Everything Wrong With Armageddon In 14 Minutes Or Less

It's finally time to count the sins of the Michael Bay-est of all the Michael Bay movies... Armageddon. As you might expect, we found plenty wrong with it.
Thursday: Animated sins. Seriously, some of you will hate us for even going here.
Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins do YOU want to see recounted?

Fun fact!: Ben Affleck actually asked Bay if it would actually be easier and more realistic to train Astronauts to drill, rather than train drillers to be astronauts. Bay simply responded: "Shut the fuck up"

[@arnoldrivas4590]

***** Wow! Bay really is a fucking tool and douche! Wait...did I just two synonyms for Bay? Yeah but for the likes of him, I couldn't give a flying fuck

[@drasticwillb]

McGliga It's like Austin Powers Goldmember when Austin says to MIni-Me "There's only one suit. Somebody will have to stand on somebody else's shoulders." And if you don't know what happens next, it's probably because your life is too important to waste on Austin Powers movies. In fact, too important for You Tube comments so good luck on that antidote to bird flu. All our pleasantly shallow, chicken and rice eating lives are counting on your mind-numbing toil.

[@teddytech7076]

[@RaderizDorret]

Off the top of my head: The shuttle stack doesn't have the ass to throw a shuttle-sized payload to the moon. Shuttles expend all the fuel for their main engines before reaching orbit. Refueling in space has never been done and we're not entirely sure how to do it. Even if we could refuel in space, the shuttle's main engines aren't compatible with the propellants used by space stations for station keeping. There is no room in the cargo bays for the armadillos and the spare tanks that would be needed for the refueling. The amount of fuel needed to throw a shuttle orbiter to the moon would far exceed the shuttle's payload capacity. The violent maneuver around the moon would rip the shuttle apart if it indeed was a 22G burn. Placement of the moon being able provide a gravity assist to meet up with the asteroid is incredibly convenient. Orbital Position Ex-Machina If that asteroid has enough ass to be generating enough gravity to keep shuttle wreckage, heavy vehicles, and people on it and allow them to move around more or less like they would on Earth, then the dinky little nuke they brought with them isn't going to be enough to break it apart into smaller pieces that can be stopped by Earth's atmosphere. If a meteor has enough ass to punch through Earth's atmosphere to actually make impact, NYC would be wiped out. That meteor that airburst over Russia in 2013 detonated with the force of a 500 kiloton bomb and the 1908 Tunguska Event was a probable meteor or comet that airburst with the force of a 15 megaton bomb as a low-end estimate.

[@Zorro9129]

Wait, refueling in space hasn't been done? Ever? That's kinda a basic thing to do, at least by KSP standards.

[@RinAldrin]

Zorro9129 As far as I know it hasn't been required yet, for things like going to the moon they launched the entire mission at once. However meeting in orbit has obviously been done loads and Space X and NASA are planning to do it for Mars missions since it is better to have the IP craft remain in space after initial launch.

***** As far as the MIR goes, it is even said in the movie that the russian cosmonaut made the station rotate which creates pseudo gravity through centripetal force in order for the refueling to work. And in the shuttle, the only times they are walking in the shuttle is while they are docked to the MIR, while in the gravitational pull of the moon and on the Asteroid which has gravity too.

Closing your fist around a firecracker was a decent analogy... which in no way would apply to drilling 800ft into something the size of Texas. That's like a dimple on a golf ball.

[@someperson2287]

Chrono Ryono well maybe but given the size of the crafts the payload would’ve been tiny. Maybe 5 megatons tops and Tsar Bomba still wouldn’t have been enough for something the size of Texas.

[@kenjett2434]

Adding sins because of commentors not knowing or understanding the science this was based on. The idea was never to blow up the asteroid. Only to split it so that the pieces would miss earth. That's why the calculation of 800 ft. That place the bomb into a natural fault of the asteroid aiding the success of splitting it. It doesn't take a big blast it just take a strategically placed blast. Anyone with experience using explosives would know this. Example a strategically placed bomb in the San Andreas Fault would split California but wait guess what we seen that portrayed also in Superman back in 1978 I believe. Same theory in both movies.

