Steve N @Steviesnes 4d Re watching this is actually better than Armageddon. It’s got more about it story and character wise and I think as a film it holds up well. I’m a sucker for this type of movie anyway See more Jonathan O @RT41230270 Aug 2 The vfx could done better and the story felt separate but it shows human drama of what we'll happen when enormous comet hits earth. and the director did good work but also could feel Spielberg adding extra help for building character development and emotions and the score by James Horner does really incredible score but there's a track on one of the scenes that felt like Apollo 13.

See more Matthew D @OceanSage Jun 28 What a bizarre disaster thriller that’s more of a melodrama about the people left behind that may survive a comet hitting the Earth. Director Mimi Leder’s sci-fi melodrama disaster thriller Deep Impact (1998) is totally insane. The bulk of the movie is how humanity would react to potentially dying from a comet strike. The only main redemption of this movie is composer James Horner’s score is really lovely and touching. What were writers Bruce Joel Rubin and Michael Tolkin even thinking with this one? There’s a child marriage and a family obliterated on a beach. Deep Impact really has got it all. Deep Impact is like Armageddon without the humor or action, Contact without the questions of science versus faith, or Apollo 13 without the endearing and heartfelt drama that connects you to the characters. It’s corny, melodramatic, and shallow even though it is trying so hard to be profound. I could not remember a single person’s name or whether they lived or died. See more Christopher P @ChrisPCreme Jun 21 One of my favorite disaster movies, the stories tend to melodrama but in my view it mostly works and doesn't cross the line into schlock. I rewatch every few years and have made my kids watch it. See more Garry A @heavyg Jun 8 One of the worst disaster films. I didn't care too much who lived or died. The special effects were okay but not enough to justify its bloated two hour runtime. See more Read all reviews
