Armageddon (1998) REACTION

[@80s_kid]

Armageddon is the essence of everything people love about Michael Bay movies. For me, this and The Rock were the high points of his directing career.

[@nikolastse]

yeah great movies. 1990-2003 best movies era

[@kimarhironso437]

I've always liked The Island as well.

[@pickboaa]

Yeah The Rock is an amazing movie aswell :)

[@karlbee7836]

Armageddon is the essence of everything what the people wants. I think thats the reason why this film touches us all emotionally. Everyone wishes a father like Harry (who always love and protects his children), a Hero who safe us all, straightens everything again and bring justice in to the world. All this symbolizes Harry.

[@troymash8109]

IMO Bay's best film is 13 Hours by far.

As an adult male, I never thought I'd cry over a Bruce Willis character but this movie proved me wrong.

I like "NOW I AM REALLY A RUSSIAN HEROOOOOO!!!! YEAAAAAAAA!"

[@jarrettowens6073]

My favorite line of that Russian guy is, "THIS IS HOW WE FIX THINGS IN RUSSIAN SPACE STATION!!!!" while he's hitting it with a wrench. Technically, that's how you sometimes kickstart a car engine back up so it runs again. Get it? Kickstart? (Awkward silence) Right, I'll just see myself out.

[@christophercurtis4131]

One of my all-time favorite movies. Everything about it is great. A little bit of interesting trivia: The narration at the beginning of the movie was done by the legendary actor Charlton Heston. When I saw this in theaters, I recognized his voice right away.

[@jonchicoine]

I agree, i loved this movie! It's one of the best all time!

[@codyschale263]

Im ashamed i didn't know that, being I've seen this movie so many times and Heston is amazing.

[@mlong1958]

Deep Impact is another of these movies that came out at the same time and is well worth watching, staring Tea Leoni and Robert Duvall.

[@toddkes5890]

Deep Impact to me is the better movie as it focuses on people and the planning involved with such a disaster.

[@beetlebob4675]

Yeah i like that one better, too. It was more realistic. One of my favorite movies in general. I always insist people refresh themselves with Armageddon before they watch Deep Impact. 🤣🤣

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

You forgot Morgan Freeman

[@Cifer77]

Ben Afflek asked the Director, Michael Bay... "Why would it be easier to teach drillers how to be astronauts, then teach astronauts how to be drillers?" Michael Bay's response... "Shut the fuck up"

[@thectk1000]

Part of me can sort of buy it. Its humanitys single, desperate, Hail Mary attempt to stop an asteroid. If they could get away with having the best astronauts and best drillers on the job I suppose that would be ideal. That said, they'd probably have to spend the whole two weeks just on putting their suits on correctly to make sure they dont die just from that. So it is still pure insanity.

[@brucethrasher8551]

Tyler, not Taylor

[@yungpep]

How'd you get her name wrong bruuhhh

[@refineme]

We named our only daughter Grace because of this movie. She even has dark hair and fair skin and looks very similar to Liv Tyler (I’m Asian and my wife is white). Even though she is almost 7 now, I still call her “baby Gracie”. This movie came out when I was in High School, and watching movies just isn’t like how it used to be. This was such a big movie when it came out and I’ve seen it so many times now. Great reaction.

[@UtopiaBlue68]

A beautiful story! Thank you for sharing it with us! God Bless you, your wife and "baby Grace"! 🙏

[@josephsoltero7326]

Oh wow this is so beautiful! If she ever plays sports and wins, you gotta be like "WE WIN, GRACIE!!"

[@canadianicedragon2412]

One of the great things about this movie is the combo, it has humour, action, scifi, etc. all together. It is also "more real" than some movies, where everyone lives and/or there are no flaws or issues. These characters were... well characters, they ran from the cops, the fought with each other, they were separated from wife/kid, and so on. Still another adorable reaction Blue.

[@blairhaffly1777]

I don't think I cried watching this in the theater but I sure did watching you watch it. Great reaction.

"Requesting permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I ever met." One of the most epic lines in history.

"I don't know much of anything but damn." :D This is one of those 90s movies that wasn't really great but yet extremely enjoyable. So many tear jerk moments. "Mum, that salesman is on TV. That man is not a salesman. That's your daddy." Gets me every single time.

Just rewatching Trixie's reaction to this film for the 3rd time and reading some comments. You might be interested to know that the Queen song, "All Dead, All Dead" is about Brian May's child hood pet cat who had passed away. Its a sweet song. Almost similar to The Beatles' song, "Martha My Dear" which is about Paul McCartney's sheep dog.

