Armageddon outta here
NASA discovers a huge meteor simmilar to the one that wiped out the dinosaurs is heading to Earth. Coming up with a plan they recruit a team of oilrig workers to land on the meteor and blow it up before it reaches Earth and destroys all life on the planet. One of director Michael Bay's early films, this is a cheesy, ridiculous film that you can't take seriously for a second yet also a lot of fun with Bruce Willis in good form and a good supporting cast including Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Clarke Duncan, Owen Wilson and Will Patton all playing it completely tongue in cheek. Spectacular action and effects and looks stunning on bluray too. One of Michael Bay's best films.

Earth-shatteringly Brilliant !
Next time the media tell you that an asteroid is currently on-course to impact Earth, be sure to play this dvd ! OK, we no longer use the space shuttle (so it's a bit dated) and the cgi isn't quite up to today's standard but this is still an excellent movie. Superb performances with enough 'hi-concept / hi-octane' throughout. Totally full of enough belevable emotional bits to make me cry.

With my tongue FIRMLY in my cheek....
With this movie (rather than, as you may have thought, "Jurassic Park"), the BIG KID/POPCORN movie came of age. Oh, all right then, if you must, "Raiders" set a bar, but this movie went over it and never stopped. Kind of odd, considering that Bruce Willis also changed the Bond franchise forever with "Die Hard", but I digress...Nasty big asteroid heading for Earth, big bunch of muscly oil men knowing how to drill explosives, CGI pouring off the screen, discreet love interest, relentless action and a script with its tongue firmly you-know-where. OK, so I love classic movies as well, but there is a real place for this real one-size-fits-all movie in the Great Movie Canon. This is the kind of movie that Thomas Magnum would have watched. Or Jeremy Clarkson. Boy stuff. You don't like it? Well there's "Sex and The City 1 &2" out there. Or maybe "Cats & Dogs". You choose. Tell you what, pick them all up, some cans of lager, a bottle of white wine for the ladies and a mountain of popcorn. DVD heaven. What d'ya say??

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER - WILLIS AT HIS BEST
BRILLIANT, Bruce Willis at his 'in your face' best! The characters are fantastic, very funny in parts, very exciting in others and with an ending that rips the heart out of you. Can't recommend highly enough. Great action, edge of the seat excitement, great effects. Excitement, fear, humour and emotion all in one great package. A MUST SEE movie. I watch this over and over and never tire of it. One of my all time favourites.

Un des meilleurs films catastrophe
Ce film sorti en 1998, a fait couler beaucoup dâencre, et il en fait encore couler beaucoup aujourdâhui, le principal reproche que beaucoup de gens font Ă ce film amĂ©ricain est dâĂȘtre trop âŠ. AmĂ©ricain, un comble.Câest trĂšs fort quand on y pense, les anti-amĂ©ricains primaires sont de sortie, anti-Willis, anti-Michael Bay, ceux qui nâaiment pas les films amĂ©ricains, allez voir les gentilles comĂ©dies françaises, oĂč tout finit toujours bien et oĂč on connait dĂ©jĂ la fin au bout de 5 minutes, ces films vous correspondront mieux. Jâinvite toute personne Ă se faire sa propre opinion sans se fier aux critiques de tout poil qui ont descendu ce film en flammes et le font encore aujourdâhui, juste Ă cause de sa nationalitĂ©, au lieu de le regarder dans son ensemble.A partir de lĂ , lâaventure commence. On peut entrer dans lâhistoire qui est racontĂ©e. Il faut Ă©galement se rappeler que câest une histoire de pure fiction qui est rapportĂ©e Ă lâĂ©cran.La navette Atlantis est dĂ©truite par une pluie de mĂ©tĂ©orite, ce qui rĂ©vĂšle une catastrophe majeure, un astĂ©roĂŻde immense va sâĂ©craser sur la terre dans 18 jours. La NASA se dĂ©cide pour une mission de la derniĂšre chance : envoyer des astronautes qui dĂ©poseront une charge nuclĂ©aire Ă lâintĂ©rieur de lâastĂ©roĂŻde. Pour ce faire, Harry Stamper, le plus grand spĂ©cialiste des forages est rĂ©quisitionnĂ© ainsi que son Ă©quipe, ils vont tous devoir subir un entrainement adĂ©quat afin dâĂȘtre envoyĂ©s dans lâespace.Film catastrophe de par la nature de son histoire, câest aussi un trĂšs bon film dâaction, cela se dĂ©roule vite, le rythme est fluide, nerveux, les enjeux sont posĂ©s dĂšs les premiĂšres minutes, les personnages sont prĂ©sentĂ©s tour Ă tour. Le fim, bien que relativement long pour ce genre, puisquâil fait quand mĂȘme 2h25, passe trĂšs vite, tant on est happĂ© par tous les Ă©vĂ©nements et les retournements de situation qui ont lieu. Les effets spĂ©ciaux sont trĂšs bien rendus Ă lâĂ©cran et sont trĂšs spectaculaires, presque 20 ans aprĂšs, ils nâont pas pris une ride.Alors bien sĂ»r, il y a des invraisemblances, et câest tout Ă fait normal, car cela reste de la science fiction car tout est inventĂ©e, mais câest du trĂšs bon film de divertissement. Bien que lâhistoire globale se finisse bien, il y a beaucoup de personnages qui ne reviennent pas de lâaventure, aprĂšs avoir trouvĂ© une mort certaine au cours de la mission, notamment le sacrifice dâun personnage principal Ă la fin du film qui pourrait en surprendre plus dâun.En outre, le casting bĂ©nĂ©ficie dâune belle brochette dâacteurs.En plus de Bruce WILLIS, qui tient le rĂŽle principal, en tant que leader de son Ă©quipe de secours, il y a Ben AFFLECK et Liv TYLER, qui incarnent A.J. Frost et Grace, fille de Harry, qui cache Ă son pĂšre, sa liaison avec le bras droit de la sociĂ©tĂ© de forage, car elle craint sa rĂ©action, qui ne se fait pas attendre, au dĂ©but du film.On retrouve Ă©galement des acteurs confirmĂ©s tels que Billy Bob THORNTON, Will PATTON, Steve BUSCEMI, William FICHTNER, Jason ISAACS, Owen WILSON et le regrettĂ© Michael Clarke DUNCAN.Bref, que du trĂšs bon.En ce qui concerne le blu ray, lâimage est tout simplement sublime, digne du support HD, les couleurs sont superbes et Ă©clatantes, le contraste est trĂšs bien rendu, notamment pour les scĂšnes sombres se passant dans lâespace, les dĂ©tails apparaissent avec une fluiditĂ© remarquable. Du trĂšs haut niveau.Le son nâest pas en reste, bien au contraire, trĂšs bien mis en valeur et trĂšs puissant, il surclasse tout, les scĂšnes contenant des effets spĂ©ciaux ressortent de trĂšs belle maniĂšre.La BO est Ă©galement lâun des atouts du film, avec la chanson principale du film « I Donât Want Miss To Miss A Thing » interprĂ©tĂ© avec talent par Steven TYLER, leader du groupe Aerosmith et Ă©galement pĂšre de lâactrice Liv TYLER.Seule dĂ©ception de ce BR, les bonus, qui sont bien maigres, juste des bandes annonces et le clip vidĂ©o de la chanson principale. Il faut se reporter sur lâĂ©dition DVD collector pour voir les bonus qui tiennent une galette entiĂšre. Quel dommage !
