Armageddon is in my eyes the ultimate blockbuster. It has everything a blockbuster needs and should have including major action scenes, an epic story, romance, cheesy humor and stereotypic characters. When working with all these elements and a few more at that, movies can tend to turn out bad. This is where Armageddon proves itself. The story and plot is very epic and although it is not very realistic it does not fail to include everything needed in a blockbuster.
The movie has a massive cast of known actors and actresses and overall they all do a great job portraying their characters. The music is also very good, with a broad selection of known songs. Some of the scenes in combination with the selected music is bound to make you cry or at least make you're eyes wet.
No blockbuster without explosions and great special effects and Armageddon is no exception. The movie is pretty long yet the action and suspense basically never stops leaving you physiologically tired when the credits roll. The special effects are amazing and help tremendously in the overall enjoyment.
Why this movie only has 6/10 score on IMDb is beyond me. It is one of the most epic movies I know about and deserves a 10/10. If you like blockbusters and have not seen Armageddon yet, I urge you to do so right now. You will not be disappointed!
