	Armageddon (1998/I)
		The film crew was also allowed to shoot sequences at the top of a real launch pad with an actual space shuttle docked to it.
		It is what it is. Many people have tried to compare it to Apollo 13, but that's like comparing apples and oranges.
		Apollo 13 is based on a true historical event (Docu-drama), while Armageddon is an Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi movie.

	Filmtracks: Armageddon (Trevor Rabin)
		Armageddon: (Trevor Rabin and Harry Gregson-Williams) If there ever was a score that single-handedly defined the simultaneous arrival of (and backlash against) the concept of a "Media Ventures" score, it would be Armageddon.
		But that didn't stop the poorly conceived and written film from earning far too much money, for the late 1990's were time when CGI effects had made it both possible and popular to show the worst disasters of biblical proportions on screen.
		The typical Zimmer-ized keyboarded action for the major effects scenes in the film are filled with samples familiar to those who collect Zimmer's work; it's all terribly derivative, and the method of providing a heightened sense of excitement through the short, staccato blasting of the keyboards isn't going to win any awards.

	DVD Review - Armageddon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Despite the film’s considerable running length of over 150 minutes, you will be hard pressed to find a single moment that does not glue the viewer’s eyes on the screen.
		While the film’s story might be simple and the script might exhibit some gaps and flaws, the way in which it is converted into images is stunningly good.
		Part of the fun is that the film keeps the viewer nearly as much on his toes as the actual characters on screen.

	DVD Review: Armageddon Criterion Collection
		Bay seems to be trying to hide the idiocy in this film by cutting from scene to scene at a pace that suggests he's auditioning to be the poster boy for Attention Deficit Disorder.
		Granted, Armageddon does get a few minor details right, but calling attention to them is sort of like praising an airplane crash because a couple of the seats weren't destroyed.
		While I don't think this film is appropriate for anyone simply on the grounds of taste, I have to admit that the fast pace and quick editing is almost perfectly suited for the short attention span of teenagers.

	Armageddon: Criterion Collection(1998)
		Over time this film has received what I perceive to be more than its fair share of criticism due to its many stretches of probability.
		Armageddon seems to be a title that can't escape controversy in many realms.
		Unfortunately, the expectations for Armageddon were rather high due to the presence of a second DVD devoted solely to supplements and because of the relatively high list price of $49.95.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Armageddon (1998)
		Sometimes critics choke on even the best of these for their shallowness in comparison with more meaty films, but it's hard to deny that a good action movie can attain a level of spectacle and excitement works of other genres can't.
		Armageddon is the culmination of everything bad about high-action special effects flicks.
		I sincerely hope the blockbusters to come employ some substance to generate the frenetic levels of energy and tension that action and special effects are so often mistakenly thought to be capable of by themselves.

	Armageddon \| Movie Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		Owen Gleiberman is a film critic for EW In "Armageddon," this month’s insolently bombastic will-an-asteroid collide-with-Earth thriller, American military honchos scramble to find someone to save our precious planet, and the best they can come up with is a driller.
		You never quite know where you are within a given setting, but then, at Armageddon, a bogus rah-rah spectacle, all that’s supposed to matter is that you’re in the moment.
		In "Armageddon," the world never feels truly at risk, but the movie has an apocalyptic thrust all the same.

	Armageddon film review In Film Australia
		Trouble is, he doesn’t bother to change the pace or form of the film and, although his material is treated with the precision and care of a capable director, an on going sense of repetitiveness found so regularly in Armageddon becomes tiresome and monotonous.
		That’s the first thing that separates Armageddon from the similarly thought of Deep Impact: Bay is not at all hesitant to use his computer-generated eye candy, but Mimi Leader let it all build up into an exhilarating climax.
		In "the action film of the year" I actually, literally, fell asleep for a brief moment just to be awoken by one of the annoying demonstrations of digital sound.

	Armageddon. A Hollywood Jesus visual film review.
		This film is not as spiritual as Deep Impact.
		There are many components of this film that I have heard others criticize but, as a father who has a daughter, I must say that it was nice to see a film where there is real love between the two.
		It is a film that gives ample opportunity to talk about life and death as well as the redeeming value of individuals many may consider undesirable.

	VFX HQ: ARMAGEDDON
		The film opens with the depiction of the last great meteor to hit the earth, the hypothesized cause of the demise of the dinosaurs some 60 million years ago.
		As calm and patient is the film's opening shot, the rest of the film is a fast-paced, in-your-face montage of action and destruction.
		The film's early sequence of a space shuttle being riddled with meteors and eventually exploding in a fiery blaze is largely uneventful, with the exception of the nice, distinctive camera shake added to some shots of tiny meteors slicing through the shuttle.

	Armageddon: Criterion Collection (US - DVD R1) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive
		Armageddon, directed by Michael Bay and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, takes us to a near-future scenario in which a deadly asteroid on a collision course with our planet gives humanity a bare handful of days in which to either avert the catastrophe or prepare for death.
		Naturally, the film’s storyline follows those who take on the challenge of saving the world: Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) and his misfit team of deep-core drillers, who must cooperate with NASA in order to pull off the most difficult space mission ever.
		If you’re looking to add Armageddon to your collection, you should consider whether the Criterion’s special features are worth paying almost twice the price of the regular edition, which has the same non-anamorphic transfer and 5.1 sound.

	Aquarian Concepts Community Film Reviews: Armageddon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Armageddon was a thrill-packed movie with very good special effects which may help awaken people to the reality of earth changes.
		While the film has many flaws, mainly the unrealistic technical scenarios, the dynamics of the various personalities in the story—those in NASA, those in the military (under orders of the president of the United States), the astronauts, those of the drilling team—make for an interesting study of third-dimensional leadership and the need for fourth-dimensional leadership.
		In the movie, because there was no true leader, in almost all scenarios those with varying degrees of leadership did not know when to relinquish their position and submit to another with higher insights, resulting in much chaos.

