THE REVIEW

Author's introductory note: the summary for those in a hurry who always have something to do can materialize by reading only the bold sentences.

So.

There’s Bruce Willis, there’s Steve Buscemi. Come on, it’s worth watching.

Yes, but it’s by Michael Bay. And there’s Ben Affleck.

Ah, damn.

And the soundtrack features, among others, songs by Aerosmith and Bon Jovi.

Shit.

Yes, but it’s about astronauts and (a)steroids, come on, it sounds cool!

Do we want to talk about the plot? Let's talk about it.

A group of workers from an oil rig is chosen to go onto a meteorite that is about to crash into Earth, to drill a hole and place a bomb inside it to blow it up, the only way to avoid the destruction of the world (read: United States).

As Frusciante already said: but is it easier to teach astronauts to drill or to teach drillers to be astronauts?

Michael Bay, go to hell.

I know it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, but life sometimes requires confirmations.

Summary by Bot

This review critically examines Michael Bay's Armageddon, highlighting its star-studded cast including Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi. Despite a thrilling premise and famous soundtrack, the film suffers from a weak plot and questionable logic. The reviewer dismisses it as a typical Bay blockbuster with more style than substance.
