Seen parts of Armaggedon but never the whole thing. As suspect_5 and myself have already said, you may find our "entertaining" reason as a "cop out" but that's what we look for in a movie. He (suspect_5) looks for an escape from reality and sometimes I do too. But again, it's a movie and it's meant for entertainment. If you wish to take it further and really dissect it to understand or appreciate it better (such as yourself, Capo, Don Vercetti) that's fine also. Just know that some do not look at movies for those elements and appreciate movies for different reasons. You may not agree with it but that's what the beauty of this message board and America is, freedom of choice
