Deep Impact

Pros: Big science concepts treated with respect, good characterizations

Cons: None

Review: As someone who is interested in astronomy, science, and human values,I have read with great interest articles about the great impact event that most likely wiped out the dinosaurs, and the geological evidence that such cometary or asteroid impacts have...

Pros: Realistic visual effects; superb performances from Duvall and Freeman

Cons: Typical disaster film subplots are somewhat distracting

The Bottom Line: The slight flaws in the story don't diminish the emotional and visual splendor of this well-made 1998 science fiction film

Review: During the summer movie season of 1998, there were two high-budget films dealing with our planet coming under siege from large space rocks. One of them was the much-touted ARMAGEDDON with Bruce Willis. The other was the more modest but still visually...

Pros: Amazing graphics

Cons: A little unreal

The Bottom Line: I think it was a good movie and everyone should see it!

Review: It's a wonderful movie. Leelee and Elijah play great characters. You can tell all the emotion Elijah's character plays through his eyes. But it seems a little unreal because it's about a comet that is going to distroy the earth when we know comets break...

Pros: great movie, great acting

Cons: it's sad

Review: One summer evening, Leo Biederman (Elijah Wood) was looking through his telescope with the rest of the class, and didn't know what one star cluster was. Neither did his teacher, so they took a picture and sent it to Dr. Marcus Wolf.

Wolf...

Pros: very moving

Cons: saddddddddddddd

Review: We are brought up to always hope for the best. We are taught to believe that there is nothing greater than God that can harm us, but this movie shows a different side of things. There is a large asteroid that the scientist have been examinig for years...

Pros: Great acting, plot, special effects, scripts

Cons: Nothing

The Bottom Line: This movie will scare you so much that you will not be able to stop thinking about the possibilities of mass destruction.

Review: I feel that the only reason Deep Impact did not become a big blockbuster success is the fact that Armageddon came out right after it and the publicity for Armageddon was far greater than that of Deep Impact. Instead of reviewing Deep Impact I would...

Pros: A focus on the lives and loves of believable characters

Cons: Occasional embarrassing mistakes, e. g. Richmond is much farther away than 6 miles from any Atlantic beach

Review: In the summer of 1998, as the nation hurtled towards political Ragnarok, I watched both "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon". An anecdote, possibly apocryphal, appeared in the print media about President Clinton having gone back to the...

Pros: Extraordinary storyline.

Cons: A serious tear-jerker.

Review: Deep Impact had the misfortune of being released along with Armageddon, a movie that dominated the charts and seemed to leave Deep Impact in the shadows. While I cannot dispute the thrill of Armageddon, I have to feel pity for anyone who missed this...

Pros: Realistic

Cons: Slow plot movement

Review: It was a race for the box office, Deep Impact v.s. Armageddon. I saw them both. The plot of both was the same, a extremely massive space body was on a collision course with Earth. While I liked the cast of Armageddon better, the stories and how they...

Pros: Great characters; realistic; good special effects.

Cons: If you want big bangs, watch Armegeddon.

Review: Although it came out the same year as Armegeddon, Deep Impact was a much more realistic, emotional movie. There are more stories involved in this dramatic film than in the typical Hollywood sci-fi action flick. In addition to its realism, Deep Impact...