[@Frawt]

It has a very stable orbit in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, 2.77 times as far away as the sun at its closest. Scientifically, the movie itself was the greatest disaster Hollywood ever made since Amazon Women on the Moon.

[@Zamolxes77]

John Sparks you should add that if the roid was indeed the size of Texas, a nuke detonated only 800 feet deep would be little more effective than a surface detonation. Make it 8000 feet deep and THAT might have worked.

Overlooked mineralogy sin: the asteroid is so ridiculously unstable (with tumbling rocks flying across the surface, hydrogen gas pockets exploding below the surface, and a geology that suggests that it is more brittle than rust (or since it's iron ferrite (which loosely translates as iron-iron) maybe it is actually rust), so just let it hit earth. There's no way it would make it through re-entry. The only thing that would hit the ground would be some rusty ash. Overlooked astronomy sin: this is the slowest asteroid ever. The shuttle actually has to time to slingshot around the moon to catch up to it, land on it, drill, etc. Suppose the mission failed. When the asteroid hits, it would not even be an extinction level event. Oh, don't get me wrong, it would be devastating (perhaps to the extent of several H-bombs), but damage would be limited to local area - definitely not a global killer. That would require velocity - on the order of 10, 000 mph. But if the asteroid was going that fast, it would take a few minutes to hit earth once it passed the moon, and that would make the timeline insanely ridiculous. Additionally, at the required speed for an extinction level event, zero barrier would need to be put somewhere passed Jupiter. There are serious logistic issues here.

[@caddo672]

Haven't even watched video, but it needs 100 sins taken off for being one of the best movies ever.

[@candymadeofdrugs]

you freaking missed the freaking ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY on the space station, that alone should have been 10000 sins

[@Gamerboy-zi2bb]

[@Gamerboy-zi2bb]

Um. No. I'm just crazy and decided to do something.

[@candymadeofdrugs]

Gamerboy111 do you think it's ok for the concept and science of artificial gravity to be ridiculed in such a blatant way as it is done in this movie ?

[@xTornado78x]

candymadeofdrugs The station started rotating to simulate gravity, and yes it really works.

[@candymadeofdrugs]

you're really fucking stupid if you believe gravity in space works that way

[@michaelhill9190]

Considering the continuing growth of the popularity of retro gaming I'm surprised there aren't a ton of posts saying "the platinum bar in the loud room is from Zork!". (For anyone who doesn't know, Zork was text adventure computer game from quite a few years ago.)

[@sincitysinner9239]

LMFAO!!! "Just like a 1976 Buick in a horror movie, this space craft won't start right now." That was definitely one of my favorite lines in any CinemaSins video, good writing my friend, good writing indeed.

[@maverick5408]

in the bloopers part, you should've shown the scene where the Freedom flies through the debris field while Sharp says "Goddamn we've got debris" with the dialogue from Empire Strikes back (Never tell me the odds-Han Solo)

[@trollmanable]

LOL, the Sling Blade excerpt had me rolling!

[@razzle1964]

I fuckin' love these witty critiques. Even though I may have learned nothing of great consequence, I must thank you for showing Bruce Willis playing golf left-handed - leading me to find out that, well ... it's because he IS!

[@AlexH409]

Lol "even the title has to explode in a Michael Bay movie😂

[@sulacomarine]

Another sin: The scene at 8:20 where the guy pointing and saying "Freedom Crew. Independence Crew." The shuttles don't launch from the same launch pad. There are 2 pads, but that scene makes it look like the shuttles are at the same pad. The real NASA launch pads don't work that way.

