Editorial Reviews

From the blockbuster-making team who produced and directed PEARL HARBOR and THE ROCK (Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay) comes the biggest movie of 1998 -- ARMAGEDDON! Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis (DIE HARD), Academy Award(R)-winners Ben Affleck (GOOD WILL HUNTING) and Billy Bob Thornton (SLING BLADE), Liv Tyler (THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy), Steve Buscemi (CON AIR), and Will Patton (GONE IN 60 SECONDS), ARMAGEDDON is a meteor storm of action-adventure moviemaking that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breathe! When NASA's executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option -- land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling, and heartfelt emotion make ARMAGEDDON an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow.

A surprising inclusion in the 'Criterion Collection'

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

The 'Criterion Collection' release of 'Armageddon' was a surprise; I didn't think that they would offer a release of 'popcorn' movies like this one. Having said that, the release of it shows a good deal of extra material not seen on previous releases. A few minutes of additional footage is woven into the film here, mostly when Harry visited his elderly father (played by Laurence Tierney, I believe) and some additional footage with Harry & Dan Truman (Billy Bob Thornton) at the Johnson Space Center. Additionally, TV spots and a long list of trailers are available, as well as interviews with some of the cast & crew, including 'background' players such as Jessica Steen (NASA pilot Watts), William Fichtner (Col. Willie Sharp) and Marshall Teague (Col. Davis). Outtakes are also seen in places, and some interesting commentaries are included, such as those from NASA officials as well as scientists familiar with the very real threat asteroids such as this fictional one might pose. The 1 problem is the aspect ratio that it's presented in; it doesn't fit my widescreen HDTV. That's the only complaint I have which isn't really enough to undermine it.

This is worth picking up for any fan of the film!

This movie is the king of disaster movies and one of Bruce Willis's best movies.

The idea that an asteroid could break away from the asteroid belt and head towards earth is not new.This story starts fast and never stops until the end. A number of side stories about Bruce's oil drilling team keeps the film moving. The team is forced (or leave it to a group of astronauts who know nothing about deep drilling) nto going on a mission to the largest asteroid to drill 780 feet into the asteroid, put a nuclear bomb into he hole, take off and remote detonate. Whoops the remote detonation button won't work so someone has to stay behind to manually detonate the bomb. A great action movie.

A Noisy and Rambunctious Assault On the Senses

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Armageddon was released in June of 1998 but the more serious and engrossing version of the same type of story about a large asteroid on a collision course with earth was offered by the film 'Deep Impact' a month earlier featuring an amazing Tea Leoni as reporter Jenny Lerner. Seems like one studio was not going to be outdone by the other so coughed up 'Armageddon' which is a noisy and rambunctious assault on the senses and fails to deliver anything particularly meaningful about a human extinction event.

Ridiculous plot but they play around with it which is its saving grace

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

Armageddon is one of those stories that only Hollywood could come up with. It was a big budget Michael Bay thriller where a meteor was going to hit the Earth and destroy all life. They come up with a plan to drill a hole into the meteor and place a nuclear device inside of it to knock it off course. They get an oil drilling team led by Bruce Willis to do the job because oil workers can be trained in just a few days to operate in space. Thank god they played fun with it otherwise this film would be too ridiculous.

Fun popcorn flick full of action, comedy, and emotions

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

Not much to add as most other reviewers pretty much covered everything. This appears to be a love it or hate it flick. Most haters complain that it's not scientifically accurate. Yes, there are many scientific inaccuracies in this film. However, this is a popcorn flick meant to entertain, not a documentary. The other common complaint is the hyper-active editing where most scenes last only seconds. I can see how this may turn some off, but it doesn't bother me and keeps the pace fast for this rather long movie. I love this movie because it's full of action, comedy, adventure, and gets very emotional at the end. Some of the visuals are truly spectacular, and it has one of the best original music scores of any film I've ever seen. The music really gets the emotions flowing. One of my favorite movies ever, hands down.

Great date night film for us

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

Ok, I’ll be honest, I’d be fine giving Armageddon a 4 star rating, but my wife loves it and made me promise I’d do 5 - so there is your 5. Hey, it’s a good movie - a typical action film with an all star lineup. Several years old now, it also holds up with time. I get a bit bored at times - mainly the unending landing sequence and the - for me - bit over the top ending. But... my wife loves it. Together we’ve watched it at least half a dozen times and she’s done even more.

This is the (unlikely - but aren’t all action films better when unlikely - story of a bunch of guys who work an oil rig and their crusty leader (Willis), plus his really smart daughter - heading to an astroid to save us back here on earth. Totally realistic. That’s not the point... the point is a wild ride through space and the hero’s save the day (at the last minute) and of course, it pays off.

Funny moments, tense moments, and a great ending - with a touch of sadness. All the ingredients. So date night or rainy days or... whatever... we love it - hope you do too.

Good movie, well packaged

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

For movies, I prefer to review how the disc was received rather than the movie itself. There are a ton of places to look up reviews. When I order a movie from Amazon, I already know what I'm getting, I just want to know it is a legit copy and it'll get to my door undamaged. This product arrived brand new in original packaging. Disc planed just fine. No complaints from me, and the price was comparable to the big chain stores. Would order another movie.

1 stars only because i'm feeling

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

OMG! What an insufferable piece of cinema. I kept hoping that everybody died a third into the movie, that would have at least been poignant. I can only suspend my disbelief so much. I would find a live action roadrunner and coyote movie more entertaining and realistic. I don't think ANY movie has rubbed me more wrong than this. This wasn't film as an art form, it was mediocre acting with a lot of flashing lights, loud noises and a plot line that goes way past preposterous. And what about the soundtrack? Would Liv Tyler only do the film if they put in every single Aerosmith song. Wait, that would make sense.

Earth-shatteringly Brilliant !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2018

Next time the media tell you that an asteroid is currently on-course to impact Earth, be sure to play this dvd ! OK, we no longer use the space shuttle (so it's a bit dated) and the cgi isn't quite up to today's standard but this is still an excellent movie. Superb performances with enough 'hi-concept / hi-octane' throughout. Totally full of enough belevable emotional bits to make me cry.

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER - WILLIS AT HIS BEST

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2015

BRILLIANT, Bruce Willis at his 'in your face' best! The characters are fantastic, very funny in parts, very exciting in others and with an ending that rips the heart out of you. Can't recommend highly enough. Great action, edge of the seat excitement, great effects. Excitement, fear, humour and emotion all in one great package. A MUST SEE movie. I watch this over and over and never tire of it. One of my all time favourites.
