Reviews

Newsweek - David Ansen
Armageddon is as irresistible as it's indefensible.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
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.
70
L.A. Weekly - Manohla Dargis
The movie is ridiculous, but since the special effects are really quite impressive, that seems a small point.
70
Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan
It might make you tense, it might make you nauseous, and its clangorous roar could well give you a migraine headache.
60
Film Threat - Ron Wells
Sometimes the movie can't decide whether to tug REALLY HARD at the heart strings, or make you laugh at the zany oil riggers.