[@AryanLyncher]

What's crazy is that Owen Wilson was the main character that Bruce Willis's daughter Liv married. They shot the entire film this way, test audiences hated the bizarre dynamic, then Bay reshot all Owen's scenes with Ben Affleck, & added a geologist character for Owen. That's why you don't see Owen Wilson, the "geologist", in any of the oil rig scenes. Same shit happened to Eric Stoltz as Marty in Back to the Future, & James Remar as Hicks in Aliens.

[@DT-hp8de]

As an oil driller myself, I can find many more things wrong-such as drilling iron ferrite with a rock bit with such huge teeth! And Harry's daughter walking around a rig with a dress and high heels. I mean, seriously, walking on grating with high heels? And an asteroid the size of Texas? The largest asteroids we have in the belt are the size of large cities, not states!

[@lisa101561]

9:15 additional sin: the director didnt feel the need to take literally two minutes to google search whether or not explosions make noise in space

[@JeffDeanTheDeanZone]

Sir, you missed one. Armageddon in the Bible is a war, where all the armies of the earth gather to fight with Jesus at his second coming. When that guy said "the Bible calls this day Armageddon" I would have asked "so where is Jesus and where are the armies?"

[@AceProductions828]

That's what I never understood when that guy said that in the speech

[@JeffDeanTheDeanZone]

[@neto7765]

so the meteor is jesus ? lmao

[@candymadeofdrugs]

Yeah, but i think it's the armies of the world along with the antichristt who fight against Jesus and his fam on Mt megido. Also i would have asked who is the antichrist? Bilie Bob Thornton?

[@maatuainen6208]

[@dragoncrash1234]

You missed the fact that there was FIRE IN SPACE and that the asteroid bits made SOUNDS ON THE MOON. THERE IS NO SOUND IN SPACE NOR IS THERE FIRE

[@whyareyoureadingthis282]

Blake B. DING

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

And the fact the shuttle was dodging meteors like a race car. Wings don't work in space. All they can do is fire some thruster in the nose to slightly defiate course. JD

[@xtremer2649]

It is true that sound cannot exist in space, since there is no air for the sound waves to flow in. But it is possible to have fire, despite not having oxygen. Fire is just a quemical reaction where particles get too hot due to constant friction. If they can find another substance like hydrogen or Neon, fire can start just fine.

[@Xeth247]

Hehe, the deep impact reference. Also, I like how they know when the asteroid will impact down to the second, but not the location of the impact. It's not like the Earth spins in a very consistent and predictable manner.

[@OverlandOne]

They should make a movie where everything goes wrong at the end and the world gets destroyed. That will be cool, I don't know why these doomsday movies have to have happy endings all the time.

[@mikailnizam4153]

what about 2012

[@ScarlettM]

I'm surprised you didn't give extra sins for size and location of the asteroid. Texas size 17 days away would be second only to moon in brightness. Whole planet would be able to see it with naked eyes, so the idea that thousands of amateur astronomers all missed this thing during previous months is the most unbelievable thing in this movie. And sin 129 - hitting things WORKS! I'm from Russia and I've seen it/done it numerous times and if I was in that shuttle at that moment that's what I would do!

[@medic8377]

Missed the "If you've ever trusted me in my life trust me now" suddenly makes the drill work better than it did for the dead guy. That was worth a sin or five.

[@matmoore9202]

Yeah since every single piece of equipment is manufactured to precisely perfect dimensions and assembled in EXACTLY the same condition that would cause the equipment to fail in the exact same conditions, and I guess the fact that the other transmission had been drilling for who knows how long causing heat stress also plays no role either...I think your comment deserves a ding long before that scene does.

"The movie is an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained."- Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun Times in 98)

[@89kylestyle]

4:23 Glad you put this one in there. Made absolutely no sense when I saw the movie. I was like, "Did a few months just pass by?". But that wouldn't have made sense because earth had little over a week before the meteor would hit. I don't think Michael Bay really asks himself, "Is this story realistic?".
