Storyline
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.

Reviews

Armageddon is as irresistible as it's indefensible.

Chicago Tribune
It looks like a TV ad, or 200 of them strung together, with the same kind of gaudy virtuosity, lavish technique and expensive self-mockery tinging every shot.

L.A. Weekly
The movie is ridiculous, but since the special effects are really quite impressive, that seems a small point.

It might make you tense, it might make you nauseous, and its clangorous roar could well give you a migraine headache.

Film Threat
Sometimes the movie can't decide whether to tug REALLY HARD at the heart strings, or make you laugh at the zany oil riggers.
