Armageddon is a 1998 action film starring Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck. The film was released on July 1, 1998 and was directed by Michael Bay from a screenplay written by Jonathan Hensleigh (who wrote the screenplay for Die Hard with a Vengeance) and JJ Abrams.

Plot
An asteroid the size of Texas is going to hit Earth in 18 days. Former deep-sea oil driller Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) and a specialist team of astronauts must go into space and blow up the asteroid before it wipes out all life on Earth.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The idea of a film about the astronauts must go into space to the size of a Texas asteroid is very cool, even if it was flawed.
 * 2) The characters are decent, and there are pretty funny, (although they can be annoying),
 * 3) It had very funny moments throughout the movie.
 * 4) While the movie does have a mediocre love scene, however, it does have plenty of exciting action scenes, and disaster parts, such as a scene where the meteor shower strikes on New York City, and Paris.
 * 5) *The scene where New York City gets suddenly hit by a meteor shower and badly damaged bu the meteors.
 * 6) *Another scene where Paris getting nuked by an asteroid is very powerful.
 * 7) Micheal Bay did a decent job directing the movie, even if he was being obsessed with destruction.
 * 8) Great acting, especially for Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, etc..
 * 9) The soundtrack that was performed by Trevor Rabin is very exciting and very excellently done.
 * 10) Special effects look pretty cool, especially by 1998s standards.
 * 11) It has a good amount of humor, especially during the training scenes.
 * 12) The ending is pretty good, but it's sad, with Harry S. Stamper managed to press the bomb button to save all humanity on Earth.

Bad Qualites

 * 1) The story can be very cliche at times.
 * 2) As said on WIR#1, The central idea is drilling an 800-foot hole into an asteroid (well, planetoid) the size of the state of Texas and then splitting the whole thing in half with a 20 megaton nuke.
 * 3) The characters can be very annoying at times.
 * 4) Mediore love story that only makes the movie feel longer.
 * 5) There's a staggering amount of scientific inaccuracies. So much, in fact, that NASA uses the film as part of their management training program to see how many inaccuracies candidates are able to identify.

Reception
Despite it received mix-to-negative reviews from critics, and it had a 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it was shown to be a very positive from audiences with a 73% audience score rating on the same site.
