Michael Bay Admits 'Armageddon' Science Was Wide of the Mark

Original: ‘Armageddon’: Michael Bay Knew the Science Was Wild

Director Michael Bay has acknowledged that the science in his 1999 disaster film 'Armageddon' was far from realistic, revisiting long-running criticism of the blockbuster in which Bruce Willis's oil-drilling crew is sent to blow up an asteroid threatening Earth. The film has frequently been cited by scientists as one of the least accurate movies ever made, and Bay's remarks have reignited discussion about Hollywood taking liberties with physics for the sake of spectacle.

Why now: Bay's candid admission about the film's scientific inaccuracies has renewed interest in a classic blockbuster's famous flaws.
