Okay, so I’ve been on this huge disaster movie kick lately, and after re-watching Armageddon for the, like, hundredth time, I needed MORE. I wanted that same feeling – you know, edge-of-your-seat suspense, massive stakes, and maybe a little bit of cheesy heroism. So I started digging around for movies that give off that same vibe.
The Hunt Begins!
First, I just started by good old plain simple search on the web with simple words like “movies similar to armageddon” and “disaster movies like armageddon”. I figured this would give me a solid starting point. And it did! I got a bunch of the usual suspects, the ones everyone always mentions.
Filtering the Results
Now, I didn’t want just any disaster movie. I wanted ones that felt specifically like Armageddon. So I started refining my searches, adding some quality words in the search engine.

- I looked into release dates.
- I read user reviews to see what kind of vibe they gave.
I spent a good chunk of time just browsing, adding movies to a list, and crossing off ones that didn’t quite fit.
Putting It All Together
Finally, I felt like I had a pretty good, curated collection. It took a bit of effort, and honestly, a lot of it was just going with my gut feeling. It wasn’t some fancy scientific process, just a movie fan trying to find something good to watch!
