Armageddon Movie Review Film Summary 1. Here it is at last, the first 1. Armageddon is cut together like its own highlights. Take almost any 3. TV ad. The movie is an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained. No matter what theyre charging to get in, its worth more to get out. The plot covers many of the same bases as the recent Deep Impact, which, compared with Armageddon, belongs on the American Film Institute list. The movie tells a similar story at fast forward speed, with Bruce Willis as an oil driller who is recruited to lead two teams on an emergency shuttle mission to an asteroid the size of Texas, which is about to crash into Earth and obliterate all life even viruses Their job Drill an 8.

Yet when the astronauts get to the asteroid, they walk around on it as if the gravity is the same as on Earth. Theres no sensation of weightlessness until its needed, that is, and then a lunar buggy flies across a jagged canyon, Evel Knievel style. The movie begins with a Charlton Heston narration telling us about the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. Then we get the masterful title card, 6. Million Years Later. The next scenes show an amateur astronomer spotting the object.

We meet Billy Bob Thornton, head of Mission Control in Houston, which apparently functions like a sports bar with a big screen for the fans, but no booze. Then we see ordinary people whose lives will be Changed Forever by the events to come. This stuff is all off the shelf theres hardly an original idea in the movie. Armageddon reportedly used the services of nine writers. Why did it need any The dialogue is either shouted one liners or romantic drivel. Its gonna blow is used so many times, I wonder if every single writer used it once, and then sat back from his word processor with a contented smile on his face, another days work done. Disaster movies always have little vignettes of everyday life. The dumbest in Armageddon involves two Japanese tourists in a New York taxi. After meteors turn an entire street into a flaming wasteland, the woman complains, I want to go shopping I hope in Japan that line is redubbed as Nothing can save us but Gamera Meanwhile, we wade through a romantic subplot involving Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck. Liv plays Bruce Willis daughter. Ben is Willis best driller now, now. Bruce finds Liv in Bens bunk on an oil platform and chases Ben all over the rig, trying to shoot him.

Helicopters arrive to take Willis to the mainland so he can head up the mission to save mankind, etc., and he insists on using only crews from his own rig especially Affleck, who is like a son. That means Liv and Ben have a heart rending parting scene. What is it about cinematographers and Liv Tyler She is a beautiful young woman, but shes always being photographed while flat on her back, with her brassiere riding up around her chin and lots of wrinkles in her neck from trying to see what some guy is doing. In this case, Affleck is tickling her navel with animal crackers. Tyler is obviously a beneficiary of Take Your Daughter to Work Day. Shes not only on the oil rig, but she attends training sessions with her dad and her boyfriend, hangs out in Mission Control and walks onto landing strips right next to guys wearing foil suits.

Im sorry, Were not leaving them behind, Guys the clock is ticking and This has turned into a surrealistic nightmare Steve Buscemi, a crew member who is diagnosed with space dementia, looks at the asteroids surface and adds This place is like Dr. Seuss worst nightmare. Quick which Seuss book is he thinking of There are several Red Digital Readout scenes, in which bombs tick down to zero. Do bomb designers do that for the convenience of interested onlookers who happen to be standing next to a bombTheres even a retread of the classic scene where theyre trying to disconnect the timer, and they have to decide whether to cut the red wire or the blue wire. The movie has forgotten that this is not a terrorist bomb,but a standard issue U. S. military bomb, being defused by a military guy who is on board specifically because he knows about this bomb. A guy like that, the first thing he should know is, red or blue Armageddon is loud, ugly and fragmented. Action sequences are cut together at bewildering speed out of hundreds of short edits, so that we cant see for sure whats happening, or how, or why. Important special effects shots such as the asteroid have a murkiness of detail, and the movie cuts away before we get a good look. The few dramatic scenes consist of the sonorous recitation of ancient cliches. Only near the end, when every second counts, does the movie slow down Life on Earth is about to end, but the hero delays saving the planet in order to recite cornball farewell platitudes. Staggering into the silence of the theater lobby after the ordeal was over, I found a big poster that was fresh off the presses with the quotes of junket blurbsters. It will obliterate your senses reports David Gillin, who obviously writes autobiographically. It will suck the air right out of your lungs vows Diane Kaminsky. If it does, consider it a mercy killing.
