I really hope Bear got that summer in the White Horse. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.
His widow did. Omorosa
"Michael Duncan, like the donuts but not spelled the same."
@krashd You made me want to simultaneously laugh and weep. I haven't decided which yet.
"Now I am really a Russian HEROOOO!!!!!!!!" and "American components, Russian components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!!!" are the funniest lines, for me at least. Peter Stormare was perfect in that role.
The bulldog attacking the Godzilla toys in the beginning of the movie is a sly "in-joke" from Michael Bay to Roland Emmerich, the director of the movie "Godzilla" which also opened in 1998...
Please consider reacting to Deep Impact (1998) which was another great, star studded asteroid disaster movie that came out the same summer as Armageddon. Armageddon got most of the recognition because it was more of the classic summer, popcorn, blockbuster type films compared to Deep Impact but the critics and actual astronauts seemed to like Deep Impact better for its accuracy. Great movie as well. Executive produced by Steven Spielberg too.
Armageddon is good for what it is, but I liked the characters and relationships better in Deep Impact.
Agree completely. Deep Impact is far superior (and I still like Armageddon).
Thank you for that suggestion. I did the same. I watched that movie with my Mom because I knew she wouldn't care for a Michael Bay movie!
Yeah, Armageddon is a tearjerker. Fun fact. Aerosmith sings "Don't Want to Miss A Thing", which is the end of the movie song. Lead singer for Aerosmith, Steven Tyler is the father of Liv Tyler who plays Bruce Willis' daughter. In the music video for the Aerosmith song directed by Francis Lawrence. They switch out the images of Bruce Willis on the screen for images of Steven Tyler when Liv Tyler is talking to the screens. Outside of Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Buscemi. A lot of the other names were very early in their careers. Liv Tyler starred in a handful of movies and her dad's music videos before this. This was Ben Affleck's first movie after Good Will Hunting fame. This was Michael Clarke Duncan's Hollywood breakout role which led him to get cast in The Green Mile. Owen Wilson was only 2 years removed from his debut in Bottle Rocket when he did Armageddon. Peter Stormare was riding a wave of popularity from his role in Fargo (1996). A very young Jason Isaacs is seen in only his third cinema movie role at the time. Seasoned actor Udo Kier is in this movie for a short moment, but he would become famous months late for his role in Blade (1998).
Man, you don't get anymore 90's blockbuster than this movie👏🏽 I remember watching this as a kid and even I got teary eyes when Harry pushed AJ back into the shuttle😭
I remember that Aerosmith song playing constantly on the radio.
No matter how many times I'm watching this, it still works: Making my eyes wet.
This was a regular movie at our house growing up.
Some films just get me every time. ❤
@@waffles4393 I DONT WANT TO CLOSE MY EYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
The best part of the dvd commentary is Ben Aflflack talking about how ridiculous the whole concept is, and when he brought it up to Michael Bay..he basically told him to shut up😂
Yeah, it's brilliant. 'Wouldn't it be easier to train astronauts to drill?' 'F- off!'
Iconic moment 😂 "Ben!....shut the duck up"
That specific criticism always bothers me. They’re not training oil drillers to be astronauts (think of everything astronauts do), they’re giving them the bare minimum training to be able to move and operate in space and low gravity in order to do the job they are the best at. Whereas they would have to train astronauts to master deep core drilling. I swear I don’t lose sleep over this lol, but I’ve seen the “why is it easier to train drillers to be astronauts instead of training astronauts to drill” question for years, and a lot of people treat it like the biggest dunk on the movie, but it always made sense to me, especially compared to all the other inaccuracies! Still a great movie and a great reaction!
One of the greatest commentaries ever lmao.
Yeah; Ben is not the sharpest tool in the toolshed. Good thing he's good looking enough to be a successful actor.
Armageddon and Independence Day is THE two summer blockbusters for me. They both have the perfect balance of seriousness, ridiculousness, stakes, humor, heart, explosions and a great cast!
