Review of Armageddon (1998) by Robwinz — 11 Dec 2020

Armageddon is such an underrated gem and it's such a great movie.

The movie's got a great story, which is about these NASA astronauts finding out that a large asteroid will destroy earth in the next eighteen days.

However, they find out that their only way to save earth is by getting this oil driller called Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) and for him to recruit a team.

The acting throughout this movie is honestly great especially from the main characters who are in this movie.

The dialogue which is given from the characters throughout this movie is very hit and miss. There is some really good dialogue at times but sometimes there can be some very cheesy dialogue throughout this movie.

Also, the humour throughout this movie is honestly really good, especially from Rockhound (Steve Buscemi) he's got so many funny moments in this movie.

The cinematography from John Schwartzman is decent. He captures the scenes pretty well throughout this movie but sometimes the lighting isn't so good.

The movie's got some pretty good pacing for most of the build ups, which end up happening throughout this movie.

Finally, the movie's got a brilliant soundtrack. The soundtrack features some great songs from such artists as Aerosmith, Bob Seger and Bon Jovi.

The movie's got a few little stupid moments scattered throughout and some scenes which take you out of the movie.

Overall, Armageddon is honestly a great movie. The movie's got a great story, great acting, brilliant humour, some pretty good pacing and a brilliant soundtrack.
