Deep Impact

Oceans rise. Cities fall. Hope survives.

6.3(3,510)19982h 2m21

A seven-mile-wide space rock is hurtling toward Earth, threatening to obliterate the planet. Now, it's up to the president of the United States to save the world. He appoints a tough-as-nails veteran astronaut to lead a joint American-Russian crew into space to destroy the comet before impact. Meanwhile, an enterprising reporter uses her smarts to uncover the scoop of the century.

    I was really disappointed, considering all of the great actors involved and since I love science fiction and the great disaster films of days gone by.

    Not your typical disaster movie. In my mind this was far better than Armageddon, which came out about the same time. Instead focusing on chaos and selfishness this movie gave us a positive portrayal of people dealing with an unthinkable tragedy. I found it to be realistic and hopeful. People helped each other and sacrificed for others, even in some cases people they didn't even like. There was the expected upbeat end…