Yup love both movies
Yea you’re right. These two were the peak of 90’s blockbusters that had a real patriotic feel to them as well.
When Harry & Grace spoke under the concrete structure, it showed a plaque. You may have missed it. It was the launch pad for Appollo 1. Appollo 1 team of Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Roger Chaffee & Edward White were in the capsule doing checks several days prior to their launch. This meant the capsule fully pressurized with oxygen. At some point, a spark occured and the ensuing fire incinerated the crew. They were unable to open the hatch to escape. It is now a permanent monument to the dangers of space travel
Armageddon was a summer smash… and quite possibly the LOUDEST soundtrack of any movie in theaters that year. You shook, your Pepsi shook, everyone shook.
I remember sitting about 3 rooms down from a theater playing this movie, and we were all watching 1998 Godzilla, and parts of Godzilla we could here. It was a super fun movie-going experience.
"Nothing will survive, not even bacteria"... quite a sense of finality in that statement.
Girls: Why can't dudes let their emotions out more when watching movies?
Dudes after watching "We win Gracie!": 😢
I saw this in theaters when I was a kid and nobody was able to not cry to this. I remember my mom absolutely bawling her eyes out. And there were some big, buff guys there who were openly weeping when Harry wouldn't let AJ go through with it. It's a great movie and the epitome of a 1990's action blockbuster/popcorn movie. I've seen this movie so many times and it's still entertaining to this day.
we saw this in the theatre. the whole place was sobbing, laughing, and having a great time. Really good movie.
For a film from over 25 years ago, it still looks quite modern in cinematography, FX, editing and sound, and has aged excellently.
yes it was from the time they had good enough CGI to make things look good but still did as much in camera with practical effects they could, not like modern movies that CGI in half the super hero's costumes.
I saw this movie in Taiwan in the theatre in English with Chinese subtitles when it first came out. In the scene where the cosmonaut says "American components, Russian components, all made in Taiwan" the audience read the Chinese subtitles first before the English dialog and bust into laughter while I, who was just learning Chinese, was going "what, what?"
😆
This movie is fun, goofy and suprisingly emotionally moving. It makes me cry everytime.
This is one of the best movies from the 90's, great cast, story and music.
Bruce thank you for all the many films you made to entertain us. Now is the time to be with family and loved ones. ❤
FYI- The Mathew Broderick Godzilla movie came out that same summer. That's why the dog was attacking Godzilla toys in the opening.
Deep Impact Also
Your reaction was all of us in the late 90s!
I think of this as the quintessential 90s blockbuster. It's overwhelming with Bay action, comedy, drama, and a solid core of heart. Michael Bay rarely aims for emotion so it's kind of surprising how effective the ending is.
Speak for yourself not everyone else.
Classic “popcorn” summer movie!!
I tear up every time at the end and when the mom says “that’s not a salesman, it’s your daddy”
The actress who plays the mom in this movie is Judith Hoag, who also played Gwen Piper in Halloweentown (1998).
@@alextan1478she was also April in the live action TMNT films
I'm going to throw in the obligatory "if you watched Armageddon, you have to watch Deep Impact" if you haven't already Addie!
She cried in Armageddon, she'll be in the fetal position after Deep Impact.
This - it's a mandatory followup.
Also Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World.
That shit is going to make you cry.
Good Call. I did the same!
Ok but honestly Armageddon is WAY better movie than Deep Impact.
Oh for sure! For sure!
Arwen and Batman, the multiverse we needed.
John McClain, Luscious Malfoy, Daredevil, Kingpin,
@jkhoover McClane*, Lucius but he CAN be Luscious, if you want.
And April O'Neil!!!
Don't worry Addie, I STILL tear up for just about every reason you did. This reaction was no exception.
When Liv Tyler was talking to the screen, she was actually talking to her father, Steven Tyler.
