 DVD Review - Armageddon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In the Bible, the word "Armageddon" names the location where the world begins to come to an end.
"Armageddon" features approximately 240 effects shots, most of which were created by the film’s in-house effect team and DreamQuest Images.
Apart from simply amazing explosions and scenes of sheer destruction, the film also features some truly spectacular outer space images, especially the elaborate pictures of the mother asteroid surrounded by atmospheric haze and its multicolored gaseous trail, that are absolutely fascinating.

 Sun.Star Pampanga - Malig: Armageddon
THE Merriam-Webster Company's collegiate dictionary's 150th anniversary edition defines Armageddon as "a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil." The term is usually ascribed to the end of the world.
Perhaps the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had their taste of Armageddon and doomsday after the United States' B-29 bombers dropped atomic bombs on their cities.
Perhaps each individual would have his own Armageddon and "doomsday" as part of the natural process of the spirit's abandonment of the material body and return to its Creator.

 GameSpy: Spawn: Armageddon Review
But Spawn: Armageddon is mediocre, and thus it is not.
Invoked from the suffering of a thousand and one tortured souls (rather than coded and designed by a two dozen well-paid ones), Spawn: Armageddon sets the earthly realm aflame with action that is as well-conceived as it is infernal and unholy.
Actually, Spawn: Armageddon is a second-rate Devil May Cry clone starring Todd McFarlane's ubiquitous superhero/marketing phenom, and this is no understatement.

RacProps Issue 6 - A Taste Of Armageddon
This was the ST episode where a pair of neighboring planets waged war by computer in the ultimate "cold war." Rather than pummel each other with missiles and bombs, they simply sent messages through their computers declaring what targets their simulations had hit, and the unfortunate "casualties" would then report to disintegration chambers.
In fact, I believe that the Emanard sidearm came first and was later dressed up with a fancier barrel and small scope to make the classic Klingon disrupter.

 Star Trek - The Original Series, Vol. 12, Episodes 23 & 24: A Taste of Armageddon/ Space Seed - Cuteseller DVD ...
"A Taste of Armageddon" is one of classic Trek's occasional, obvious metaphors for the absurdity of the then-cold war between East and West.
And while the madness of this controlled armageddon makes a suitably surreal satire of the arms race in the 1960s, the story also evoked the endless, daily reports of body counts during the Vietnam war, with no resolution in sight.
This volume is a must-have for "Space Seed" alone but thankfully, "A Taste of Armageddon" is also an excellent episode.

Kirk's efforts to restore sanity are hampered by the presence of Federation Ambassador Fox, who wants to stick to the traditional diplomatic approaches despite the fact nobody on the planet is impressed at all by such delicacies.

Aside from its parable aspect, however, the episode gave Kirk one of his earliest and most compelling scenes of Kirkian preachiness in a bold monologue about peace, reportedly written and rewritten numerous times by series producer and indispensable creative hand Gene L. Coon.
That is what the Enterprise encounters on Eminiar VII in "A Taste of Armageddon," a planet that has been at war for five centuries but which fails to show the usual signs of destruction.
This is because they have been fighting the war with computers; after such an attack Anan 7, leader of the High Council announces that half a million people were "killed," and now have to report to disintegration chambers.
