It's pretty long and boring for some people, and the endingis very tragic, but the special effects are amazing! For some reason, Bruce Willis got the Razzie Award for "Worst Actor" in this movie, but I think he did an amazing job! The soundtrack is also amazing! The language is pretty strong: "f*ck" is used twice, "godd*mn" is used about fifty times, and "sh*t" is used a few times. It's also extremely violent, but it's not bloody in any way.

What Parents Need to Know
About Armageddon
Parents need to know that there are a few sexual references (one major conflict is that the main character's daughter is sleeping with one of his men) and some strong language, but it is the intensity of the action that is the real cause of the PG-13 rating. Parents should also note that several major characters die. The age recommendation above is only for kids who enjoy that kind of roller-coaster style excitement.

a beautifly filmed kinetic action film
Michael Bay's Armageddon is simply a great action movie. It has some of the best cinemotography and editing of all time.
