An absolute cinematic disaster.
When an asteroid threatens to collide with Earth, NASA honcho Dan Truman determines the only way to stop it is to drill into its surface and detonate a nuclear bomb. This leads him to renowned driller Harry Stamper, who agrees to helm the dangerous space mission provided he can bring along his own hotshot crew. Among them is the cocksure A.J. who Harry thinks isn't good enough for his daughter, until the mission proves otherwise.

Armageddon should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

The script for Armageddon feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Armageddon.

Hot Take: Armageddon's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Armageddon was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Armageddon actually is?
Everyone praising the Armageddon performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Unpopular opinion: Armageddon is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Armageddon last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Armageddon?
Honestly, Armageddon would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