I remember watching this in my college dorm common room with two of my buddies. It got to the end and we were crying. Girls walked by laughing at us. Their loss 😂
Girls want us to be vulnerable, but when we are vulnerable, they laugh and tell us to toughen up. We can't win.😆
Gay af
For real. I pity their boyfriends. Lol
Will Patton is a highly underrated actor. I love his villainous turn as the post apocalyptic Warlord General Bethlehem in The Postman.
Try Yellowstone.
Entrapment
@@jaykay3784I have seen that movie in 20 yrs. I don’t remember him being in it. I just remember Sean Connery and CZJ (sexy self!).
This was the time of dueling movies deep impact/ Armageddon, Twister/Tornado, ID4/ Arrival, etc. Ideas was pushed by two movie houses at the same time and often even shared more than the basic plot. The quaid brothers opposed each other in similar films. The twister,tornado shared a sensor that had to be anchored.
*"The Arrival", Arrival is a 2016 movie starring that ginger chick that was selling purses in that one episode of the office (US version).
I saw the premier of this movie with a packed theater. I don't think I've ever been to a movie, before or since, where the audience reacted so much throughout the movie. People were laughing loudly at the funny parts and audibly sobbing at the emotional ones. That scene where Harry was talking to Grace at the end through a screen even prompted the men in the theater, including myself, to do the macho yawn, stretch, wipe the tear move while your date had her tears flowing. It was truly the most entertaining movie I have ever been to. Great reaction!!
35:30 this scene between Grace and Harry was the entire reason why they got Aerosmith to do the soundtrack; the producers were showing Steve Tyler scenes in their pitch, and the scene broke Steve, he reported that he was a mass of tears, sobbing about how he’ll do the music.
My favorite film that puts together Liv Tyler, Bruce Willis and AFLAC! 🦆
This movie combined with the soundtrack of Aerosmith's I Don't Want To Miss a Thing is chef's kiss.
This movie hits ALL the emotions.
You think this is emotional, watch Deep Impact
Thanks for your genuine reaction. You are right that this movie has everything (a lot of things) and they managed to combine the elements well together. that's hard.
adventure, action, explosions, comedy, romance, relationships, thrilling, high stakes, huge mission, team work, joy, fulfilling, storyline, superb casts, acting performances, believable decisions making, music, camera work, props and sets are cool. For a 25 years old movie, the CGI is fantastic. And because its 3 hours long, there is enough time to build up the storyline and relationships for us to care with emotions.
In rest in peace to a legend Bruce Willis...... is family is all around him and they don't expect him to be with us much longer....... one of the best actors ever.... rest in peace
For me the most sorrowful scene was the death of Freddy Noonan. Gets me every time I see it.
Every time I see this, I try not to cry at the Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler goodbye scene. Every time I end up crying. It's such a great movie.
I like how Addie went from a light romantic movie fan completely oblivious to the sci fi genre to it being one of her favourites now 😀
This was a wild movie in the theater, with the explosions being really big. All the actors played their roles perfectly. Really great reaction Addie.
You might not know the significance of the Aerosmith song at the end “don’t want to miss a thing”. Obviously representing the father-daughter relationship in the film, the song was written and performed by the real life father of Liv Tyler, who played Gracie.
Addie, For more of Owen Wilson (and Jackie Chan) check out Shanghai Noon, a Funny Western. Also the sequel Shanghai Knights is really good as well.
Such a great one, and yes it has fun, emotion, ALL THE THINGS! What a great movie!
The little dog is like "The darndest thing just happened. I'm sure glad that my leash is on a harness and not just a collar around my neck."
Probably seen this about 50 times and i am still full of tears at multiple parts of it, just shows how good it is
Saw this in the theater, remember wondering why they came up through the debris-strewn tail of the thing, dodging boulders. The drill site was where they could look up at the Earth, so the leading part. They couldn't have flown up from the moon, parallel to the thing's path, synchronized with thrusters, and softly touched down on the Earth-facing side, without flying through a rock storm to get there?
