1998 movie Armageddon--Liv Tyler is beautiful but a wooden actress.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armageddon_(1998_film) The fast pace is de rigeur today, but was disliked in 1998. It is difficult to follow and some story lines like the men in the strip club kept dangling. I didn't see the end as my TV went off, I don't know why. But a 3m investment and a 2.6 m ad at Super Bowl brought in 500+ m $$. We'll take that. NINE writers worked on the screenplay, and it's not very good,but still a great box office success. kmk 7-4-2018
