Armageddon

Starring: Bruce Willis, Steve Buscemi, Will Patton, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, and Billy Bob Thornton.
Directed By: Micheal Bay.

1st viewing: WOW!! This was one awesome movie. The acting was surprisingly good for an all-out action movie. Trevor Rabin did a truly amazing job with the score, it was great. The action sequences featured Micheal Bay's amazing uber-editing (and directing). The special effects blew me out of this world. Steve Buscemi's one-liners cracked the heck out of me. What can I say? Everything was excellent, except for that garbage "Discovery Channel scene" .

2nd viewing: Same as first, the "Discovery Channel scene" still sucks. However, this time I enjoyed the movie more because I didn't have to take a leak, so I could absorb the whole "impact" completely.

3rd viewing: I'm getting sick of this movie. I was only going to see it to the part when the astronauts are being trained, but The Truman Show was sold out, so I had to stay. Well, I think the best parts of the movie occured on Earth, not in space. However, this time I saw it in DTS, and man, that makes the movie so much better (The previous two times I saw it in SDDS). In my eyes, the sound saved the movie from the really bad review I would have given it.

Note:  The first two viewings occured approximately within 24 hours of 
each other.  The third viewing occured on the day after that.
