terrible... so disappointed.

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Excellent but underrated film

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Something called "energy displacement" attacks our planet Earth. In the great American northwest, a man's midsection is hit by a meteorite. Ouch. The threat is formidable. It's a sucking "White Hole". The opposite of a Black Hole, which sucks matter in, the "White Hole sucks matter out." By now, you have probably guessed how the White Hole manifests itself. That's right, it stops the Earth from turning on its axis. This looks like a job for Superman, but he's not around... We do have FBI agent Robert Knepper (as John Streich) and his slightly rebellious teenage son Cameron Bright (as Andy). He has perfect eyebrows. They are assisted by beautifully-figured Julia Benson (as Chloe Edwards) and pretty Julia Maxwell (as Michelle Fulton). Possibly mad scientist Bruce Davison (as Kingsley Rothman) plays the veteran actor in a supporting role. The cameras are unsteady, but director W.D. Hogan keeps cast members in range.*** Armageddon 2012/ Earth's Final Hours (6/1/11) W.D. Hogan ~ Robert Knepper, Julia Benson, Cameron Bright, Bruce Davison

While the theme is a great one and the movie does keep the suspense high. Too many times one has to wonder what is going on. Government cover-up is always expected and the Secretary is determined to save the elite few regardless of the cost (while maintaining his reputation). However, when Streich breaks Rothman out of the CIA's prison and they know they have been seen escaping, the trio sits down and chats until they are shot at. Shortly after, with the the FBI in hot foot pursuit of our escaping trio, Streich stops in the middle of the road to chew out his son giving the FBI plenty of time to catch up and back shoot Rothman.Even the final fight scene, Streich does not indicate that not only is his life on the line but the whole world can be destroyed, but rather that he does not really want to hurt his boss.

Okay, so I'm not known to be over-generous with my comments but this film promised much but never delivered! My incredulity was stretched to the limit within the first couple of minutes - a small piece of 'white hole debris' hits Earth and 'coincidentally' strikes the very scientist who's been searching for It!! Then, this stuff having made a hole In his chest the size of a Soccer ball, he manages to speak a couple of lines before he dies - despite the fact that his heart and lungs are clearly gone! Now,this debris has caused the Earth to stop rotating, slowing down over the next few hours until It will eventually stop altogether - bad news for all as the end of the world Is here! As the earth slows, a kind of 'fire-lightening' caused by cosmic rays getting through the emerging gaps In the Earths magnetic field, begin to strike people - but not members of the random public,It appears - just nasty FBI men and other baddies In the movie!(That Is, except the FBI man who helps his son to save the Earth!) I appreciate Science-based movies which respect the limits and possibilities of physics, and after all,quantum Physics and string theory are weird and amazing enough to fuel science-fiction films to the end of time,but this one Is just plain silly. Not once do we see whats going on In other parts of the world or even on the streets of the US - It seems that only the main characters are witnessing and\or suffering from the Earth-slowing effects. A terrible script - much more could have been done with the subject matter - and where the nearly £2 million budget went I could'n't say. What I will say Is -give It a miss.

This movie is a total waste of time. Trailer looked good but don't be fooled.. Too many far fetched inconsistencies and coincidences.. Throw darts the floor if you want to have more fun.It starts with one of the only people who knows how to save the world getting a hole blown through his chest where his heart and lungs used to be, and somehow manages to talk.Don't bother watching it.. How it was ever rated a 7.9 is beyond me, must have been based on 2 votes.
