The Background: As we're introduced to the main characters on an oil rig, we soon discover that AJ (Ben Affleck) is secretly dating his boss's daughter (Liv Tyler). So, when that boss, Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) finds out, he grabs his shotgun and goes hunting. On a highly flammable oil rig.
The Destruction: There's surprisingly little destruction, but there's a lot of noise, as Harry's gun shots ricochet around the oil rig while he hunts down AJ. The entire team are yelling for him to stop because he momentarily forgets that he's on an oil rig, firing a gun.

Whoever was the science advisor on Armageddon should never work again.

Put together like that the 'bayhem' is even more meaningless and stupid - and a lot less impressive - than when seeing it one movie at at time. I don't mind, though the slum-destruction is quite tasteless.

Transformers 2007 - that was not a SEAL team more of a joint operations team as it was comprised of Army and Air Force not Navy

Army NEST team with an Airforce guy for calling in air support IIRC. FYI though, the 'slum' in Bad boys 2 is a massive drugs factory, hence all the explosions- they're not just dehousing the poor :p

writerdave87 - It's only a movie, not a documentary on the perils of space travel. "Bad" science has been a staple of movies and TV shows for decades (from CSI to Star Wars - Lightsabers are against everything science tells us) and if we wanted to, we could nit-pick every single thing committed to film about a scientific flaw of some description.

True, but they did actually have a science advisor... and absolutely nothing about the space travel or asteroid was even close to accurate, and there are some massive holes.

I'm pretty sure it was the Chrysler Building which came down in Armageddon, not the ESB. Some writers who know the subject matter would really be apprecaited TF. This is happening far too often.

@mrfixit....both get taken out....the Chrysler Building is collapsing and the ESB gets hit by a meteor through the roof.... I love the work of Michael Bay...by far the best action director....he really delivers. Critics don't get it....most of the audience do.... And The Rock is a true classic!
