Pretty Good
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Remember Armageddon? That was a great movie about an asteroid on its way to earth. an action movie to be precise. this movie has the same background story but puts its focus on a couple of random people and their fates. but some of their story line feel forced and the outcome was no surprise. at least they are trying to be more realistic in terms of what could happen in such event. overall the movie is just okay... not really bad but also not great. you might watch it once on the tv and then probably never again
Deep Impact is an amazing movie with great actors and incredible story
And i have seen a lot's of sci-fi movies. Plenty of plot holes and anyone with healthy brain will see them. It was really awful to watch. There were parts of the movie i enjoyed but were quickly overrun by something bad. Also pacing in this movie is weird. Everything happens in the end of the movie. I recommend to not watch this movie at all
Deep Impact was released in the time of the disaster movie frenzy. In 1996 we had Independence Day, then in 1998 we were brought this and also Armageddon. Not that that's a bad thing because I'm a big fan of Independence Day and of this film. First of all, I really liked the cast and their acting. Tea leoni, Morgan freeman, Robert Duvall, Elijah wood, and Leelee all do really well with their roles. For me, this was leoni's film, out of all the actors, I think she outshined them all. She really showed her dramatic acting chops. Freeman was very good as the president, he just is a perfect actor for a powerful role. And Duvall fit his retiree astronaut role well, he was just a good fit for it. The writing isn't just all cheesy and phoned in clichés, often times that can happen in disaster movies because they just wanna mainly focus on the visual effects aspect of the film. But I didn't think that was the case here. I really loved the dialogue between leoni and her parents (Redgrave and Schell). Especially with her father, the movie really focuses on their relationship, just like it focuses on wood and Sorbeski's. And the film did both story lines justice. The visual effects are impressive, especially for 1998, not quite to the level of Independence Day in my opinion, but still pretty well done. I enjoyed this trilling movie and I know you will too. 8/10.
