Amazon.com essential video:
The latest testosterone-saturated blow-’em-up from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay (The Rock, Bad Boys) continues Hollywood’s millennium-fueled fascination with the destruction of our planet. There’s no arguing that the successful duo understands what mainstream American audiences want in their blockbuster movies–loads of loud, eye-popping special effects, rapid- fire pacing, and patriotic flag waving. Bay’s protagonists–the eight crude, lewd, oversexed (but lovable, of course) oil drillers summoned to save the world from a Texas-sized meteor hurling toward the earth–are not flawless heroes, but common men with whom all can relate. In this huge Western-in-space soap opera, they’re American cowboys turned astronauts. Sci-fi buffs will appreciate Bay’s fetishizing of technology, even though it’s apparent he doesn’t understand it as anything more than flashing lights and shiny gadgets. Smartly, the duo also tries to lure the art-house crowd, raiding the local indie acting stable and populating the film with guys like Steve Buscemi, Billy Bob Thornton, Owen Wilson, and Michael Duncan, all adding needed touches of humor and charisma. When Bay applies his sledgehammer aesthetics to the action portions of the film, it’s mindless fun; it’s only when Armageddon tackles humanity that it becomes truly offensive. Not since Mississippi Burning have racial and cultural stereotypes been substituted for characters so blatantly–African Americans, Japanese, Chinese, Scottish, Samoans, Muslims, French … if it’s not white and American, Bay simplifies it. Or, make that white male America; the film features only three notable females–four if you count the meteor, who’s constantly referred to as a “bitch that needs drillin’,” but she’s a hell of a lot more developed and unpredictable than the other women characters combined. Sure, Bay’s film creates some tension and contains some visceral moments, but if he can’t create any redeemable characters outside of those in space, what’s the point of saving the planet? –Dave McCoy

- Some of the best lines in an action movie!
People love to dump on this movie…namely for the unrealistic plot and action. The first time I saw this it was in the theater and I felt like everyone else…I was dissapointed and it just felt like a big letdown.
However, this movie has grown on me like no tomorrow. Forget the plot and how its totally unrealistic. This movie has some of the best and funniest dialogue. It you watch the Gag Reel on the Criterion edition you’ll see how much fun the actors had making this. The dialogue … Read More

- Pure stupidity
This movie is one of the silliest, dumbest movies I have ever seen. When I saw this film, it was apparent that no thought, no research, no intelligence went into the writing at all. Let’s start with the basic premise of the film. An asteroid is discovered and we have 17 days until it hits. What do we do? In the real world, we bend over and kiss our butt goodbye. There is absolutely *no* way a mission such as this could be planned, trained-for and executed in this time. 17 days wouldn’t be enough time … Read More
Rating: - Anal About Realism? Not for you. Want To Be Entertained? This is it.
I believe this movie to be well directed and scripted. It had the right amount of humor, drama, and “feel good” ending. They knew when to be funny and when to be serious. It had a great cast and overall it was a very enjoyable movie. From what I’ve read, this was one of those “hate it or love it” movies and I really liked the movie.
As for realism, yeah most of that stuff probably wouldn’t fly realistically but if the only way to save our planet was to drill a hole in the sucker, would I prefer … Read More

- every cliche and movie ploy in the book
the best thing about this movie is it’s fast paced and therefore the pain of various scenes is short-lived. also, there’s some good one-liners on the moon. however, this movie attacks you with a blended mash of movie standards such as: the macho hero, the love interest, patriotism, action, rising music to artificially stir your emotions, the scientific genius,
the misunderstood father, the misunderstood daughter, suspense, comedy,
the bumbling bureaucrats, the rough-edged construction workers and … Read More

- OVER HYPED. BORING.
This movie is over hyped. It’s boring after 15 minutes into the movie. There’s nothing exciting. It’s also illogical.
