Pros: Excellent plot, acting and a real eerie concept. Cons: It came out the same time as the movie, Armageddon.
Deep Impact 1998 Directed by Mimi Leder (Pay it Forward and E.R.) Morgan Freeman as President Tom Beck Robert Duvall as Captain Tanner Tèa Leoni as Jenny Lerner Elijah Wood as Leo Beiderman James ...
Pros: Realistic depiction of events, great effects. Cons: Over the top emotionally.
As Douglas Adams so admirably put it, “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” In reality, ...
When I was a little girl I saw a movie called "The Day After" about nuclear war. It absolutely terrified me to think that the world as we know it could cease to exist. Ever since then I have been sickly fascinated by natural disasters. I'm a...
Pros: Some sporadic moments of suspense; a few cool CGI and SFX shots. Cons: Cheesy, melodramatic, unrealistic, bland, cliche, unoriginal, poorly written and directed.
The term "disaster movie" is somewhat of a misnomer since films of the type aren’t so much about the cataclysmic events themselves as they are about people banding together because of a threat. This is a concept that could, in theory, combine action ...
Pros: Morgan Freeman. Amazing Special Effects. Thought provoking look at humanity's reaction to impending doom. Cons: Wooden acting other than Freeman who isn't given enough. Poor character development. Flat, anticlimactic moments.
Have you ever heard of those feminine tales of woe, where the eager young teen, Betty Lou goes to the big dance/party/rave/whatever in her painstakingly chosen outfit, finely calculated to make her the centre of attention, only to discover that...
Pros: Good story and DVD quality Cons: not enaugh action
Does the movie deserve the success that it had? Keep reading to find out.
Deep Impact, a movie about comet on a collision course with Earth, was the first of two interstellar disaster films last year and I'll be honest I liked this one more....
Pros: Interesting storyline. Decent acting. Cons: Tea Leoni. Occasional bad special effects.
1998 was the year of the "object strikes the earth" movie. First up was the Mimi Leder-directed film "Deep Impact", followed up later that summer with the blockbuster "Armageddon". Apart from the basic plot point of blowing up the object before it...
Pros: Big science concepts treated with respect, good characterizations Cons: None
As someone who is interested in astronomy, science, and human values,I have read with great interest articles about the great impact event that most likely wiped out the dinosaurs, and the geological evidence that such cometary or asteroid impacts have...
Pros: Nice end disaster sequence, some decent acting Cons: Too sappy at times, minimal tension overall
Deep Impact, which came out the same year as Armageddon, is the "smarter" of the two asteroid-coming-to-destroy-earth films. It presents a far more intelligent look at how would the US face a possible E.L.E, or extinction level event.
Pros: Great acting, plot, special effects, scripts Cons: Nothing
I feel that the only reason Deep Impact did not become a big blockbuster success is the fact that Armageddon came out right after it and the publicity for Armageddon was far greater than that of Deep Impact. Instead of reviewing Deep Impact I would...
We are brought up to always hope for the best. We are taught to believe that there is nothing greater than God that can harm us, but this movie shows a different side of things. There is a large asteroid that the scientist have been examinig for years...
One summer evening, Leo Biederman (Elijah Wood) was looking through his telescope with the rest of the class, and didn't know what one star cluster was. Neither did his teacher, so they took a picture and sent it to Dr. Marcus Wolf.
Pros: Good performances by Redgrave and Duvall Cons: bad acting by everyone else; sappy subplots
Deep Impact has anything but. The title refers to a fictional meteor that's set to destroy the Earth within two years, but for all of its state-of-the-art hocus-pocus, the tinny message of this big-budget movie is that there's nothing like a global...
It is indeed true, how man’s imagination makes him genius and takes him way a ahead were his 6th Sense wouldn’t take him. Hollywood filmmakers use this to the right aspect, but too much of a overdose does...
Pros: A focus on the lives and loves of believable characters Cons: Occasional embarrassing mistakes, e. g. Richmond is much farther away than 6 miles from any Atlantic beach
In the summer of 1998, as the nation hurtled towards political Ragnarok, I watched both "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon". An anecdote, possibly apocryphal, appeared in the print media about President Clinton having gone back to the...
