Movie Review: ***Armageddon

This is a 1998 Touchstone movie dealing with a comet headed on a collision course to Earth, which is large enough to ensure the end of all life on Earth.  There are a few pre-comets which land in New York and around the globe.  However the big one is due in 18 days. 
They recruit a team of roughnecks to fly to the comet, drill to the core where they can place a nuclear bomb to blow the comet around earth which each half clearing on either side of the earth's atmosphere.  We are dealing with a man with lots of experience in drilling (Bruce Willis) and his daughter's (Liv Tyler) lover/fiance (Ben Affleck) who he doesn't like, because he does things brashly at times, and his daughter is too good for a "roughneck."  Billy Bob Thornton plays the NASA mission director.  An interesting side light is Steven Tyler singing "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" while his daughter (in real life) is becoming engaged.  Of course everything that can go wrong does go wrong: their weigh station, refueling stations burns up, and they take aboard a cosmonaut, they miss their landing site, and one spacecraft is hit with debris and crashes, on of the riggers contracts space dementia and goes crazy, etc. etc.  This movie has a twist in the end, but it is a very rough ride for our drilling rig workers turned astronauts.  A bit of strong language is not needed.