[@IggyStardust1967]

Good morning, Blue! There were actually TWO movies along this same storyline that came out around the same time. The other one is "Deep Impact". I saw that one first, because I'm not really a Bruce Willis fan. However, after seeing Armageddon, I actually enjoyed his performance in this movie. Both are worth watching, although they differ in tone and story slightly. Also, you can't go wrong with Morgan Freeman as President of the US in a movie. 18:16 - Thanks, Blue.... My mother ran out on me, too. Right after my father died. To be fair, she really didn't have any real "mothering instincts", so it WAS for the better. But you saying this, given how I've turned out (never been arrested in my 55 years on this Earth) kinda hit home. Especially when I think of how my sister turned out (she has a heart of gold, if I'm honest).... this woman literally abandoned all of us (I have an older brother by her, as well). Despite all of the adversity we have all faced, we turned out to be good people. Maybe not "angels", but at the very least, we are decent human beings. And to me, that's enough. Our mother literally dropped us all off to grandparents (my brother and sister to our mother's adoptive parents, and me to my father's mother), and straight up walked away to go live her own life. So, yeah.... that's my reality.

[@luketimewalker]

[@parkeydavid]

I don't think Blue would survive "Deep Impact" because it's so emotional.

[@yungpep]

Really hope she sees this bro 🤞

[@thejamppa]

Narator for beginning of this film was legendary Charlton Heston. If you ever want to watch truly a Classic with Capital C: Ben-Hur with Charlton Heston from 1959 is mind blowing epic. The charriot race alone is worth watching entire film. If you want to watch more lighthearted space film: Clint Eastwood''s Space Cowboys (2000) might fit the bill nicely.

[@samuelvincent557]

My buddy and I went to see this in the theatre, when it first came out, when I was in my early 20s. We went in all hyped to see a space action flick. Near the end, I remember us saying this about it. "This movie has Bruce Willis, space ships, world destruction, asteroids, machine guns and nukes. SO WHY THE HELL ARE WE CRYING?!!!" "We're not crying...it's just allergies. We're allergic to Bruce Willis emotional scenes...God damn it." My Dad said he liked this movie because it was a great depiction of "Heroism without hubris."

[@scottdarden3091]

I was an electronic technician on off shore drilling rigs. A really good movie you should watch is Deepwater Horizon starring Mark Wahlberg as the rig ET. It's a true story and shows a lot about how a drilling rig works. My son was on one of the boats that went to rescue.

[@markharris1125]

Only just discovered your channel. This was a fun ride to the asteroid - made it all seem new again. Others may have made this point but sadly guns do work in space - not just inside the ship's atmosphere but in a vacuum too. Modern ammunition has its own oxidiser so it'll fire quite happily with no air around it. For those of us who are - ahum - a bit older (people who know Dr Suess, for example), that opening narration always send a shiver down the spine, because those are the dramatic gravelly tones of the great Charlton Heston. Star of El Cid, The Ten Commandments, Ben Hur, Planet of the Apes and Airport 1975. (Not joking, I loved Airport 1975, though I can't seem to find a copy anywhere.) Great fun - and you've covered HotD as well. My viewing is settled for a few days!

[@patrickcromwell7554]

Peel Off, in this case means move off course. To fly somewhere else. Find another flight path. But because they need to be very specific about where they land, they can't "just find another path." They can't just drill anywhere they choose. Each ship has a specific landing spot that needs to be exact. Like Rockhound said they landed on a very thick deposit of iron; which is exceedingly difficult to drill through and will take more time than they have.

[@aaronburdon221]

The primary problem I have with this movie is the going 11 G's. Basically G force is the weight of earths gravity. if you weigh 200 pounds you'd literally have 2200 pounds of weight on top of you. You wouldn't be able to move, you wouldn't be able to breathe. You damn sure wouldn't be able to talk. If your body managed to survive it, then it would definitely be in massive pain.

[@seangetsinger5881]

This is the most EPIC movie ever. It’s the perfect combination of everything. I died laughing when you said you’d volunteer to detonate the weapon if you were a prostitute. I’m still laughing!! Deep Impact was a similar movie but it doesn’t even hold a candle to Armageddon.

[@justintrefney1083]

A recent NASA mission made this movie obsolete. Recently we sent a spacecraft to make it crash into an asteroid like 10 million miles away and it changed its trajectory.

Armageddon surprisingly has more than a few moments that hit deep. It doesn't matter how many times I see it. Those same moments get me. Armageddon is also notorious at NASA. Astronaut trainees watch the movie and have to notice all the "errors" or things that wouldn't really happen in real life, and there is like 170 of them or something around that number. I'm sure on your wedding day you will also look just as beautiful Trixy!

