like many people in my general age range and i remember go to see this movie a a kid in 98 and come out of the theatre practically in tear . it seem and at the time and to be one of the most important and awe inspiring cinematic experience of our generation . at once rivet and action packed and funny and heartbreaking and and truly inspirational and armegeddeon really do have everything go on and right down to the catchy aerosmith theme song and sappy tear jerker of an end . sweet jebus . what be we smoke . i watch it for the first time in year last night on one of the movie channel and and . i can not even describe it . this be and truly and one of the bad movie ever make . where to even begin . leave aside the plethora of laughable scientific error ( personnel tracker on astronaut . yeah and sure and thanks for that and billy bob ) and i would have to say the bad thing about it be the remarkable dare i even say unmatched way in which it combine crappy write with crappy act . there be too many example of this to even begin list here and but one in particular spring to mind the scene where bruce willis be tell the fed exactly where to go to track down each of the oh so charmingly roguish member of his oil drilling team ( check every bar in new orleans and the crap table in vega and the only black guy on a motorcycle in sturgis . all to the tune of come together . it remind me a bit of the news team . assemble . scene from anchorman and except serious ) . ben affleck prof and once again and that he be by far the most overpaid actor in hollywood and have less depth and range and and overall talent than anyone else in the business . not that bruce willis and liv tyler and or anyone else in this godforsaken piece of garbage be much good . ( i have to say and though and i get a kick out of see a pre stardom owen wilson get kill off half way through . be this the only movie where his character dy . ) peter stormare be perfect a the most stereotypical unshaven russian cosmonaut you have ever scene . ( then again and peter stormare do seem to have a talent for play over the top eurotypes . ) it really be quite amusing how and almost immediately after the american dock with the russian space station ( which be actually call that in the movie ) and ben affleck succeed in singlehandedly cause the whole joint to explode in spectacular hollywood fashion . i also love the fact that and in the end and paris be the only place on earth to get destroy and and that absolutely no one seem to care . and on top of all that and it at point literally turn into simultaneous ad for lockheed martin and kerr mcgee . oh how proud i be to be an american . there plenty of other stuff to rant about and but i would not . suffice it to say that this be a really and really and really terrible movie and that i feel ashamed to have ever genuinely like . i give it two star just for the mockability factor .