Trailing debris behind a comet or asteroid is cone shaped with the leading edge being the point of the cone despite it appearing the opposite when viewing them.
The only semi safe place to be if chasing them is behind the direct axis of travel.
To make it even worse, they mention that the axis of the asteroid's rotation is skewed from the direct path of the asteroid.
Which means that the direct approach from the rear would still be littered with some debris crossing it's path, but still safer than trying to parallel it's path and dive in once you cross it's shedding wake.
We just don't have space engines nimble enough to dance around at the speeds they were moving.
@@highlander31527 Even if the debris field is cone shaped, at whatever angle of cone that may be, the shuttle could still have paralleled the asteroid's path until it pulled up alongside and matched speed. The lunar slingshot gave them the speed to catch up, as they did. They pulled up to it, dodging its debris (which required a lot more 'nimbleness' than I'm suggesting), fired braking thrusters so as to not fly right past, and executed a soft landing. I'm just saying do that same catching up and braking a couple kilometers off to the side in empty space. No extra nimbleness required, as every movement I'm describing is virtually what they did do, just in a different location. Once they pull up alongside and match speed, the asteroid appears to the spacecraft to be relatively immobile. Attitude thrusters could move them over to proximity and a much softer landing than they did execute.
@@billparrish4385 The abrupt change of direction required for a vessel to dodge and then approach an asteroid rotating on even a 5 degree axis tilt off of the direction that it is traveling is so far beyond our technological achievements now that we cannot conceive of even the math needed to plan it, much less plot it on the fly when it happens.
Stop pretending you are some expert.
Every single degree of tilt rotation offset of the asteroid's direction of travel adds something like ten thousand variations of debris shedding, to say nothing of their speed of travel.
@@highlander31527 I don't think I'm the one pretending they're some expert here. You're talking about a specific number of degrees off of a direction that was never given in the film. All we know of the maneuver is Billy Bob's 'Road Runner' illustration with models. The fact is, they knew where the moon was, they knew where the asteroid was and its trajectory. They knew where the debris was. They could just as easily have plotted a course that put their path a short distance over from where it ended up, executed the same exact braking as they did, just in a different location, then gone in for the easy landing. In order to object to that simple scenario, you've invented all kinds of unnecessary jogging around, apparently following some unpredictable moving target that the film did not depict. All these objects' trajectories were known, and every action I'm describing could have been planned out before the launch. All with no more exotic math than they used. You're just trolling at this point, and I'm no longer biting. Geez!
My favorite line:
“Move aside! You don’t know the components!”
“American components, Russian components… All made in Taiwan!”
I cried, too, Addie. Of course, I cry any time a movie is good enougn - even with Afleck in it - that I find myself watching it anyway.
In the beginning of the movie where the dog is attacking the Godzilla toy. That was a subtle symbolism of what this movie was gonna do to Godzilla in the box office. These movies released at around the same time.
This Armageddon movie made a DEEP IMPACT on me. 😭😭😭 BTW another good Bruce Willis film is "Tears of the Sun" (2003). And Michael Bay's "The Island (2005) is a great scifi action flick starring a young Scarlett Johansson, Ewan McGregor, Michael Clarke Duncan and Steve Buscemi.
I second Tears of the Sun (2003). It also has Tom Skeritt (Dallas in Alien (1979) & Viper from Top Gun (1986)) in it. #TearsOfTheSunForAddieCounts
I also second The Island (2005). It's one of my favorite Michael Bay movies. #TheIslandForAddieCounts
The is the quintessential popcorn movie which I have seen, easily, 15+ times.. the slapstick comedy and tense drama works to perfection.
I think Addie felt similar to me as Will Paton's arc hits me the most , especially his last scene , walking along the runway,thinking he has lost his only friend and has no one else, and then sees his son...😢
“Deep Impact”. Same premise but less explosions and yelling.
