Armageddon

"It's much better to teach oil drillers to be astronauts than teach astronauts how to drill a hole."


This quote basically sums up Armageddon, taken from this Facebook group found here: https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2210819155. 


The movie, while intriguing and entertaining, was completely absurd. I (Hanna) don't even think the ridiculousness of the whole film set in until after the credits started rolling.


"You know what's weird, is I hate end of the world movies, but this didn't feel like one," says Maddie. "No, honestly, it was pretty far-fetched. Why was it one of our top movies to watch again?"


To this, I answer, "Well, it wasn't a must-see but it was on the list because it was a huge movie in terms of special effects. Michael Bay (the director, also known for Pearl Harbor and the abysmal Transformers movies) isn't one to do things small, and this was clearly evident in this movie. He put practically all of his attention on the action/destruction sequences, and seemed to neglect the plot, character development and overall realism that seems to be absent from most end-of-the-world movies, even to this day."


"And once again, in this end-of-the-world movie, the world didn't end." Maddie adds.


Certainly not a must-see, but definitely something that you might get a laugh out of.
