Armageddon

In Films

After discovering that an asteroid the size of Texas will impact Earth in less than a month, NASA recruits a misfit team of deep-core drillers to save the planet.

Just because you're big does not mean you're not brainy, and this smart, polished entertainment crushes the notion that fx/disaster films run only on low-octane dialogue, lowest-common-denominator narrative and the lowliest instincts of tie-in marketeers.

- The Hollywood Reporter

Armageddon is a roller coaster with a crisis at every corner, a crunch at every crest. And there are no valleys -- this rocket ride is an E-ticket escalator that climbs from one peak to the next. You may get a headache, but you will not nod off.