Just for the record, you've also "seen" Michael Clarke Duncan in Kung Fu Panda, in a smaller role as the prison warden.
✌😁
Steven Tyler wrote this song 🎵 for the soundtrack because his daughter was a star in the movie 🎬 they wanted the father/daughter connection. Which was really cool 😎.
Now you got to watch "Deep Impact" which came out in the same year.
Charelton Heston’s voice was so awesome for narration.
I love how meteorites always seem to be aimed at New York City, London, and Paris.
When this movie came out, it was in direct competition with the movie "Deep Impact" as they both had similar themes. "Armageddon" was like an action/adventure/sci-fi film, while "Deep Impact" was more of drama/action movie. I liked "Armageddon" but I really LOVED "Deep Impact" and I strongly recommend seeing it.
Agreed Armageddon is a great action movie, but Deep Impact is a fantastic film, let's just say it's way more 'impactful' 😉
She cried in Armageddon, she'll be in the fetal position after Deep Impact.
18:14 Space just got a whole lot more appealing, now that I know Addie is the hostess that welcomes us when we get there...
You should also give “Deep Impact” a watch. Another movie that came out around the same time that is the same basic story, but takes more of a drama look at the people facing destruction and less of an action, spaceman movie.
Hi Addie, I so appreciate how you watch movies because you want to see them, then make your own judgements. And don't always listen to naysayers. You appreciate cinema as the fun adventure it's supposed to be. This one always makes me cry, too! Please keep doing it your way! Enjoyed watching with you.😊❤
Still to this day one of the only movies that can make me cry
My ultimate cry movie 😂. I know, I know but I ugly face cry every time!
The captions on Ollie's translation...😂😂😂❤
This film was used as a training film for actual astronauts to see if they could spot the enormous numbers of mistakes in it.
25 years later still one of the best of saying goodbye scene in movies, and in the B.Willies movie where often someone has to stay behind.
Seen this movie tons of times. Always get emotional.
I give this movie credit for a unique way to introduce our main cast - by interacting with the 2 leads running around in conflict which also sets the sub-plot.
I read long ago that Bruce Willis recommended Michael Clarke Duncan for "The Green Mile" after working with him in this.
One of my favorite movies ever. I've read a lot about the many scientific inaccuracies about this movie, but that does stop me from loving it. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, it packs a powerful emotional punch and I love the characters. This was released right around the same time as Deep Impact and I found myself liking Armageddon better, but Deep Impact has its own things that make it a great movie. Harry's sacrifice gets me every single time. And I love the musical score for this film; it was beautiful. One of my favorite things about this movie that I recognized right away when I saw this in theaters was the narration from the beginning of the movie by the legendary Charlton Heston. He starred in a disaster movie once or twice during his acting career. Another movie I recommend that I first saw as a little boy in the 1970's was the 1951 film When Worlds Collide. That is one I still watch from time to time. For 1951, the special and visual effects are quite good.
Hey Addie, I just wanted to say how much I've come to appreciate your videos, and that I watch every single one of them. A few months ago when I first found your channel, I think I left a rude comment, I can't quite remember what I said but it had something to do with expressing disbelief that you hadn't watched/heard of almost any movies. I think I said something like you must have been living under a rock, lol. I don't know where my head was at when I said that, but I wanted to take the opportunity to apologise for it now. I really enjoy your reactions and you always pick great films to watch. I'm glad you share your first-time watching experiences with us. Thank you
I love how the main song is sang by her dad, and its written for her... its such a perfect song for this movie.
Fun fact the song playing during the ending credits was by Steven Tyler and he wrote it for his daughter Liv Tyler who plays Grace in the movie
A great reaction to a great movie. Thank you Addie
From IMDB: "NASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found." Who cares. It's entertainment. I was entertained 1998, and I was entertained seeing Addie reacting to it.
