The album cover Armageddon occurs as 1998 disaster film/science fiction film about a class action of blue-collar deep-core drillers who are sent by NASA to deflect an asteroid on a collision course sustaining Earth. It was directed by Michael Bay and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and featured Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler. A film's tagline is For Love. For Honor. For Man.

Armageddon was freed in the time of the period once disaster movies were seeing a comeback. A second star-shaped impact flick, Deep Impact, was made the equivalent season, along sustaining a reprise of Godzilla. A former month saw two or three volcano-based disaster moving-picture show.

A soundtrack featured a song "''I Don't Want to Miss a Thing''" by Aerosmith (fronted by Liv Tyler's father, Steven Tyler) which was the 1st first hit of the band's career.

When Hollywood science fiction films often bend the system of science sequentially to produce a additional compelling plot, science critics blasted Armageddon to a higher degree virtually all for its unfortunate adherence to the laws of physics. A select few possibly felt that a asteroid, an inanimate object, wwhen portrayed as actively trying to obliterate a astronauts.

A picture was nominated around 7 categories for the 1998 Golden Raspberry Awards, but only one was awarded: a Better Actor award was given to Bruce Willis for his Armageddon performance, along by owning appearances within Mercury Rising and The Siege. It was too on the listings of Roger Ebert's most hated films.

The DVD of Armageddon was re-issued by The Criterion Collection, which releases what it considers to be "important classic and contemporary films"; a film too received a Saturn Awards for Best Direction and Best Science Fiction Film (where it attached by owning Dark City).

C. Bolin wrote a novel based on the screenplay by Jonathan Hensleigh and the story by Jonathan Hensleigh and Robert Pool.
