Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Someone reviewed this film as being "scientifically accurate", which I guess it is if the only science you know came from the Austin Powers trilogy. It's amazing to me that someone would think it was possible that they could blow up an asteroid with a "giant laser", and the pieces would all impact the exact same spot, despite the fact that the Earth ROTATES, and the explosion delayed the pieces somehow so that they fell to Earth days later than expected. As far as the acting, I wondered throughout the movie just how much Thorazine Annabelle Sciorra had ingested before sleepwalking through her scenes. Michael Biehn doesn't fare much better. He couldn't act as if his hair was wet when he just went through a massive wave that washed his truck off a bridge, yet left him and the guys in the bed of the truck dry and unscathed. This movie fails on every level. Everyone should sue the producers for those four hours back.

This may be the worst "sky is falling" flick I have ever seen. It is a blatant copy of any number of previous such disaster films, minus the excitement and drama and interest. Michael Biehn, not exactly the most exciting actor who ever lived, heads all non-star cast as the world prepares for collision with an asteroid. As goofy as Armageddon was, I'd watch that 100 times over this low-brow pablum. At least hambone lead Bruce Willis dies at the end. Heck, I'd even watch that 1974 "world is coming to an end" craptacular EARTHQUAKE with Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner 100 times over this. I just love it when the aged Heston and Gardner get all muddy.

How did she get caught up in this movie? I loved Annabella Sciorra in "What Dreams May Come", but this was just ridiculous.It was so terrible it was hilarious. Being from Texas, I had to watch it. Obviously, these people did not do ANY research at all before they started this movie because Dallas County is one of only 35 counties in Texas that does NOT have oil fields. And yet somehow, that tiny asteroid was able to set the oil fields in Dallas on fire. Miraculous! Also, those people would not be wearing long sleeves in July in Dallas, where the temperatures rarely drop below 90 degrees, even at night.Watch only if you want a good laugh.

When the lead character acts like she's sleepwalking through the entire film, that's distracting! When just about anyone from my high school's drama class could do a much better job while brushing their teeth then it's time to open up the wallet, and hire better talent.Once you get past the special affects, all which use cheesy models, this godforsaken movie is boring as sin, or, should I say mud!Beside being preposterous, for example, the meteoroid, or whatever, ONLY hits a dam in its first strike, this pitiful film is also delusional! Remember the scene where the head of FEMA risks his life to save someone who is obviously in danger of being wiped out by fire? As Hurricane Katrinia proves, there is no such thing as a bureaucratic, administrator hero! Instead, this movie comes off as a piece of not-so-subtle Federal government propaganda not worthy of a moment of your time!
