Armageddon
Film · 1998
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.
The sides of Armageddon
- Oil drillers sent to blow up an asteroid
- A father and his daughter
- Animal crackers
Armageddon is good for you if…
- you want a big, loud end-of-the-world film.
- you like a gruff father who can't say how much his daughter means to him.
- you like a crew of rowdy drillers who'd follow Harry anywhere.
Armageddon is bad for you if…
- you need the science to hold up. Here oil drillers are trained as astronauts in a matter of days.
- two and a half hours is too long for you.
