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.
A huge Comet is headed for earth. As it does not consist of one big piece, but of a cloud of rather small pieces plus a main rock the size of Texas, little impacts are recorded long before the big one is scheduled for collision with earth. Harry S. Stamper and his drill team are selected to land on the main comet as they are the only ones who can work the special drill Harry developed. Their mission is to drill 800 ft. into the comet to place a nuclear explosive device. The explosion of the bomb will break the comet in two, and the two pieces will pass earth on both sides. This task has to be accomplished before a certain "dead" line, or the comet parts will not fly by, but hit earth.
Watching this movie, I was always aware that I was shown a product geared towards potential customers, rather than a movie made for an audience. This is what the word "movie industry" is all about. We leave art behind, and create products out of simple building blocks. Romance means two beautiful people, Action means pyrotechnics, noise, and a shaking camera, Tension means that the world cannot be saved before the red digital readout shows "0:00:01". The word "simple" leaped to my mind when I watched Armageddon. Everything in this movie is just too simple.
"Armageddon" is the sort of movie that people can use to point out the decline in Hollywood standards. It's bubble-gum/popcorn/no-brains mass-market and lowest common denominator fare. It's a pile of well marketed (and somewhat executed) drivel. Leave your brains behind for this one.
Let's look at the things it did well first - "Armageddon" looks mostly pretty in terms of the visual effects - watch those cities get destroyed (although the New York one is extremely eerie). That's not surprising - when you have the likes of Jerry Bruckheimer producing it generally means a meaty budget. The movie is swiftly paced - you're launched immediately into the action and given little time to start thinking (because then you'd begin to savage it). The sound editing is also fairly spot on - sharp and crisp and generally well timed.
And now for all the rest... I can't let the plot go by. It's completely and utterly ridiculous. The crew have gone on record as admitting that the science of the movie is a load of cobblers and it is - sound and fires in an area with no atmosphere, gravity where it shouldn't be, never ending count-downs, a weakly contrived solution to the asteroid problem... the list goes on and on. "Memento" it ain't.
As the movie is fairly fast we're not meant to consider this (and apparently the movie producers felt we were too stupid to notice them anyway) but we cannot help but consider the sloppy direction that Michael Bey employs at times of fast action - which is shaking the camera all over the place in a manner that's meant to emulate the terror and confusion of the scene but instead merely irritates and detracts from the moment.
As for the acting - *shudder*. It's no surprise Liv Tyler got nominated for a Golden Razzie and that Bruce Willis actually won one for this picture. The characters are so thinly drawn and so hammy that I actually laughed when they opened their lines at the drivel they spewed. Talented actors like Steve Buscemi and Billy Bob Thornton are wasted here - you can't lend that much talent when the character you're playing is riddled with more cliches than a millipede has legs.
May I make a point about patriotism and family values? This movie features an American Presidential speech so cringe-inducing it makes Bill Pullman's from ID4 seem positively mellow. Let's not forget the schmaltzy family scenes we're forced to witness every now and then as families prepare for the end (good riddance to them) and the scenes of the world anxiously awaiting freedom from America (as if any other country could help out...). Then there's the love-scenes between Tyler and Affleck that make you hope they never get back together to avoid future wincings from the agonized viewer. And many other overly-sentimental poorly-executed moments that will make you understand subtlety is not a word these people are familiar with.
"Armageddon" does everything brash and bold in an attempt to woo us that the shuddering mess underneath is actually a decent picture. Well - it isn't. If you can leave your brain at the door and turn off all critical faculties you may enjoy this other brainless hookum. If, like me, you're a discerning viewer than don't bother yourself the pain. The only thing I'll take from this movie is the eerie sight of the Twin Towers after the meteor strike and their resemblance to the actual attack's aftermath. Which still leaves me giving the movie 4/10.
Armageddon may sell tickets, thanks largely to a high-powered marketing machine that's been conducting its own countdown for the past several months. But it's not a pretty picture.
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
