In response to "I agree. There are plenty of action movies that let me leave my brain on, and still enjoy it." by Inigo

There's suspending disbelief and then there's suspending disbelief.

Take Armageddon

I can accept that they are sending people to an asteroid to blow it up. I can accept that the crews they are sending have zero astronaut training.


I cannot accept that NASA, even as inept as it has sometimes been, would launch two shuttles, simultaneously, from launch pads that are only several hundred yards apart.

I cannot accept that they would make a point of weight being an issue then load up a rover that is ARMED WITH HEAVY GUNS AND AMMO.


The movie fails because of those points alone, though there are plenty more issue with it.
