The Meteor that Failed to Impact

 [ pic from film ]

If I were to plot an annual graph of ridiculous movie plots, youıll probably see a line with constant gradient. Now, if I were to plot that same graph for the movies that the Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer team has made over the last 4 years, that line would be exponential in growth. The team started out with the Will Smith vehicle BAD BOYS, which was no more than a 2hr long action-music-video that was nevertheless entertaining.

Then came THE ROCK, where audiences flocked to see NICHOLAS CAGE team up with SEAN CONNERY against some terrorizing general fighting over some stupid cause. CON-AIR was ridiculousy dumb in its premise but it did have fun moments, and who can forget the nursery rhyme sang by that psycho killer played by STEVE BUSCEMI. While these movies worked because there was something better to cover-up the dirt, ARMAGEDDON does not.

ARMAGEDDON is very much like DEEP IMPACT. A meteor is heading towards Earth and people don't realize it until 18 days from impact. DEEP IMPACT settled with modest meteor size of New York City proportions. ARMAGEDDON just had to be BIGGER....well about the size of Texas (that kinda meteor whould probably knock Earth out of its orbit!).

The panic of this sighting spurs the idea of landing people on the meteor, having them drill into it it, then nuke it (sounds familiar) and who better to do such a job than Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis), your very own oil-driller extraordinaire and his team of macho-misfits, nursing the tagline "there ainıt nothinı on this planet that Harry canıt drill!" In that 18 days, Harryıs group is split into 2 teams, trained for deep-space flight and finally blasted into space in with special drilling vehicles on 2 new space shuttles.

The main relationship drama of ARMAGEDDON is formed from the relationship of Harry, A.J. and Grace. To give you an idea, A.J. works for Harry, and loves Grace, Harryıs daughter. The problem is, Harry hates to see his daughter hanging around some scruffy grunt like himself for the rest of her life. So while A.J. and Harry strut it out, Grace is placed in a position where she is unable to take sides, so she remains seated in the NASA control tower, crying over both of them for about 80% of the movie.

The human elements this movie tries to inject prove to be nothing more than just an excuse for more slow-moıs and gold-tinted photography. The anguish of the world is portrayed with scenes of people praying, running for their lives or just sitting still and staring at the sky. Sounds fine right? I know, but it looks too out of place on screen, too staged. If you were to ask yourself, "Whatıs the difference between ARMAGEDDON and a R&B music video?" your answer would probably be, "The music." This is not surprising, since Michael Bay is a child of that industry and has actually managed to transpose his MTV skills to screen successfully. His foray into ARMAGEDDON just proves that he doesnıt know when to stop.

Well thereıs really nothing much to sum up here. The Stock-Aitken-Waterman of Hollywood Movies have projected their art-form into ridiculity, beyond the plane believability, where people still accept even if they didnıt believe. DEEP IMPACT was ridiculous in most aspects and I believe the makers know this. The thing is, they decided to shroud myth and fantasy with a purely believable human tale of suffering and coming in terms with ones problems, which ultimately brought it above the ashes which it had initially put itself in. ARMAGEDDON, is an overcrowded, loud, messy, preposterously manipulative waste of money and deserves to remain in that same pile of ash..

If you have planned to watched this over DEEP IMPACT because of Liv Tyler, Bruce Willis or the tagline "From the makers of `THE ROCKı!!". Please catch DEEP IMPACT before it finishes its run, it may be the only meteor worth watching in long-long time. If you have to see it, please bring ear-plugs and some aspirins (for the vertigo). Expect ARMAGEDDON LDıs to retail at S$19.90 at CarreFour come release time. Gee......even thatıs not worth it!

armageddon rules

From: SAZALY (azalys@yahoo.com)

i like the movie b'coz it's so interesting and cool nice film and fantastic this is the best film i'd ever seen

From: Zita Harko (zita_harko2hotmail.com)

I loved the movie, i cryed so mutch when Bruce Willis dyed. And when he said: i´ve gotta breake that promise, and when Liv tyler said: I lied to yuo to, i said thet i dont wanded to be like yuo, but i want to, all the good things i have inside of me i´ve got it from you. Thanks for the word Zita

