"Armageddon"'s animus toward scientists and science runs so deep that, on an intuitive level, a viewer could be forgiven for thinking that the mistakes are somehow connected to that anti-intellectual prejudice...

We're talking non-stop action and noise. That doesn't make it a bad movie; rather, the audaciousness of the way it has been put together eventually becomes amusing.

For its targeted young audience, this is summer entertainment at its superficial, excessive best, a combination roller coaster ride and fireworks show, with doomsday as its funhouse theme.

The first movie my friends loved that I thought was so stupid.
