Armageddon: Re-mastered Edition (2 Disc Set) [DVD] [1998]

This 1998 blow-'em-up from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay (The Rock, Bad Boys) continued Hollywood's millennium-fuelled fascination with the destruction of our planet. There's no arguing that the successful duo understand what mainstream audiences want in their blockbuster movies--loads of loud, eye-popping special effects, rapid-fire pacing, and patriotic flag waving.The protagonists are oil drillers summoned to save the world from a Texas-sized meteor hurling toward the earth and are common men with whom all can relate. In this huge Western-in-space soap opera, they're American cowboys turned astronauts.