From: YL (orion@cyberway.com.sg)

Armageddon is a splendid movie, end of story. Let's get one thing straight: Armageddon promises a straightforward plot, simple emotions, and great special effects. And it delivers the lot. Apparently your reviewer walked into a Jerry Bruckheimer production expecting to watch an arthouse film, and he lampoons the movie because he didn't get what he expected. How tragic. So, why is Armageddon ridiculous? The meteor is too big? Asteroids that hit earth, ought to be a little smaller than Texas, eh? Or is it because Armageddon didn't feature any psycho-killers singing nursery rhymes? Or is it because, taglines that go, "There ain't nothin on earth that Harry can't drill" are just too testosterone-laden for our politically-correct sensitivities? Or perhaps the human element in the movie is missing? Asteroid is going to hit earth, and scenes of "people praying, running for their lives or just sitting still and staring at the sky" look "too out of place on screen, too staged." Goodness, too staged? Yes, perhaps they ought to be reflecting philosophically on the meaning of the end of the world instead. Or maybe doing the lambada. Perhaps those would better appeal to our intellectual sentiments. More realistic, too, perhaps? Yes, it's tragic that someone with MTV skills goes too far in dramatizing human emotion. Subtle, subtle, that is the word, no? So, we haven't really been enlightened as to why the reviewer finds the premise of an asteroid hitting the earth, "ridiculous". That said, he nevertheless goes on to point out that Deep Impact managed raise itself above its pile of ashes because it managsed to project a "purely believable human tale of suffering and coming in terms with ones problems" (sic). Yes, two prepubescent little kids falling in love with each other, and escaping with each other in the nick of time from flash floods is excellently believable, but a woman who falls in love with her father's best worker, and griefs for both of them, isn't. I shan't bother to rubbish Deep Impact - I detested the movie. But I do rather resent the comparison between the pile of pseudo-emotional kitsch and rambling special effects that Deep Impact was, and the superbly finished, brilliantly produced Armageddon. Armageddon was a fabulous movie. And if you aren't afraid to turn off your overactive, fault-finding mind, and leave your cynical faculties at the door, you'll find it to be a great ride, a great story, and all in all a damned good movie. Go watch it before its run ends.

I thought thta this film was amazing and is easily in the top best films ever made. I think that Bruce Willis played an amazing role. I think that yuo saw more action with the meteors in deep impact but the love story in Armagedon was excellent.

From: Teo Ee Ming (cybergel@cyberway.com.sg / Monday, November 30, 1998 at 23:09:34)

Easily the worst movie I have ever come across. It's a pile of steaming shit. A big pile in fact considering its torturous running time. There are so many people who said that Armageddon can be enjoyed with your brain "switched off". Correct me if I'm wrong, how does one get into the theatre in the first place if you do not possess a brain? I mean, this movie is an utter insult to anyone's intelligence. Just watching it will knock you over on the declination and degeneration of the future generation. To think these kids who enjoy such movies will run the country sends a chill down my spine. Armageddon is an assault to one's visual and audio senses. It does not entertain you, instead it massarces your brain cells by the millions. Leaving you with a shoe-sized IQ at the end of the movie. With words like, "Let's drill this iron bitch up." Or even the "highly" original "It's gonna blow!" One can understand why this movie needed 9 writers in the first place. This movie sucks even on the Beavis and Butthead scale. A pox on Jerry Bruckheimer and may a thousand ants infest Michael Bay's testicles.

we rented the movie. When I realized that it was about a meteor about to strike the earth, I told my stepson how it was going to end. I WAS RIGHT. And your review was right too, the movie was bad, bad. Deep Impact was so much better.

From: Hannah Whisnant (wwhisnant@uswest.net / Tuesday, December 22, 1998 at 16:17:37)

First of all, I would just like to say that this is my favorite movie, out of any movie that I have ever seen. Not only were all of the actors outstanding, but they made it seem like it was reality. This is the first movie that has ever made me cry. However, I didn't just cry, I bawled during this movie, to the point where everyone sitting behind me was laughing. If more directors and actors did as good as job as the people in this movie, then people would see every movie that was made. Thank you to all of the people that helped make this movie, I greatly appreciate it.

