Description:
Armageddon - English/French DVD- From the blockbuster-making team who produced and directed PEARL HARBOR and THE ROCK (Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay) comes the biggest movie of 1998 -- ARMAGEDDON! Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis (DIE HARD), Academy Award(R)-winners Ben Affleck (GOOD WILL HUNTING) and Billy Bob Thornton (SLING BLADE), Liv Tyler (THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy), Steve Buscemi (CON AIR), and Will Patton (GONE IN 60 SECONDS), ARMAGEDDON is a meteor storm of action-adventure moviemaking that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breathe! When NASA's executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it's obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option -- land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling, and heartfelt emotion make ARMAGEDDON an exhilarating thrill ride you'll want to experience like there's no tomorrow. Pearl Harbor 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition - English/French DVD- History comes alive in the unforgettable epic motion picture PEARL HARBOR, the spectacular blockbuster brought to the screen by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. Astounding visual and audio effects put you at the center of the event that changed the world -- that early Sunday morning in paradise when warplanes screamed across the peaceful skies of Pearl Harbor and jolted America into World War II. This real-life tale of catastrophic defeat, heroic victory, and personal courage focuses on the war's devastating impact on two daring young pilots, Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) and Josh Hartnet (BLACK HAWK DOWN), and a beautiful, dedicated nurse, Kate Beckinsale (SERENDIPITY). PEARL HARBOR is extraordinary moviemaking -- a breathtaking reenactment of the 'date which will live in infamy' and a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who lived it.

Rating: - Two good movies for the price of one.
This is a great deal, because you get to watch two good movies at the same time, and only have to pay for the price of one. I enjoyed Armageddon very much as solid entertainment, nothing more, but I have to say that Pearl Harbor was the better movie. I had alot of fun watching it, and was totally thrilled by the 45 minute bombing sequence, that has some of the best special effects i've ever seen in a movie. I feel that Ben Affleck did a decent job here, and with armageddon, and Michael Bay is at the top of his form with these movies. Go out and buy these movies a together if you love action movies, because you won't be disappointed.

Rating:  - pearl harbor
I'm really sad this movie didn't get the credit it deserves. I cry every time I watch it! It hurts to know that this tradgedy really happened and it is not just another scary movie. I think everybody needs to watch this movie to remember how our soilders sacrificed their lives for our freedom. The action seen was so real and vivid. The love scene is great. I love this movie!
Rating: - Big, Expensive & Fun
There's probably been enough written abou these two movies to fill a couple of libraries. I think that a lot of people took them too seriously. Really they are both fantasy. While Pearl Harbor is based on fact, the filmakers play fast and lose with the facts. I think it compares very favorably to Titanic. It also move a lot faster than that movie and there's a lot more action. It fills the role of summer blockbuster very well. I'm not sure why it met with such negative critical reaction, but if it is enjoyed for the escapist fun that it is, I think it works very well. The same can be said of Armageddon. It's fun. Sure the plot has holes big enough to drive a truck through, but that's really not the point. If you want a factual space movie then rent Apollo 13. This is an action movie that's pure escapist fun.
So if you're looking for accuracy or a serious interpretation of history, then look somewhere else, but if you're just looking to have a good time then these movies will work for you.
I've always been disappointed that they never put out an anamorphic version of Armageddon. I resisted buying until this two pack. The film would of course benefit from a new transfer, but it's adequate and the sound is very good. The Pearl Harbor transfer is pristine. It's reference material. The DTS sound is enveloping and the bass is kicking. Like I said, if you're looking for a good time, then you found it with these two. And the price is right.
Rating:  - Great deal for those who like terrible movies
The only thing worse than Ben Affleck's taste in screenplays these days, is the public who supports this schlock. "Armageddon" and "Pearl Harbor" did not require an ounce of originality to make, and will demand zero thought of the viewer. If that's what you're looking for -- and a lot of people are -- then you're in luck.
Rating: - Pearl Harbor + Armageddom..good combo!!!
Well.....all I've got to say is that these two movies are a perfect choice if you're planning to buy new DVDs anytime soon. although "Armageddom" is not exactly "New", I think it will do good to your DVD collection, especially since it's one of the best movies that combines love and tragedy. "Pearl Harbor" is a combination of those two too, and Ben Affleck also takes part in the movie as he did in "Armageddom". I would definetely buy this "movie combo" if I had my parent's credit card, so I definetely recommend this to anyone who loves to see good movies about love and war (Pearl Harbor) and love and sacrifice (Armageddom). And also....if you love movies with nice visual effects and a nice soundtrack, these two are for you!