[@jeffthompson9622]

"Deep Impact" is much closer to what could occur. This is fun if you ignore astrophysics, but it is a live action cartoon. It did lead to Bruce Willis recommending Michael Clarke Duncan for "The Green Mile."

[@blakewalker84120]

36:09 "Why didn't they travel to a less iron place? They had the time." Maybe. But they had no way to travel. Sure, the Armadillo could travel. But it can carry 1 drill and a few feet of pipe. The rest of what they need is on the ship. What you don't see here is them pulling down tons of pipe and multiple drill heads from the cargo hold on their ship. Also, the ship couldn't just fly to a better spot, mainly because it's not a helicopter. The only way for it to fly is hundreds of miles an hour and you saw what happened the first time they tried that. Far too risky. So their only choice was to drill where they landed and hope for the best.

The science is shaky on most things, but the verbal description of the asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs is fairly on point.

When this rock hit atmosphere, it wouldn't merely push air out of the way, the air would very literally IGNITE.

Rumours that I've heard that I take with a pretty big spoonful of salt, but I like to repeat anyway: NASA supposedly shows this movie to trainees just so they can count all the hundreds of scientific inaccuracies in it.

She is isnt she? Kind of anoying, and her little "they got no lives back home so its ok to sacrifice them, but NOT the cute guy with a fiance" thing pissed me off honestly, that kind of selective-based compassion is why so much shit hapens in the world. Thats why I'm glad I stoped being like that long ago and got desenzitized. Like it or not, emotional distance as you call it gives ppl objectivity. And shes definitly not objective. Now i'm not exacly one to preach, I definitly saw (and did) things in life that maked me very emotionaly distant and hardened, to say the least, including some I'm not proud of now, but just my 2 cents on her litle selective tearing-up. I dont like it. If she felt sorry for evryone aboard equaly, thats diferent. But shes selective in who she feels sorry for, and who shuld be sacrificed, in her mind, to save a 'more valuable' person. Fuck that.

Artificial gravity is made through rotation and the use of centripetal force. It's like those carnival rides where it starts spinning and suddenly you are pinned to the wall, even if the wheel starts turning their axis and you feel like you weight a ton. The formations in the ground are not ice. They are trying to represent a fact from space. When you find a rock broke on pieces on Earth 50 years ago, the erosion from air and dust will make it a little dull, but in space with no atmosphere, a sharp end in a rock or a crystal will stay sharp almost indefinitely.

So glad you liked it... I'm semi glad no one warned you because your reaction to this is as epic as the movie is. There's so much to say about this like Liv Tylers father did the music and I highly recommend you look up the back story to this! A side note other epic world ending movies to recommend in this order ... Deep Impact, Volcano, The Core, The day after tomorrow and 2012. But back to this and some of the questions you asked. Asteroids are full of different elements including gasses and metals so explosion like that are possible and gas can be pressurized as well. Near end what you were seeing with all the pieces changing direction was the asteroid coming into earth gravity's pull and so everything was being pulled toward earth....even the big piece and it was causing it to fracture. That's all I have though without re-watching to catch every little question you asked.

29:36 "How does even a gun work in space?" Very well, actually. Modern ammunition contains all the necessary gunpowder and oxidizer to fire in complete vacuum. Test firing in airless chambers shows that guns not only fire normally but the bullets have a higher muzzle velocity and do more damage to targets due to the lack of air slowing them down.

This was around the time when 90's summer movies were populated with disaster movies that typically involved some threat destroying major cities and landmarks. Funny enough, another movie about an asteroid threatening the Earth came out only a few months earlier. It was called Deep Impact, and it plays things with a more serious tone than the pure Michael Bay excess of Armageddon. "He agreed to this? And they didn't tell him the risks? What are the risks?" The risks are pretty damn clear, Blue. Refuse to do the job and it's certain death for him and all of humanity when the asteroid hits. Go into space and blow up the asteroid, and you will only maybe probably die. A whole lot of elaboration isn't necessary. "I don't know who Dr. Seuss is, but I agree." WHAT?!? The Cat In The Hat? Green Eggs And Ham? The Grinch? He wrote all of those books and you never heard of him? What child has never heard of Dr. Seuss?!?

The official video for Aerosmith's 'Dont Wanna Close My eyes' song is really cool. It features actual military musicians playing the brass and violin parts of the song. Also, did you know the singer of Aerosmith, Steve Tyler, is Liv Tyler's father? Btw... I love your hair. It reminds of Tiffany & Co. Technically called 1837 Blue (yes, Tiffany patented their blue, 1837 is when Tiffany & Co was founded). Nice!
