Best Disaster Movie Available on Disney+

Armageddon, a 1998 classic, has been celebrated as the “best disaster movie of all time” and is now available for streaming on Disney+. The film follows a team of deep-core diggers sent by NASA to destroy a massive asteroid hurtling towards Earth. Picture this: NASA’s Dan Truman realizes the only way to avert disaster is to drill into the asteroid’s surface and detonate a nuclear bomb. To lead this risky space mission, he enlists the expertise of renowned driller Harry Stamper, who brings along his skilled crew, including the confident A.J.

Directed by Michael Bay, the star-studded cast includes Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, and Billy Bob Thornton.

Despite this, Time magazine dubbed it the top disaster movie of all time, praising its cheesy yet thrilling excessiveness. The film is hailed for its special effects and its ability to make viewers care deeply about its characters in the face of impending disaster.

While Rotten Tomatoes critics gave Armageddon a 43% rating, audience reviewers rated it at 73%. Some critics called it visually stunning but lacking in intelligence, yet fans declared it a classic and a must-see. So, if you’re up for a disaster-filled adventure, don’t miss out on streaming Armageddon on Disney+.
