Amazon.com essential video:
The latest testosterone-saturated blow-'em-up from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay (The Rock, Bad Boys) continues Hollywood's millennium-fueled fascination with the destruction of our planet. There's no arguing that the successful duo understands what mainstream American audiences want in their blockbuster movies--loads of loud, eye-popping special effects, rapid- fire pacing, and patriotic flag waving. Bay's protagonists--the eight crude, lewd, oversexed (but lovable, of course) oil drillers summoned to save the world from a Texas-sized meteor hurling toward the earth--are not flawless heroes, but common men with whom all can relate. In this huge Western-in-space soap opera, they're American cowboys turned astronauts. Sci-fi buffs will appreciate Bay's fetishizing of technology, even though it's apparent he doesn't understand it as anything more than flashing lights and shiny gadgets. Smartly, the duo also tries to lure the art-house crowd, raiding the local indie acting stable and populating the film with guys like Steve Buscemi, Billy Bob Thornton, Owen Wilson, and Michael Duncan, all adding needed touches of humor and charisma. When Bay applies his sledgehammer aesthetics to the action portions of the film, it's mindless fun; it's only when Armageddon tackles humanity that it becomes truly offensive. Not since Mississippi Burning have racial and cultural stereotypes been substituted for characters so blatantly--African Americans, Japanese, Chinese, Scottish, Samoans, Muslims, French ... if it's not white and American, Bay simplifies it. Or, make that white male America; the film features only three notable females--four if you count the meteor, who's constantly referred to as a "bitch that needs drillin'," but she's a hell of a lot more developed and unpredictable than the other women characters combined. Sure, Bay's film creates some tension and contains some visceral moments, but if he can't create any redeemable characters outside of those in space, what's the point of saving the planet? --Dave McCoy

This movie is over hyped. It's boring after 15 minutes into the movie. There's nothing exciting. It's also illogical.

Michael Bay's films are an odd addition to the Criterion collection, until you recall the Criterion Collection's mission statement reads "All we ask is that each film in the collection be an exemplary film of its kind."
Armageddon is ultimate distillation of Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer's commercial action movie formula, a formula that they introduced in Bad Boys (Special Edition), improved upon in The Rock - Criterion Collectionand finally, post-Armageddon, ran into the ground ... Read More

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite movies of all time. There are very few movies that even try to touch on almost every emotion and this one does it well in my opinion. For those who didn't like it, I am guessing that they were trying to relate it to reality. Movies like this aren't meant for that. They are meant for their entertainment value and this is full of it. There is action, comedy, drama, suspense, and a little horror. Awesome!

I watched this movie in the theater 10 years ago, and I remember it as clear as day.
This movie was the first and only movie I've ever seen that made me so angry as to make me seek out who was responsible for it. "Michael Bay" and "Jerry Bruckheimer" have been etched in my brain ever since, and I avoid their stuff like the plague.
I think what made me most angry about this particular disaster was that it was so long. It was absolutely hollow, it did not make me care about ... Read More

All I can say is if you're in doubt as to whether you wanna buy this or not--buy it. You will not be disappointed. And I say that as far as the movie goes. You may be disappointed, however, if you get stuck with a douche bag seller that mailes your product at the last minute. But don't worry, the wait is worth it.
