, because they carefully avoid keeping humour is only glimpsed in short bursts. And aside some logistical problems, most of the thrills are believable, as well as the stage sets and CGI.

I feel a good point to make this an eight also comes from the wide array of accomplished actors pulling amazing contrasting performances. Lots of drama, lots of interaction - I love all the characters.

It's a crazy far fetched film, but if you put enough sincere emotion and effort into it, i'll take such crazy and join on the wild ride.
