A great book for one of cinema's great movies

When I first saw Visions of Armageddon on sale at the bookstore, I often found myself looking at it more and more. So, finally, I bought it. This has to be a great book on the 1998 blockbuster film. It contains information on all subjects from the film's genesis to final production. Hundreds of lavish photographs and drawing make it even better. It includes interviews with the cast and crew. However, for people looking for a good book to read, ignore this. The information skips back and forth. One moment they are telling you about how the film began. Then they are telling you about how the special effects were made. Then they are telling about the genesis and so forth. But the lack of definite timeline does not at all hurt the story of the most overcritized film of all time. As Michael Bay said "There is nothing wrong with entertaining people."

ARMAGEDDON IS 1998'S BEST SUMMER MOVIE!

If you saw the movie, and loved it, go get Visions of Armageddon because it was so good and shows Dreamquest and Vfx how they did those spectacular Special FX. Great pictures from the movie. Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay makes a great team for a fun, high-paced, action-packed movie for the summer! One of my favorite movies of the summer, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ARMAGEDDON GO SEE IT AND YOU'LL BE FEELIN' LIKED YOU GOT OUT OF AN KICK ASS ROLLER COASTER RIDE!!!!

Amazing!!!

If you love the movie, you might want to have it as one of your book collections. It shows the making of the movie & its illustrations. There are also some nice pictures of the cast for those fans who love Bruce, Ben & Liv. Don't miss it!!!

Visions of ARMAGEDDON - An Essential book for Sci-Fi Fans

Discover the world inside the greatest blockbuster movie of this summer! If you like the movie you MUST own it. When I bought this book, I never thought the importance of this release. This contains, in a very complete way, all the Armageddon proyect with very interesting notes about it(with interviews of all the cast, included Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler). Specially pay attention in all the production design(big and detailed pictures) as behind the scenes, storybooards, CGI sequences, etc..Get into the Armageddon world. Time is running up! :)
