An insult to antone with half a brain

Liqud leaks un space stations... In zero gravity, there can't be dripping liquids.

Asteroids that change speed once they enter Moon's orbit... When summoned, the crew is informed that the big asteroid is crossing Jupiter's orbit, and will impact in two weeks. At that speed, the time to get from the Moon to Earth is 11 seconds.

They also change gravity force upon script needs... Gravity obeys to size and density of bodies and the distance between. Neither of those changed in order to make a car jump over a cliff, yet, the drillers walked as on earth in every other scene.

The music, and rhe girl were the only things they got right.

I'm curious about that too and why he has/will have half a brain.

The other half was drunk!

Thank you for your comment!

Hi. Sorry about my grammar. I wrote that review while my half brain was a little drunk, over my phone keyboard. I meant Anyone and Asteroids. Sober now, I still think that movie soaked.

he means Antwan. half-black, half-Samoan.. used to call him "Tony Rocky Horror"

[–] chrislwmn3 9 years ago

Seems to me that someone didn't watch the movie. Also, your grammar is an insult to antone with half a brain.

They turned off zero gravity. That's pretty plain to see when people stop floating through the air.

No comment on the speed of asteroid. I could care less because the movies whole premise requires suspension of belief.

The asteroid gravity issue is also clearly explained by the thrusters on the suits. They actually have an entire scene about the thrusters keeping them walking around like normal rather than like on earth.

Perhaps watching the movie will keep you from looking like an idiot.

Hi.

Sorry about my grammar. I wrote that review while my half brain was a little drunk, over my phone keyboard. I meant Anyone and Asteroids. Sober now, I still think that movie sucks..

Please watch its review in Honest Trailer over YouTube. Even Afleck is embarrassed.

You see, gravity between two bodies is given by the multiplication of their sqare is ndividual masses and divided by theor sqare proximity... I didn't make that up... It was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. You can only affect it by changing mass or distance, you cannot just "turn it off". As far as I know, it can be replicated by the effect of inertia in a spinning vessel, as seen in the tecent movie "the martian". But they didn't have sucha a device in Armageddon, did they?

By the changin gravity in the asteroid, I meant the part when they jump over the cliff on a land vehicle. It is only then when gravity doesn't work as on earth.

I did see the movie when it first came out. I couldn't endure to watch it again.

I'm sorry but is your half of a brain still drunk?

Remember when the movie had the premise of sending a team of oil drillers into outer space to not only land on an asteroid but also drill into it to plant a nuke? Does any of that seem plausible to you? They had a mini gun on a spaceship for the sole purpose of having the super genius ride it.

If you were expecting a documentary, then that is your fault. Frankly, it was more of a comedy than anything else and not a good one at that.

This movie soaked ass and antone agreed

Besides, everyone knows that this is based on 100% scientific fact. They only want you to think it can't happen to keep us controlled. Just like they msde everyone think the world was flat when obviously it was round, right?

Wait, the earth is still round, right?

[–] carlos_m_herrera 8 years ago

You made me laugh a lot, my friend!

Yes, there's still people who defend Earth's flatness! There is even a group that sustains that we are in a bubble and our sky is the center of it!

[–] mikeyg24 9 years ago

If you had the other half of your brain would it make your post readable?

The thing you don't get in your stupidity is that this movie isn't asking anyone to use their brain, whole or otherwise!

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time Del Boy, it's them that started me drinking!

My half brain cannot be turned off while going to the movies. Did you watch Deep Impact? Same premise, similar approach, entertaining and educational.

It must be very convenient to be told that te moon is made out of cheese and believe it.

It must be very convenient as well not to understand something and believe that those who do, to be the stupid ones.

Yep, we all do. But if you are living in the USA, your chances are greater than mine. That's statistics, not an omen, or a mean thing for me to say. We are all going to die, If only we were given the chance to choose our death...

I wish you a long, healthy, happy and prosperous life, Mickey.

Did you get to see Deep Impact?

Better still, will you please tell me what did you see in Armageddon that you enjoyed so much? Maybe I missed something important.

[–] magentamarzipane 8 years ago

William Fichtner has really, really blue eyes. That is what I see in Armageddon that I enjoy so much.

[–] The_Ultimate_Hippo 8 years ago

I have a full brain and this movie was the biggest insult to my intelligence. In all honesty the Benghazi movie may very well be Bay's only movie that didn't make me want to kill myself.

Lol well it does say that NASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found. Under the trivia section. So it's definitely far fetch but the thing with movies is to suspend your disbelief. I enjoy this for what it is, entertainment. It's a total guilty pleasure movie for me. It's early Michael Bay, I like his stuff before he ruined Transformers.

[–] carlos_m_herrera 8 years ago

LOL Thanks for the NASA input, residentevil6901! This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Funny thing is that when I first met the husband of one of my wife's friends, doing small talk, I asked him to tell me his all time favorite movie... He said "Armageddon"! The rest of the evening was so interesting, he respected my views about physics. I respected his views about the music, the girl and that even though everything was going wrong, they would strive for a way out. Thanks for replying!

See there's the difference between here and real life.

You can have a polite and amusing discussion about such things in real life, whereas here is full of sad hostile jerk-offs hiding behind their anonymity in order to lash out to achieve what they perceive as victories - I often suspect because victories are what they so sorely lack in everyday life.

...then whoa, differences...

An insult to antone with half a brain

Who is this antone? And why does the poor soul have only half a brain???

Hi. Sorry about my grammar. I wrote that review while my half brain was a little drunk,

Oh, so you are antone with the half brain. Nice to meet you antone! But then who is carlos_m_herrera?

[–] k_who 8 years ago

Sorry about your brain! What happened to the other half of it?

As someone with an entire brain (almost) intact within my skull, this movie did not insult me at all. Quite the opposite - I very much enjoy it on every re-watch. But then, I don't look for science in sci-fi disaster movies, merely for quality entertainment and escapism.

But I am not judging you. You'd probably need both halves of your brain to come to such outlook. Since you only have 1/2 and have a drinking problem to boot, it is no wonder at all that you feel the need to come here and brag about knowing a few scientific facts you got from google and wikipedia.

Pain is inexhaustible. It's only people that get exhausted.

[–] Darwinskid 8 years ago

It's insulting to anyone with half a brain that you misspell the word "anyone" in your subject heading and that you're complaining about an 18 year old movie where scientific accuracy was clearly not one of its goals. Now who feels silly?
