Rating: Summary: Neither Deep, Nor did it have any impact. Review: Long, boring, self serious without any believable characters. The writers should have taken some clues from people's behavior during the Cuban Missile Crisis to determine what would happen in this situation. At least Armageddon knew it was stupid. The people who made this movie should have ripped off more from On The Beach and less from When Worlds Collide. Funniest bit from the movie: The Statue of Liberty getting knocked over by a giant tidal wave, causing several members in the audience at the theater where I saw it to shout out Charlton Heston's famous last line from Planet of the Apes. I also found it odd that Morgan Freeman's final speech in Deep Impact was parodied more than one year earlier in Tim Burton's somewhat funnier Mars Attacks!.
Rating: Summary: The "Ishtar" of the 90s Review: This movie is awful! Take a bunch of really good actors, mix them with a bunch of so-so actors from bad NBC sitcoms (Men Behaving Badly and that goofy tabloid sitcom that Tea Leoni was in), and you have a horrible story. Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall must have done this for the money. The movie introduces too many characters. Tea Leoni plays an awful MSNBC journalist. Additionally, MSNBC is advertised all over the place in this movie. Robert Duvall is not a convincing older astronaut. Neither are any of the other actors portraying astronauts. I've seen B movies with a better script.
Rating: Summary: Deep Impact deeply impacted on me. Review: I loved this movie very much. I felt the family love on this movie
Rating: Summary: THE MOVIE "ARMAGEDDON" WISHED IT COULD HAVE BEEN Review: The best disaster movie I've seen since "The Towering Inferno". The events portrayed in this movie actually seem feasible & I honestly believe it could really happen someday. The pace of the film was excellent; it never dragged along unnecessarily but got right to the point. The acting (particularly Morgan Freeman) was outstanding throughout. This movie stayed with me for a while, which is more than I can say about most of the ones I've seen. Give it a try; I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: The acting was supurb! Effects: great! This movie isn't just a must-see; it's a must-own. I guarantee all you sentimental fools out there that you will love this movie.
Rating: Summary: Quite possibly the worst movie ever Review: I wish I could give this zero stars. I feel sorry for any person that even remotely enjoyed this disaster/ously movie. Morgan you should be ashamed of yourself. Mystery Science Theater can't wait.
Rating: Summary: Deep Impact: The Hidden Truth Review: Despite all the hype out there, Deep Impact has to be one of the best planetary disater films of all time. I mean, the writers took the time to develop the plot and build the action to one final climax, whereas Armaggeddon had one pointless explosion after pointless explosion. You don't neccesarrily learn a life lesson, but you do learn to actually feel for the characters and know why they do what they do in the film. Robert Duvall did an excellent job as did Tea Leoni and Morgan Freeman. You actually felt for the characters. Leelee Sobieski and Denise Crosby also did a terrific job. Also, Deep Impact is very accurate in the actual technology and timing of everything. It takes almost two years to stop the comet whereas Armaggeddon has an unreal eighteen days to stop their rock. As a guy, I don't cry while watching a lot of films, but this one did break a tear from me. I think that this has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Rating: Summary: Very Good, Scientifically (Close to) Accurate Disaster Movie Review: This is one of the best asteroid disaster movies done. It is the closest I've seen to being scientifically accurate. It has a few bits of artistic license, but they can be forgiven.Its not the best movie ever, its not the best movie of the year, but it is entertaining. That's all I was really expecting out of it. This movie is far better than the competitor, Armageddon. If you're not looking for something too deep, but you want to have a little movie fun, this may fit the bill.
Rating: Summary: One of the worst movies ever made... Review: Almost as bad as "Seven." IT has to be one of the worst movies of 1998. I feel asleep half way through it. The next morning, I rewound and found that I missed nothing by falling asleep. As a matter of face, I think sleeping is more exciting. The only good thing was LeeLee Sobieski as Elijah Woods' girlfriend. But she couldn't even make this worth watching. Save you money. Want a good disaster movie? Go out and rent "Armageddon." "Armageddon" may be campy, but at least it's fun.
Rating: Summary: Realistic disaster movie Review: Some likes more armagueddon than deep impact, me I voted for deep impact. The all star cast help much in a very simple movie and also long to begin. The visuals effects made by industrial light & magic are great and this is the only reason to watch this movie.
