A great piece of dialogue. I don’t care what anyone says. Nobody connects action and emotion like Michael Bay does. Also, credit to Trevor Rabin for this legendary score. He managed to hit every note. From the intensity to the feelings of failure and love.
@@theoppenheimerprojects2867 A consistent theme in the comment sections of basically every clip from this film are how emotionally powerful it is. And that's absolutely deserved, Armageddon excels at this.
The way Max wails, "Harrrryyyy!!!" always hits me hard. In that instant he sounds like a child begging for his father to save him. It has a vibe of "Harry can do anything! Harry can save me!" childish hopefulness. I think Harry himself feels it as he watches helplessly as Max's armadillo is blown away. It's heartrending...
That would happen in the real world too if a giant stone was comming our way. Those journalists have families too. So they would just end all transmissions to respect the few hours left they have to live.

1:40 to end. I remember watching this in the theater almost twenty years ago. I'd seen quite a few doomsday movies (ID4, etc.) but this was the first time I truly felt the world wouldn't make it. Superb acting, filming, and music.
@@russell5078084 oh ok..I enjoyed the first half of it...but seeing the world actually end was a nice change from hollywood always charging to the rescue lol!
2:17 As a father, that dad looking down while his son looks through the binoculars is f'ing heartbreaking. The realization that his son will be dead in less than an hour and there is nothing he can do is crushing.
Well, technically, it would take 3 hours and 57 minutes for the meteor to strike the Earth after reaching the Zero Barrier, meaning the kid would have less than FIVE hours left of his life. But you ARE correct: it IS a heartbreaking scene either way.😢
When it seemed like all hope was lost, it was only when Harry spotted something in the distance, the light of an approaching vehicle - The Armadillo from the Independence and when he saw the second Armadillo arrive - Hope was restored, even more so when he discovered the ones driving the vehicle, AJ, Lev and Bear, who survived the shuttle crash. There was no need to give the world bad news now. These astronauts have a hole to finish!
One thing I appreciate is the shot of everybody around the world. Most people would be looting, burning down cities, but when the end comes, most of the world would be with loved ones and/or making peace with their maker.
I've watched a lot of horror movies in the past, but this is by far the scariest movie scene I've ever seen. Everyone, all at once, gives up all hope that they had left, and prepares for the inevitable, Damn.
Then it gives you unbelievable hope later on when the second armadillo arrives. Harry and his crew are just moping around, totally broken. Lost. And its like a godsend that AJ and the very few survivors from the other shuttle have made it. The job for all mankind carries on.
The way the NASA crew stay at their positions to continuing monitoring and warning of impacts is sort of reminiscent of the Titanic crew who knew no matter what they were going to die but still had a job to do.
I audio-recorded this from a VHS copy I owned the film. This was the early 2000's in Oz, and I was in Grade 9 in High School at the time; I would play it almost every time I ever got an unfavourable result - from almost any Assessment I attempted during my time there. In looking back, It was my total comfort blanket - in the sense that a Bad result in school could never come close in comparison to whatever global issue our Planet happened to be facing at the time, especially if the World ever happened to face its very own extinction !
1 of the hardest to see scenes of the movie. And that'd really happen of people scramble to their families. The sirens gives me chills. That happening to Paris too
(Drill breaks) Rock: "Well this is god damn Greek tragedy." Harry: "We've all seen broken drill heads before." Chic: "Not after 10 feet." "Rock: I've never seen one." Harry: "Well now you've seen one."
The sequence at 1:40 in the clip where you hear the doomsday siren start sounding gave me chills and a couple nightmares as a kid and still gives me goosebumps to this day
Whenever Max was yelling it sounded like he said “I’m bailing” and pressed something that’s when he flew off, almost as if he intentionally let the machine fly off knowing it’s what was causing all the damage, he probably sacrificed himself so they’d at least have a slight chance and not get everyone killed
I think what makes this scene chilling is that the scenario is not that far off of what reality would be like in such an event of a huge meteor coming at us and knowing certain death is hours away
l remember when this movie came out critics were saying that it is as much fun to watch as it is scientifically inaccurate...but ah i dont really care as long as it is entertaining
@@uknow1377 lol, going to a shelter despite knowing everyone is doomed, is an act of cowardice. The religious people showed more acceptance of the situation even though it’s a movie, The scene with the granddaughter and grandpa they show more dignity than you.
The pan handler looking up @ the sky always gets me. Knowing how the world has been & seeing how people are the coward while youre out facing a asteroid "global killer" shows you who has & always will have heart to the end. 🙌🏼
Actually, I can quite literally relate to that. I spent quite a few years rage gaming. I still snap a bit, punch my keyboard and what not, but I keep my cool these days for most part.

He was trying to disengage the drilling but the pressure from the gas pocket was too much that reversing would of resulted the same way. Max was dead no matter what.
Max: Im bailing Armadillo breaks away from the asteroid and explodes harry: MAXXXXXXX!!!! Rockhound: goodbye max Harry: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!! Rockhound: take care buddy
All the world retreats underground. Except the French. They're still out dancing in their 2CV's. I wonder where the asteroid will hit... or did they come out again after they learned it's going to be a direct hit and their vaults won't help them anyway?

+Damar158 I think he died as he got cooked alive inside fairly quickly. The movie seemed to indicate that.
+WolfySnackrib666 That and if you look closely, the cockpit of the Armadillo got smashed against a rock, and he wasn't wearing his helmet...
NO! Not smashed?! :O

A moment of silence for the hero Max
Whenever Max was yelling it sounded like he said “I’m bailing” and pressed something that’s when he flew off, almost as if he intentionally let the machine fly off knowing it’s what was causing all the damage, he probably sacrificed himself so they’d at least have a slight chance and not get everyone killed
I'm pretty sure he said, "I'm baking.," like whatever the Armadillo had hit was making the temperature in the cabin skyrocket until it combusted.
I think what makes this scene chilling is that the scenario is not that far off of what reality would be like in such an event of a huge meteor coming at us and knowing certain death is hours away
