Title: Criticism speaks more of the soul of the critic...
Review: ARMAGEDDON, critics notwithstanding, is an intense and entertaining film dealing with human character in the face of overwhelming challenge. The very idea that humanity--or at least some of it--could be able to rise above the everyday, pull together, and defy mindless destruction is the concept which must frighten the timid souls who "didn't get it" or didn't like it. As for the physics? Remember that Bradbury wrote many superb tales without an entirely firm grasp of physics. The idea of heroism and of our potential in space is the idea here, folks, and perhaps that's such a stinging rebuke to those feeble and fearful who make cuts to the space program and disparage films such as this.
Is the review positive or negative?
