Too long annoying and loud to be a trash comedy film, too "adult" to be a film for 5 year olds, which is the only intelligence this movie can go with, too ridiculous in effects to be believable by any person more than 10 years old, as the "fiery meatballs"from space are bad for even tv cartoons,main characters with the intelligence of the above ages playing with gi goe figures,and the "science"is so retarded and inaccurate that it makes "plan 9 from outer space" look like hyperspace physics from an alien race with 50 million years of supercognitive and psionic evolution. Don't watch it.

I enjoyed every seconds. It contains both action, drama and sci-fi. Another nice thing is that the movie lasts 3 hours. No more to say. Need to watch!

This film was everything you would want in an Apocalypse or end of the world movie. It had a plot that was reasonable to go along with, great acting and directing and an immortal song. I am astounded by the low rating on IMDb, I guess people can't appreciate a great film. I had high expectations before I watched it and this film more than exceeded it. It had some iconic scenes and was just beautifully made. I wish I was old enough to have watched it at the theaters because it would have been a life changing experience. The beauty of this film is was uplifting despite its sad moments. Many felt emotional when Bruce Willis made the ultimate sacrifice and his speech from out of space is probably one of the best in film. I am worried for those who can't appreciate the beauty in this film. The movies are an experience and this was larger than life. Despite its silly rating on here it is still popular and memorable. Highly recommended, this should be on your bucket list.

The only things missing from this farce were Murray, Belushi, Aykroyd, Guttenberg, and Candy.Sheesh. This movie could not figure out what it wanted to be. An epic story of saving mankind or a slapstick comedy. Trying to be both, it missed the mark.Thanks to the fantastic cast, not all was lost. But it seemed like a big-budget variation of a SyFy channel movie. The "special effects" were way overdone and beyond any possible semblance of the realm of reality. The idea that a band of oil rigging roughnecks could learn to fly a spaceship in a few days is an insult to everyone in the space program. The idea that we could land a spaceship going 22,500 mph on a meteor moving 22,500 mph is beyond ludicrous. And the movie should have been about an hour shorter.Otherwise, I loved it.4 stars only because I liked most of the cast.About my reviews: I do not offer a synopsis of the film -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very Good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A Classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating)
