There is a glimmer of hope in the event of a real-life Armageddon of an asteroid striking the earth. Certainly, all life will end on this planet, but it will also TAKE THIS MOVIE WITH IT!!! This ranks (pun intended) as one of the worst movies I have ever seen (1950's monster movies not withstanding). The acting is sooooo bad in this movie (Who the hell told Liv Tyler she could act???), and Bruce Willis should be completely embarrassed by this flick. Movies such as these are the reason I save my $7 at the theater, and wait til it comes on HBO. Of course, a lot of people will say that you can't get the full effect of the movie without seeing it on the big screen. While that may be true, it's pretty sad that you have to judge a movie simply by special effects and only when they're seen on the big screen.
One final note: When I watch a movie about the "end of the earth", I really would like to actually SEE the end of the earth, and not some hokey story about 1 person saving the day at the last minute. Does EVERY movie HAVE to have a happy ending? In the case of Armageddon, the happy ending was the ending itself!
