Movie
Armageddon is fast-paced, with lots and lots of special effects and loud noises. It's your typical summer blockbuster. Not much character development, no script, flimsy subplot, but an enormous amount of action is poured into this 2 � hour meteor movie. The fate of the Earth is left in the hands of a top notch oil driller (Bruce Willis). He and his rag tag co-workers are sent into space to try stop a giant meteor, presumably the size of Texas (although that's impossible).

Disc
The features are very limited and none are worth talking about. The audio will work your sound system. The video has solid colors with no fading or dryness to detect, even though the image could be sharper. The transfer for the Criterion version is much better and it has tons of extras. In all, a very lazy effort from the Disney folks.

Overall
Now that the Criterion version is out, it's a no-brainer. Don't get this version. If you have it already, burn it or sell it to some sucker.
