actually laughed out loud. I love everything about this movie. This was one of the best from the 90's. I hate what Michael Bay did to my beloved Transformers but he got this one right in the entertainment factor. All the inaccuracies aside this is one fun movie. I wish Bay would stick to stuff like this not anything that's been established that he can ruin. I've been reading through some of the comments and I can't believe how many people hate it.

Honestly the mistakes in this movie are horrendous and unforgivable.

To anyone who understands basic physics, this movie is like Barney claiming to be a real dinosaur.

If you can't get the science right, stay the heck away from it. Instead this movie focuses on showing off moronic science.

I've watched and liked movies with inaccurate science, but they had a good plot and likeable characters.

It's called a movie and you suspend your disbelief. If I watched every movie and got upset for how many weren't 100% close to reality I'd hate thousands of movies.

Armageddon still ruined some things, like the blockbuster appeal of Liv Tyler and Bruce Willis. All of Willis's mannerisms are emphasized and without any of his humor that worked in "Die Hard" movies or "Pulp Fiction." Michael Bay is still making this same movie.

Do you remember in the theatrical cut of this film, Bruce striking a Jesus Christ pose in the final edit when he gets blowed up? Him standing with his arms wide, then crossing them across his chest? It's a half second of footage, but nobody remembers what I saw.
