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.
