Movie night. Armageddon is horrible, cheesey goodness.

It’s terrible, but I still get chills at the end when all the kids are running around and the flags are unfurled with the swelling music.
If you want to see a truly horrible, laughable movie, check out Final Descent with Robert Urich and Annette O’Toole. They play airline pilots (and lovers) whose plane is struck in midair. The collision damages the elevators and they are stuck in a climb. They have to figure out how to get the nose down. I’ll spoil the end for you if you like. It’s so implausible as to be ludicrous.

Say what you want, but Michael Bay knows how to tug the heartstrings.

My uncle and his youngest son are aviation mechanics, and his eldest is a pilot, while I’m just a nerd. Watching the Airport movies together is, interesting, to say the least.

Yeah, I’m an aerospace engineer who has worked in commercial aviation for a long time. I had to learn to turn that part of my brain off a long time ago while watching movies. There is so much stuff wrong with Armageddon that would have been so, so easy to fix, but no.

it was that bad? in comparison to what just came out from him, armageddon is a 4 star movie swimming in accolades. There were plenty of fun moments and action parts.
“Yeah, I remember this one. It’s where the, uh, the coyote sat his ass
down in a slingshot then he strapped himself to an Acme rocket. Is that -
is that what we’re doin’ here?
“Because it didn’t work out to well for the coyote.”

That’s the thing, the movie actually has a plot and pauses so people can talk. That was back when Bay knew how to do that.

They have to at least make an effort. “The Martian” was reasonably good in that regard, though Dude would have been BARBECUED by the radiation while he was meandering 500 miles across the Martian surface. And they wouldn’t have put GLASSWARE on the Hermes, and all the three-ring binders in the outpost station? Sheesh.
We just watched “Intersteller” and I found it surprisingly fun and engaging.
But I guess we are talking about airplane movies here, so how about Snakes on a Plane?
