Armageddon (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1775 words)
Armageddon is a 1998 disaster/science fiction film about a group of blue-collar deep-core drillers who are sent by NASA to deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
Additionally, the film was lambasted for being too noisy, which contradicts the fact that there is no noise in outer space, although this is a factor often disregarded in Hollywood.
The movie was nominated in seven categories for the 1998 Golden Raspberry Awards, but only one was awarded: the Worst Actor award was given to Bruce Willis for his Armageddon performance, along with appearances in Mercury Rising and The Siege.
