Review

The earth faces imminent destruction from an asteroid, that's a big space rock to you and me! Strangely enough the only place on Earth that seems to care about its annhilation is America. So what do they decide to do about it? Send a bunch of crazy oil drillers into space, to drill a big hole in the rock and put a nuclear bomb in it.

Starring Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler, this movie is better than the last three sentences sound! This edition of the film contains much more than you would think. As well as a few seconds of additional footage here and there, the most noticeable is an extra scene were Harry (Bruce Willis) visits his dad. Great special effects, especially the scenes in space. An emotional movie that will have you on the edge of your seat.

One to watch!

There are so many extras on this disc from 'The Criterion Collection', that they won't all fit on one dvd, so you get two! To detail all the extras would take too long, as there are so many (look at the list above). Just go and Buy It!
