Great Film overall

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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!

Let's see where do I begin:The shuttles fly around in space like X-Wing fightersall of the aircraft in space make whooshing noisesThe astroid looks like an alien planet complete with weird alien screaming noises American space shuttles apparently have the ability to dock to a Russian space station The drilling machines have Gatling guns on them The astroid has a stronger gravitational pull than the moon I could do this all day but I think you get the point. It really should be a sci-fi film not an action film. I knew it was going to be cheesy, hello it's Michael Bay right? But in the end I'm just disappointed.

Thin plot. Casting Big stars to disguise a mediocre screenplay. There is no way the world would send these fools up in space to save the planet. Ben A is so miscast. He was too clean looking to be an oil rigger. The plot of this is so stupid and it is padded out to 2 1/2 hours. This was the #1 film of 1998. Only people who are young and adults that can not comprehend a James Joyce novel like this crappy movie. Small words were used in order for the masses to understand

Well, this is one of the movies i ever love more than other movie, the only move i can see all day.
