I just saw this movie a few nights ago - it's *so* great. It's about what would happen if a comet were to hit the earth. Not to be confused with "Armedgeddon", the action movie about the same subject, this is a thinking kind of movie. There's still special effects and stuff, they're just not the focus of the movie. I left the theatre crying.... I'd definitely recommend it.
This had to the one of the worst movies i have ever saw. first of all it's a total "chick-flick" on a platter of science-fiction. second of all if the world was going to struck by a meteor or whatever, i think that scientists would have seen the thing way before than in the movie. doesn't hollywood realize that NASA had lanched statellites deep within our solar system that would have detected a comet heading to earth long before that? wow some people die. so what? people die in natural disaters all around the world, for example two days ago there was a earthquake in afganistan, killing a ton of people, and ten minutes away from my house there was a F4 tornado that killed two people and destroyed 30 homes two days ago too. if you want to see good science fiction movies watch "dune", "farenheit 451", and "2001: a space oddyessy".
Well, okay, maybe it was implausible, but I thought that the drama was really, really great. And, yeah, there are a lot of natural disasters, and they're really terrible, but if an asteriod hit the earth, there wouldn't *be* natural disasters after that, 'cause there wouldn't be people, or animals, or plants, or anything ever again. And -I'M GONNA GIVE AWAY THE END OF THE MOVIE NOW - some people had to survive in the end, 'cause I don't think Hollywod would make a movie that ended with the extinction of all life. Anyway, I thought that it presented some interesting ideas. No offense or anything. :)
I have to agree with Meredith. It sucked. Not only was it unrealistic, the acting was horrible, the characters were stereotypes, and the script was nonexistent. The only redeeming quality was that they had a black man as president.
Hmmm i can't really complain about Deep impact because i fell asleep before it finished. the only reason I went to view this appauling excuse for a blockbuster because I thought that amazing bloke David duchovny was in it. Instead, I had to sit through two hours of his wife trying to impersonate Sharon Stone. This is the worst film i have ever seen- CHEESE ALERT!

I wish that the WHOLE earth had been obliterated by that comet- then we wouldn't have to suffer these awful attempts at action films.
