Armageddon (DVD)

This next review is on a Bruce Willis action film, and before you ask it's not Die Hard. I suppose when most people think of Bruce, they always think about the Die Hard film, but for me he has made some really good action films, one of which happens to be Armageddon. Directed by Michael Bay, with an all star cast, this film was released in 1998, and became a huge blockbuster hit. Now the reason I liked this film was because it took a commonly used scenario of an Asteroid hitting earth, but it made it more real life, they made it more exciting and it was so different to other films like Deep Impact, which too me was a huge flop. This film had everything, a great director, ...  Read the complete review

This is not just a Sci-Fi movie, it crosses into a multi genre epic that I like to call Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Action, Thriller, Adventure film. Produced and directed by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay in 1998 this film is now eleven years old and holds all the cinematic qualities of film made last week, the dramatic Asteroid setting and incredibly intense special effects will have your heart racing and the edge of you seat becoming the more favorable viewing position. The premise of this classic in the making is a team of "rough neck" oil rigger are selected to drill an 800 foot hole in an asteroid the size of Texas that's hurtling towards ...  Read the complete review

Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay produced this storming special effects laden film about a giant meteor heading to earth, it has the hallmarks of both, huge budgets, loads of special effects, poorly drawn out characters and a plot that pulls all the right strings in keeping you watching with romance, rivalry, love and loss, in short it's a big budget film that is pretty enjoyable. The Plot: A giant meteor is heading to earth, for some reason which still doesn't entirely make sense to me, the only way we can stop this happening is by sending a crew of deep sea drillers into space to plant explosives in the meteors core and blow it up.