“you ain’t scared” oh dear that was funny
I love this movie. It's so much fun, and takes you on such an emotional rollercoaster. I really like that they take the time to establish so many of the major characters early on, so that you get to know them, and are invested in their survival. There are a few characters who didn't get any individual screen time, and when they die, there's not a lot of impact, but when Owen Wilson's character or Max (sorry, can't remember the actor's name) die, you feel it.
This was one of my favourite movies growing up!
One of the GREATEST movies of all time. Bruce Willis became John Wayne in this film. ❤ your reaction Addie
36:26 Percussive Maintenence is a well known strategy
I love your reactions Addie!
Love watching movies with you, Addie! ❤❤❤
One of the best movies made...hits all the categories/feels...Love how you add-libed your pup...that was a highlight!
Lev, the Russian cosmonaut is probably my favorite out of the bunch.
This movie still manages to draw a tear, no matter how many times I watch it.
The doggo subtitles you edit in always get a good laugh out of me. 😂

As a father of a daughter, the ending just tears me up!😢
I lost my daughter 17 years ago. There is "not" a day that goes by that as a "dad" that I wouldn't have traded places. I get your sentiment. Love her always for the mistakes and for the joy.
@@davidward9737 🥺May God give you peace knowing that she is waiting for you 🙏
In case you haven't seen it yet: Interstellar (2014) is another excellent film featuring a father/daughter relationship.
@@bigdream_dreambig I have and you are absolutely 100% correct! A tearjerker for sure!
I Believe "DON'T LOOK UP" Is The Logical Progression... Troy from Atlantic City
Great reaction ❤ no matter how many times I watch this, it always ages me shed a tear 😢
He may have dopped of with some of his more recent films, but Michael Bay has made some amazing films
I'm not crying, I just have some dust in my eyes!
Watching this breaks my heart thinking of Bruce and his family.
😊 another great reaction A. I remember seeing this one in the theater back in the day. Still a great apocalyptic movie. Welcome to space. 🛸 👽 🌖
I was on an army base.
Some other good space, disaster thrillers that I would recommend would be Deep Impact and The Core.
Also about your comments that there were a lot of explosions in the beginning (and really all through out the movie), that is probably it was a Michael Bay movie. Michael Bay is famous for liking lots of explosions in his movies. The Transformers movie series is a good example of having lots of explosions. I do admit it makes it look cool and more entertaining, but sometimes it can be overdone haha.
the easter egg- godzilla was the competitor at the time
If I remember right, this movie was the first Father/Daughter movie where the Daughter (Liv Tyler) Starred in the movie while her Father (Steven Tyler of Aerosmith) did the Sound Track for the movie. Steven Tyler wrote the song "Don't Wanna miss a Thing" just for this movie. Addie, I'm really glad that you enjoyed this movie.
Steven Tyler didn't write the song. It was written by Diane Warren, who originally envisioned it would be performed by "Celine Dion or somebody like that".
Steven Tyler didn't want to do it all until he watched a clip of the final scenes between Grace and Harry.
@@toodlescae my mistake. He atleast sang it for this movie.
@@jamesdee759 yup and it's a fantastic song.
@@toodlescae yea it is. I'm glad that someone like Steven Tyler was able to sing/perform it and help make it a hit like it deserves to be.
One of my top 5 movies. Love this movie. Glad you finally got to see it. Yes, I will admit I cry every time
The space station they docked with at around 19:00 was the Russian space station, Mir, it was the only space station up there at the time as the International Space Station would not start being built for another year or two, it was crewed around the clock by at least one Russian at all times. This movie makes out that Mir was a ramshackle station with a drunk cosmonaut as crew but realistically it was a pretty good station with professional crew. Michael Bay just likes to direct movies that make Americans look great and everyone else amateurish.
I've seen this movie 20 times. I cry every time.
I think everyone gets a little teary eyed watching how this movie ends
This is one of the best ever movies for Daughters to watch with their Dads. never fails to bring out the laughs and the cries!
Addie was so intense watching this movie. Great reaction. Beautiful. Love it.
