Reviews

utku_kamil_ozen This film could have been much better because of the moral dilemmas presented in the story. But it turned out to be a cheesy film that is scientifically so inaccurate that stupid climate change deniers look like Einstein in comparison. Right at the beginning of the film a car rolls off a cliff and it immediately explodes into a giant flame ball! So, right off the bat you know what you are signed up for. Then it also has some very bad CGI and some bad acting as well. But I still liked this film, call it a guilty pleasure, if you will. Because I didn't feel like the film was trying to insult its audience for a second. Despite the amount of stupid in the film, it didn't make me angry. It has a heart and accomplishes the mission of making you emotional. Then I checked the director, after the fact, and it was a woman and I thought to myself of course it is. Don't get me wrong, I don't credit the director necessarily for the stupid things in the film, but I credit her for the positives which are not much but enough to make the film enjoyable.

midwayairdale I was disappointed in Tea Leoni! in my opinion this lady should find another job. not very good at all. i liked this movie quite a bit. but you need to ignore all the holes. the moles were supposed to bore to 100 meters, not 100 feet. silly us Americans. we seem to think the terms are interchangeable. they aren't even close. then there is the twin towers in New York that semi survived the tidal wave (and yes, that is what tsunami means folks. it's the Japanese word for tidal wave! that is all!) and last but not least, how the hell did so much of Washington DC survive? it wouldn't have! the end scene, everyone has clean, pressed suits. electrical power for the president to give his speech. the capitol building surviving. the whole square full of people. how did all that happen. OK. i'll shut up now folks. enjoy!

gavin6942 Unless a comet can be destroyed before colliding with Earth, only those allowed into shelters will survive. Which people will survive? Because of the time this film came out, it is often compared to "Armageddon". Both are about a collision course with earth and how to stop it. The timing is somewhat suspicious, but we will just assume it is a coincidence.There are some differences. "Armageddon" has a slightly better cast, and a bigger soundtrack. Yes, "Deep Impact" has Morgan Freeman, Kurtwood Smith and Robert Duvall. But it also stars Tea Leoni, who is one of history's worst actresses. Where "Deep Impact" succeeds, though, is in its darkness. "Armageddon" somehow becomes a romantic movie, whereas this film does not shy away from the likely, inevitable deaths of millions of people.

Parker Lewis Deep Impact was very moving, especially with Tea Leoni's character reuniting with her father at the end, which was very sad and touching.I still think about the constitutional issues in Deep Impact. Here the US President Beck (played by Morgan Freeman) arranges for the Government to pre-select 200K individuals (scientists, etc) and a lottery to select 800K Americans under 50 years to be in a Missouri limestone cave.Thankfully the USA didn't get completely wiped out by the comet but can you imagine the next presidential election? For one, President Beck's lost the over 50 vote. He's also lost the votes of the millions who missed out in the lottery, big time. No way President Beck would even win the party's nomination. No way he should bother standing in the primaries. No chance.