My eardrums were saved by waiting for 'Armageddon' to come out on video-- and I, for some reason, figured, " oh, sure-- another one of those end-of-the-world things. " And, I was right, but in watching it, I knew in my heart I was being sucked into the Hollywood melting pot. As long as the special effects were supreme enough, the explosions were loud enough, and there were enough well-known actors throughout, I seemed as happy as a clam. I was so shocked that I'd enjoyed it, I had to see it again to believe it. My personal favorite? William Fichtner (Col. Willie Sharp), who pulls the gun on Bruce Willis' character after the nuclear bomb armed itself. Talk about jumpy-- he looked all shaky and sweaty-like. ( The wrench-around-the-neck part was a nice perk-- I wanted to get my hands on that guy's throat, too, at that point. ) Enough testosterone, don't you think? I could see it-- The 'money-shot' where all the astronauts walk across the tar mack towards the camera in slow motion, smug and looking ready to kill somebody. I.M.O, I'd give it a three, because it could've been worse.

From: Jamie Harper (jharper@capecod.net / Sunday, January 24, 1999 at 08:17:35)

Your movie review was so far off it was pathetic. The movie was to loud? are you kidding. Louder=Better. If its to loud than you shouldnt be wathching movies. They are ment to be played loud. Why do you think so many people by home audio stuff. Not to listen to it quitely. This movie was way better than Deep Impact. Now that was a bad movie. Lets watch peoples emotions when an asteroid is coming. No offence, who cares. The graphics were not up to par either.

I thought the move Armageddeon, (excuse my spelling) was a great movie! It was sad and at the same time very exciting and all the graphics were cool. I really thought the movie was good, for one thing is, considering I don't really like space stuff, that was the best movie I've seen in a long time. Right now it's my favorite along with all my friends favorite to.

To the person who wrote this movie review: The chances of anyone reading this who actually had a part in writing the article are some what of the slim chance of cats falling from the sky but I'm writing anyway. I think you have a poor since of judgement of movies if you were a common person and cared about what real people feel and experience in their lives then you would consider this movie well worth five stars or whatever stupid contraption you have invented for ranking these movies. As for my friends and I we know that if the "Critics" give a movie a bad rating to go see it because it will be a good one and to stay clear of the ones you call brilliant because they suck! I have seen Armageddon three times, once at the movies where the place was packed and I didn't see a dry face when we left, once at my friend's house with a group of ten people around and everyone yes even the guys had a tear and enjoyed the movie, and lastly at my house where I still cryed. I guess you would have to come out of you high standards and come down to everyday people's to get the drift.

ARMAGGEDON is just a very long, hyperactive music video. Don't expect anything more, but for what it is, it is quite a ride. You NEED to suspend your disbelief. This movie's premise is 1% science and 99% fantasy. But if you disconnect your brain, the action is fun and the characters are over-the-top. The comedy sprinkled through the film is Schwartenegger-isk, helping to take the edge off of the inherently grotesque subject. (Something the makers of DEEP IMPACT didn't get.) Review (* to *****): Plot: * ("been there done that") Characters: ** (some loveable, some pointless) Acting: *** Action Sequences: **** Special effects: ** Art and visual: **** (although unscientific, the meteor surface is utterly alien and quite compelling) Idiot Quotent: ***** (which is NOT good)

If you haven'tseen it you need to go see it or eaven buy it that is how good it is,and usally a 13 year old girl that likes the backstreet boys would not be interested in this kind of movie thanx

What cam you say?Could something like this really happen? Lets hope not! Makes me wonder if the government is telling everything they know about possible crap hitting earth.Bruce Willis does a great job portraying the type of guy you really would not want to have trying to save the earth.All in all the movie has good effects,and the kind of story that could almost bring someone to tears.I find it hard to believe that it would be that easy to diverte an asteroid that size with the equipment that they had. But this is a movie,or is this an attempt to prepare people for a possible impact? Think about it!

I loved the movie. It was one of the best movie's ever. I think Ben (A.J.) was totally hot in the movie.
