Due to a shuttle's unfortunate demise in outer space, NASA becomes aware of a doomsday asteroid that is on a collision course with Earth. It seems that the only way to knock it off course is to drill into its surface and detonate a nuclear weapon. But as NASA's under-funded yet resourceful team train the world's best drillers for the job, the social order of the world begins to break down as the information reaches the public and hysteria results. As high-ranking officials play politics with the effort, the drilling team all faces deep personal issues which may jeopardize humanity's last chance...
After New York City is damaged by hundreds of small meteorites, NASA discovers an asteroid the size of Texas is on a collision course with Earth. They recruit the best deep core driller in the world, Harry Stamper, to train astronauts who will go to the asteroid, drill into the center and detonate a nuclear warhead. Harry says he can't train men how to drill in ten days, so he brings in his own team of roughnecks to learn to become astronauts and get the job done. One of his team is the fiancé of his own daughter.
This is a film that, while not totally dreadful, was certainly dodgy. It attained this by doing several clichéd things and...well.
The actors' hearts aren't in it, the film itself is silly, and there's a far superior version out there (Deep Impact).
Still, this is mildly amusing, I must say. It passes the time, but nothing more. Bad acting, cardboard characters and a ridiculous plot. Then again, it does pass an evening, and the settings and special effects look good. Not the worst film I've seen by a long stretch.
A small afterword. Billy Bob Thornton admitted this was the first film he hated, but did for the money. Think about that one.
The problem with blockbuster films like `Armageddon' is that they want to do everything. They want heartbreaking romance, pulse-pounding action, gripping drama, slapstick comedy . . . all in the same film. Trouble is, few films ever succeed in accomplishing this tricky blend of different genres. `Armageddon' isn't one of them.
In a nutshell, `Armageddon' starts out as a disaster epic, with a Texas-sized meteor hurtling towards Earth. This meteor will obliterate all life on Earth unless a group of oil drillers can somehow fly to the meteor, drill a big hole into the side of the meteor, and blow up the meteor with a sizeable amount of nuclear explosives. Mixed into this disaster epic is a full-blown romance, comedy, serious, thought-provoking moments, and a smattering of other scenes designed to give `Armageddon' the feel of a true Hollywood epic. What comes out instead is a true, bloated Hollywood mess.
`Armageddon', which at least looks cool and has the superficial sheen of a Hollywood blockbuster, is weighted down by a barely there script and awkward shifts of tone. It's hard to take a character's impassioned speech about saving the Earth seriously when he's only been cracking jokes about the matter only moments before. Shifts in mood like this look effortless and natural when they're done right; the shifts between comedy/drama/romance/et cetera in `Armageddon' are labored and forced.
The story suffers from major plot holes as well. Forget the logistical impossibilities of `Armageddon'; even simple stuff gets made unbelievably preposterous. For example, the meteor is the size of Texas . . . but the drillers only have to drill down four hundred feet into the meteor's surface? Hey, why bother drilling at all, if that's the case? There's a tedious section of the film involving the Mir space station that does nothing but waste film, there's enough crashes and accidents to fill twelve action films, let alone one - `Armageddon' reeks of excess, and suffers because of it.
As Harry Stamper, Bruce Willis saves this film from being unwatchable crap. Even if the story's ludicrous, he makes Harry Stamper a quiet, reluctant, slightly believable hero, and more importantly, he makes Stamper somebody an audience can root for. Willis is good enough to single-handedly pull `Armageddon' out of the trash and make it at least entertaining. Also good is Michael Duncan Clarke as `Bear' - he comes across as a person, rather than just as a cartoon character, and as such he's someone to root for as well. Ben Affleck is completely bland and forgettable as A.J. Frost, as is Liv Tyler as Harry Stamper's daughter Grace- considering they're the two romantically linked characters, it makes for a fairly uninteresting romance. If the Harry Stamper character didn't care so much about Grace and A.J., both of those characters would've been a complete waste of screen time.
Still, `Armageddon' deserves credit for trying to hit a home run, even if it only wound up with a cheap single. The movie's still kind of fun, in a mindless, dumb sort of way. If you're in the mood for a decent, cheesy popcorn flick, rent it, and watch it on a big screen TV with a killer sound system. But only watch it once, unless you want the plot holes to drive you utterly mad.
Grade: B-/C+
It might make you tense, it might make you nauseous, and its clangorous roar could well give you a migraine headache.