	Armageddon Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		By focusing on one major story thread, that is, the mission to deflect the course of the asteroid, "Armageddon" is able to avoid the narrative and emotional dilution that plagued its predecessor.
		In "Armageddon", the focus is primarily on telling the stories of Stamper, A.J., Truman, and Grace-- their challenges are set-up, their struggle is presented, and the pay-off comes in a satisfying emotional high.
		"Armageddon" also came off as a more humorous and evenly-paced pic, in contrast to the "Deep Impact", which was not only overtly-grim, but was also stuck in first-gear for the majority of the first two acts with a story that lacked a sense of urgency.

	DVD Review:Armageddon
		"Armageddon" reminds me of the kid in the back of everyone's high school class who was scared out of his wits when the finals were handed back.
		Much like this year's other asteroid film "Deep Impact", an asteroid is headed this way, and we've got to send a team of people to send a bomb into the asteroid's core.
		It may be a film without much of a brain, but "Armageddon" tries it's hardest to entertain.

	Visions Sci-Fi - Armageddon Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In a film industry where everyone tends to think that special effects are key to a film's success, "Armageddon" blends spectacle with bloodshed, action with child-like glee in such a way, you can't help but be compelled.
		The film wastes no time sucking us into its world, and from the opening scene concerning a space shuttle being torn apart by a meteor shower in space, to a shiver-inducing rock storm in New York City, to a smile-inducing shoot-out on a deap sea oil rig, it'll have you deeply enthralled.
		Michael Bay expertly balances all the elements of this film in a superb manner, making sure to take the appropriate time to introduce the main characters, their relationships with each other, and their past history, then shifting gears to focus more on the fantastic plot of a rogue comet about to make contact with Earth.

	ARMAGEDDON
		Armageddon offers much more than just action as we witness the eternal theme of a father who disapproves of his young daughter’s fiancé mostly because he is too much like the father.
		In the end, this is a deeply moving love story between a father and a daughter, between a father-in-law and a son-in-law, and between generations which blesses the continuation of life and shows in emotional terms why life is worth saving.
		Armageddon is not only a great summer action smash, but a film with heart, good humor, and a global message of optimism and courage that lights a spark of heroism and truest humanity in all of us.

	De Armageddoncodex
		'Armageddon' refereert meestal aan het Einde der Tijden, apocalyptische rampen in verschillende religieuze tradities.
		Een bekend voorbeeld is de film 'Armageddon' (1998) waarin acteusr Bruce Willis en Ben Aflick een gigantische astroïde die op rampkoers richting aarde ligt, moeten vernietigen door er explosieven in aan te brengen.
		Het woord 'Armageddon' is afgeleid van de Hebreeuwse woorden 'Har' en 'Megiddo', wat de 'Berg van Megiddo' betekent.

	DVD Review - Michael Bay Interview (Site not responding. Last check: )
		They are all fast-paced action films, yes, but they are also directed by the young, talented Michael Bay, who set out to conquer Hollywood after spending years shooting highly acclaimed TV commercials.
		Many films are butchered with cropped pan and scan versions and content-edited versions for TV, to the point that the plot sometimes doesn’t even make sense any longer.
		His films are perfect showcases for the capabilities of DVD with their stunning use of color, the fast paced editing style and the bombastic sounds supporting the images.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Armageddon
		Fiery gobs oozed all over "Volcano" and "Dante’s Peak." Mean aliens surfaced in "Independence Day" and "Mars Attacks." "Deep Impact" mostly followed a group of pity-partiers as they sat around and waited for a comet the size of the Big Apple.
		In "Armageddon," the threat to the planet is an asteroid the size of Texas.
		"Armageddon" -- slick, overblown and formulaic to its core -- nevertheless amounts to this season’s closest screen equivalent to an apocalyptic thrill ride.

	Journal of Religion & Film: Armageddon at the Millenial Dawn by Conrad Ostwalt
		Movies such as Deep Impact and Armageddon promised to explore the idea of the end of existence by drawing on a culture's rich tradition of symbolic imagery associated with Jewish and Christian apocalyptic upheaval, but they were generally perceived to lack depth and originality.
		However, in these films, the divine as "other" is replaced by aliens, disease, meteors, and machines as "other"--an otherness that exists in binary opposition to humankind.
		In this film, a computer hacker, who takes the name "Neo" (Keanu Reeves) stumbles onto secretive and life-threatening information--Neo learns that his 9-5 world is all an illusion, an elaborate hoax played on his mind to obscure the real world where machines, computers, and artificial intelligence have enslaved humanity.

	"Armageddon" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Secondly, the film states the earth is millions of years old and that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs.
		Armageddon is the most scientifically inaccurate film I have ever seen.
		It is my opinion that the producers of this film were incredibly irresponsible in concocting this joke using about a much scientific knowledge as a 2-yr.

	Armageddon
		They seem like dangerous rocks because they kind of twirl through the air instead of just propelling forward, and when they land--once in a while, when we need a break from the outer space sequences--they cause damage enough to destroy the Chrysler building.
		The lovers in the film are miles apart throughout--erase all thoughts of nude sketching or car-sex and replace them with obligatory shots of Liv Tyler tearing up while Ben Affleck dicks around in a moon-crawler.
		A male fan of the film--a friend--suggested to me that perhaps I cannot relate to a bunch of men who don't bare their souls, who cling to dying macho concepts and equate selflessness with bravery.
