Summary: Talented cast in an alright movie
Review: Deep Impact, which is basically about an almost unstoppable metor about to collide with the earth, which will result in many deaths if something isn't done about it. Morgan Freeman stars as the president of the United States, who is straight forward and honest, which is a type of president this country has never had. Also, stars Tea Leoni, the most talented youngster, Elijah Wood, Robert Duvall, and Vanessa Redgrave as Tea Leoni's alcoholic mother.After the discovery of the meteor by Leo Biederman (Wood), a scientist checks what path it is headed and comes to the realization that it is headed straight for earth, not to mention the shores of the east cost. To try and stop it, they send a group of astronauts to try and destroy the meteor, lead by Tanner (Duvall). The major strength of this movie is the human reaction. Each character reacts differently to the disaster to become them. Some worry about themselves and flee without a second thought and some worry about other people, which is what is believeable. Deep Impact takes the middle ground, in other words instead of letting the meteor hit, they are able to spilt into two pieces, with the larger piece being destroyed in a scene that may just bring tears to your eyes. Compared to Armegeddon, this movie is a masterpiece. This one has more realism and it is not made like a 120 minute trailer as Roger Ebert once pointed out about Armegeddon. It has characters you just might remember and dialogue that is not so repetitive you may just walk out. Despite the fact, this movie is not great although it stars some great talents such as Elijah Wood and the brilliant Morgan Freeman, it is just decent. GRADE: B-

Summary: Deep, Deep Feeling
Review: You get a kind of deep feeling when you see this movie. It is great! What would you do if you knew that in a handful of days an enormous comet would collide with Earth and all humanity could be annihilated? The countdown to doomsday is underway in this "gut-wrenching, eye-opening blast of a movie experience" - Jeff Craig, (Sixty Second Preview). Mimi Leder (The Peacemaker) directs, guiding an all-star cast featuring Robert Duvall, Tea Leoni, Elijah Wood, Vanessa Redgrave, Maximilian Schell and Morgan Freeman. With the film's dynamic fusion of large-scale excitement and touching, human-scale storylines, Deep Impact makes its impact felt in a big and unforgettable way.

Summary: This was the worst movie I have ever seen
Review: This movie was awful. The kid and his girlfriend, Tea and her dad.....I just wanted them all to die at the end. I felt no emotion at all towards their underdeveloped characters. Woods marrying that girl was unrealistic as were her and her parents, and I was hoping that one of the asteriods would knock them off their bike at the end, or maybe the waves would catch up to them (how were they in the mountains anyway?). No such luck. I might have given it 2 stars in that case. Watch Armageddon for a good asteriod movie. You can cry at that ending also, and it's for a much more worthy character.

Summary: Space Cowboys
Review: This is a great SF movie by a women director who focuses on the emotional aspects rather than the hero dynamics. An enormous rock is heading straight for the Earth. Morgan Freeman, America's first black President (after a recount), decides to build a giant spaceship called the 'ARK' to preserve the American way of life. After it is constructed, the entire population of the United States climb on board and take off, leaving the rest of the World to their fate. But unluckily the ARK is destroyed when it crashes into the comet above the Earth's atmosphere, smashing the comet into thousands of tiny pieces. The movie ends on a hopeful note as the human race bravely braces itself to face a future without any Americans.

Summary: 10 times better than ARMEGEDDON at 1/3 the budget
Review: A realistic adaptation of what might actually happen if doomsday were coming. Especially the part where the G-men wouldn't tell anybody of the impending doom unless they absolutely had to. Awesome effects at just the right times, the story holds up very well and It's a shame that Criterion passed this one up for (the gusto-budgeted-painfully long 15 minute goodbye speech of Bruce Willis to the world) armegeddon.

Summary: Great FX But a Long Time Coming
Review: Except for some dramatic scenes featuring Robert Duvall this film getsbogged down in an overlong story about the fate of a TV reporter andpays too little attention to the fate of everyone else. But when theyfinally get to the real action it is worth the wait. UnlikeARMAGEDDON, which showed truck-sized asteroids hitting the Earth withthe force of furniture falling off a skyscraper, DEEP IMPACT managessome very realistic effects. However, the notion that a large cometcould be neutralized by an atomic explosion just hours before impactwith Earth is without basis in science. Even deflecting a comet wouldrequire an explosion several months in advance of impact.

Summary: Realism in a movie...
Review: This is one of the very few movies that Hollywood made that contains a scientific realism. Unfortunatelly certain portions of the story were too slow with lots of naive actions from some of the characters. In general it's a good movie.

Summary: This movie is like Armageddon, minus the entertainment.
Review: I'm sorry, but this is supposed to be a disaster movie? Since when does a disaster movie have the "disaster" in the sub-plot??? This movie is actually a love story between the (then) 18 year old Elijah WOod and 15 year old LeeLee Sobeiski. Nothing more, nothing less. You'll be eager to see the astronauts on their heroic mission, instead you'll be tormented by Elijah staring at LeeLee. This movie also disguisted me, for instance, the point of attack (when the actual movie's meat started) comes during a hyper-close up of a fat guy's cheek blubber shaking as he sloppily eats pizza. The camera is pretty much sitting on the guy's top lip for about six minutes before the guy looks at at screen and realizes an asteroid is about to hit. I give it two stars only because of a moving scene on a beach between a daughter and father.

Summary: Irwin Allen could have done this film better.
Review: Cardboard characters and big budget effects are the main attraction in this film about efforts to stop a comet from hitting the Earth. The only bright spot is Morgan Freeman's portrayl as the US President.
