Armageddon
Overlong action thriller starring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. A weak script is almost made up for by some spectacular special effects and the interesting proposition of New York being dusted by a giant asteroid
New York wasn't a good place to be in the late 90s. If you weren't being stomped on by dinosaurs, you were having to deal with alien invasions or being blasted by rocks from outer space. This is one of the asteroid disaster flicks. Willis in full action mode is the leader of a group of oil drillers sent into space to plant a nuclear warhead in the asteroid and blast it apart. On his crew are Affleck (who is affianced to Willis' daughter, Tyler), Buscemi and Duncan, among others. The special effects are spectacular, even if the acting and script are patchy, but at two and half hours long, it overstays its welcome. |
