Back then, it would be common for two blockbuster films made by two different companies about the same story competing in the same summer season. "Armageddon" was competing against "Deep Impact" that year, 1998 and these two were probably the last two films to have such a battle. I saw both films that year in the cinemas and "Deep Impact" was released first. "Deep Impact" was the lower budget but much more thoughtful one and the ending was a real tearjerker. Critics at the time said that "Armageddon" had more action in its first 10 minutes than the whole of "Deep Impact" which is very true. For me though, "Armageddon" is the bigger budget, more brash, more popcorn of a film compared to "Deep Impact". It had Michael Bay pulling out all his signature shots - slow motion, gorgeous lighting, ginormous explosions from the start but in terms of deep story telling and realistic characters, "Deep Impact" is the better film. If you want a slower burning film with a tearjerker finale, watch "Deep Impact". If you want bombastic action, watch "Armageddon". Or watch both for their own merits.

The General is well versed in military tactics; not astrophysics. This is the reason why Dr Quincy had to simplify his analysis of the situation. The asteroid was the size of Texas, composed of rock and iron ferrite, travelling at over 20,000 miles an hour. Hitting it with warheads from the outside would be useless. Drilling a hole and putting a warhead in makes the structure weaker and easier to destroy.

[@Perserra]

That's true except you'd have to drill A LOT deeper than 800 feet. If the asteroid were indeed 'the size of Texas', you'd have to drill more like 250 miles to get near the center.

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

What's interesting is that composition and mass understandings of comets and asteroids have changed significantly in almost 30 years. A simple probe was able to change the trajectory of an asteroid way more than they thought it would. Sending 150 nukes would have probably done the trick, now that we know kinetic impacts work.

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

​@@DragonLatinVIC Your analogy is flawed because it's attached to the earth. You know how like in water, you can essentially move larger floating objects, like a tug boat? Space is like that, in that the lack of gravity is like buoyancy, in that a small push can deliver a large output against the mass. We tested a kinetic impactor recently and it worked way better than we thought it would.

[@kevingarnett2000]

Without his cocky confidence, the drilling plan would not be realised. He is a hero

[@LucianDevine]

That's why it HAD to be drillers and not astronauts. With all the stuff that went wrong up there, astronauts would have failed miserably. They would have tried to play it safe, likely trying to drive to the original drilling site instead of drilling where they landed or something like that. Though that's assuming they also make it off of the space station, which also isn't a guarantee. Every decision the astronauts would have made up there would have been based off of their 8.5 months of training. Every decision Harry made up there was based off of 30 years of experience and whatever else he'd learned from his father and/or grandfather.

Sure, I could "build" the programming aspect of it, but not the hardware. To say one last thing....just my opinion. But if I'm President of the US and I'm searching for my Scientific Adviser, I'm picking someone who excels in ALL aspects of science; and when I say *ALL* I'm talking about the area's of study they did to graduate....and in this case, a C- in the field astrophysics is not something the scientific adviser should have in his/her portfolio. President to his adviser:: We have an asteroid headed here that will destroy the planet Adviser:: Well, this is what we should do..... President to adviser:: Ok, let's do that. While the missile is just moments away from impact, the president, who never looked at his adviser's college history, decides to look through it as he watches updates on the missile about to hit the asteroid. As he finishes reading the part of the astrophysics, he looks up at the tv just in time to see the missile explode. After the flash, all he see's for the next few minutes is a rock. He ponders what he's thought throughout his life and what was important. Finally, he regrets only one thing; he says to himself, "I guess all those people, over the years, who told me that college wasn't that important...just might have been wrong."

I don't know why I keep replay when BBT said "Nothing would surive, not even bacteria" lol

[@bobbt5957]

I Salute to Mr. Bay for this outstanding movie...he is a true Gem....wether ita Armageddon or Transformer series..he put emotions which is unmatchable.....❤ ur the Best Mr. Bay 🙏

[@_R-R]

3:00 Voldemort may be evil, but he knows damn well how to blow an asteroid apart.

[@floatingplanet]

you mean lucius malfoy lol, so this is what he's been up to.

[@cs512tr]

"8 whole months" lol

[@woodrobin]

Bruce Willis had three phases to his career: Young Asshole, Balls to the Wall, and Phoning It In. This movie is the peak of his Balls to the Wall phase. I hated young Bruce, and low-effort Bruce makes me sad, but he really shines in this one.

[@mkram2154]

The moment between me sneaking out and getting caught by my dad was the wonderful 150mins of this movie brilliance.

[@gordoboy18]

After all these years I now realize how ridiculous it is that they thought learning to drill would be more difficult for the astronauts to learn even after 8 months of training than it would be for drillers to become astronauts in 10 days..

[@cerono9169]

well astronaut are mossly nacy guys, and the drillers all days face the death

[@LucianDevine]

Isn't it just as ridiculous to trust these guys up there with what will be 8.5 months of training, as opposed to Harry's 30 years of experience plus whatever else he picked up from his father/grandfather?

[@kj6axk]

@@LucianDevine it's drilling a hole, not rocket science. I think the astronauts could easily learn how to do that. Movie's plot is dumb.

[@LucianDevine]

@@kj6axk Except that even the experienced drillers being led by the man who designed the machine in question barely made it in time. How do you think the astronauts would have done? Even if we assume that from a drilling perspective the astronauts would have done the exact same thing as the experienced drillers, would they have stopped Sharp from dropping off the bomb and thus dooming the entire planet?

[@LucianDevine]

And after 8 months of training they never managed to realize that they did a piss poor job of putting the thing together? I'd rather have guys who understand the machinery than guys who only understand the journey up to where they need to use the machinery.

[@wedgeantilles3983]

Jason Issacs. Any role. Any where.

[@NeoConnor1]

The dude at 2:28 talking about solar sails and winds always cracks me up. It always sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about.

[@Swarm509]

Between The Rock and Armageddon Michael Bay should of kept making these kind of movies. I get the Transformers are a cash cow but with a solid script he could make some epic action movies.

[@xMACHOxMANx]

Sweet upload.

[@MrBrockHeinz]

I guess they didn't understand Bruce Willis' salt of the Earth ways.

[@BrianP1217]

Wish they'd kept the Saturn V rocket unenclosed. Loved seeing it on my way to school.

My Favorite Movie #2024 Steve Bruseami : "Because I am a Freaking Genius ❤🙏

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

Can you imagine how all this would be in the modern age of social media and all that and how much earlier and more easily word of this could break out? And the way the World Trade Center hit (which the spots the towers were hit weren't all that off from where they were hit on 9/11) was beyond scary :(

[@MigPlz91LivestreamOnly]

When the world's greatest villain uses the planets most destructive materia. Michael Bay was there to film it all.

[@rogerkincaid931]

0:47 Well, well, it's the man himself.

[@Sliferzero]

That Piece of Classic my friends. Thanks.

[@Crimson28]

“They don’t know jack about drilling!” Like Affleck said, how hard can it be? Aim the drill at the ground and turn it on.

[@TakumiFujiwara80]

Affleck is a great driller, he can drill everywhere,anytime... In fact he drill the most dangerous place on mother earth and survive it (with a shotgun's shrapnel in the leg actually). If you understand what i mean.....

[@JonathanXLindqviust]

"Let's train drillers to be astronauts, instead of train astronauts to drill" yeah no, great movie though.

[@grast5150]

Everyone gives this flim a bunch of crap but I just love it. Such a fun popcorn film.

[@adamm.6595]

One of the best scenes is when they are trying to track them all down, LEO/FEDs chasing every single one of them. Good times.