An asteroid the size of Texas is on a collision course with Earth. NASA puts together a team of oil drillers, lead by Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis), considered to be the best deep core driller in the world, and plans to send them up to the asteroid in order to plant a nuclear warhead 800 feet deep inside of it. The hope is that the warhead will blow the asteroid into two pieces, both of which will safely fly past the earth. Armageddon is based on a screenplay by American screenwriters Jonathan Hensleigh, J.J. Abrams, and Robert Pool. The movie was subsequently novelized as Armageddon (1998) by M. C. Bolin. There is evidence that Earth was hit roughly 65 million years ago by a stellar object that was at least 6 miles wide. The impact location was in the Gulf of Mexico, just above the Yucatan peninsula (Chicxulub crater). This event would have caused giant tidal waves (tsunamis) and clouds of superheated vapor and dust, causing direct destruction. Moreover, the impact would have caused a chain reaction of global earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Indirect effects would be the mass production of carbon monoxide, causing a dramatic greenhouse effect, and the ejection of dust into the atmosphere, which would have seriously affected plantlife and the entire foodchain. This event is widely believed to be the cause of the massive extinction on Earth in that period. That said, not all life was obliterated; that is why we exist. There are, however, scientists who claim that the impact alone was not enough to create a total extinction. Some theories postulate that climate changes had already caused many species of dinosaurs to disappear, and that the meteor was yet another cause; other theories state that there were multiple impacts on other places and that the combined effect caused the extinction. Harry says no and explains that he has drilled all over the world for thirty years but still doesn't know everything. He calls drilling "an art", probably meaning that it is a profession that requires experience and instinct; not an exact science that can be simply taught in 12 days. Teaching drillers to be astronauts in 12 days would be easier, provided that they don't have to fly a shuttle or repair NASA machinery; they already have the physical build to survive the trip (at least most of them do), they are used to rough conditions, and they only need to learn to work in zero-g environments. The song is titled "Leaving on a Jet Plane". It was written by John Denver in 1966 and recorded by various artists, including the Chad Mitchell Trio, Spanky and Our Gang, and Peter, Paul and Mary. It's not entirely far-fetched. First off, Harry runs his own drilling company. He is in charge of an entire oil rig with dozens of employees, so he's likely got his hands full most of the time with managing his crew, the actual logistics of the well-drilling, dealing with AJ's insubordination and meeting his clients' needs. Also, there are likely rotating shifts on the rigs, so AJ (Ben Affleck) and Grace (Liv Tyler) wouldn't be on the rig 100% of their lives. Harry would likely spend more time on the rig than either of them. Thus, AJ and Grace may have started seeing each other off the rig and continued on and off. It's entirely possible that, when Harry catches them, it was the first time they had been on the rig at the same time while in a relationship or they simply stopped being so careful to hide their relationship from Harry himself. Some of the other workers on the rig also knew about Grace and AJ, and they could have helped the couple keep their relationship secret as well. There's a bit of fleeting dialog when Stamper's roughnecks are going through their NASA training: Harry says that they have to "split the asteroid on the fault line", meaning that there was a gigantic geographical crack already present in the asteroid—it was likely discovered by NASA while they were monitoring the asteroid's approach. By drilling deep enough to expose or come within a short distance of the fault, the explosion would be sufficient enough to crack the asteroid the rest of the way. It's a quick moment in the film, easy to miss. When Independence crashes, Oscar's (Owen Wilson) faceplate on his helmet gets smashed while he's strapped into his chair. Noonan (Clark Heathcliff Brolly), munition specialist Halsey (Greg Collins) and the two pilots are killed, seemingly all getting sucked out the window of the ship when it gets smashed (though only the pilots are shown). A.J.(Ben Affleck), Bear (Michael Clarke Duncan), and Lev Andropov (Peter Stormare) survive. All of the crew on Freedom survive with the exception of Max (Ken Hudson Campbell) who dies when the Armadillo hits a gas pocket while drilling, destroying the vehicle and sending it floating into space with Max still inside. Munitions specialist Gruber (Grayson McCouch) gets killed during a violent meteor shower, and Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) voluntarily stays behind to self-detonate the nuke and destroys the asteroid. Given the fact that the loan shark was present at A.J. & Grace's wedding, and the fact that Rockhound was one of the people who saved the world, it's likely the loan shark forgave the debt with no hard feelings. AJ draws the short straw designating him as the one who must stay behind on the asteroid in order to detonate the bomb. Harry offers to take AJ to the airlock. As they prepare to exit, Harry tears his mission patch from his suit, rips AJ's airhose from his spacesuit and pushes him back into the airlock, taking AJ's place as the detonator. "You're gonna take care of my little girl now," Harry tells him above his protests. "I always thought of you as a son...I'd be damn proud to have you marry Grace." He requests that AJ give his mission patch to Truman. As pilots Sharpe (William Fichtner) and Watts (Jessica Steen) prepare the ship for liftoff, Harry makes a final tearful call to Grace in order to say goodbye. When the ship's thrusters refuse to start, Watts attempt to fix them without success. Obviously tired of Watts' take charge attitude, Lev pushes her aside and bangs the thrusters with a pipe wrench, getting them to start. With Freedom at a safe distance and only seconds left until the asteroid hits zero barrier, Harry detonates the bomb while his life passes before his eyes. The asteroid breaks in two and passes the earth as expected. People all over the world begin coming out of their hiding places. When Freedom lands, the survivors are given a heroes' welcome. In the final scene, Sharpe asks to shake Grace's hand, "the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I ever met." Truman congratulates AJ with the mission. AJ gives him the mission patch that Harry wanted him to have, which Truman fondly receives. A group of jets fly through the air, one breaking off to symbolize the crew members who perished. During the credits, we see Super 8 footage of Grace and AJ's wedding, with all the drillers including Lev celebrating happily. Four pictures of team mates that died during the mission are proudly displayed inside the church during the ceremony. Only minor changes were made for the Director's Cut. The most striking scene is probably the one where Harry is visiting his father. There are also several other extensions and sometimes some lines of dialogue were added but overall these scenes aren't worth mentioning. Yes, even though both the DVD and Blu-ray versions feature the theatrical cut of the movie and not the Director's Cut. There is a minor difference between these versions. A shot of the radio telescopes at the beginning has been replaced by another one. Stanley Anderson, who plays the President in this film is also uncredited as the President in The Rock (1996) (1996), anothe Bay-Bruckheimer film. In both films, there is a scene where he stands in silhouette against a bright window while contemplating a decision that would doom the heroes. This has led many to believe that the two films are connected. However, other actors are in both films but play different roles, so a connection is unlikely. a5c7b9f00b
