PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Manthast Absolutely amazing

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Mynameisroman Remember Armageddon? That was a great movie about an asteroid on its way to earth. an action movie to be precise. this movie has the same background story but puts its focus on a couple of random people and their fates. but some of their story line feel forced and the outcome was no surprise. at least they are trying to be more realistic in terms of what could happen in such event. overall the movie is just okay... not really bad but also not great. you might watch it once on the tv and then probably never again

Filipe Neto This film tackles the end of the world in the traditional American perspective: a newly discovered comet threatens to destroy the planet and the US leads the crusade to eliminate the threat. Despite the obvious American imperialist propaganda implied here, the film is good, especially for those who enjoy catastrophe movies. His story bears a strong resemblance to "Armageddon" and some scenes remind us of "Independence Day", but there are big differences between these three films. One of the most notable is that this film gives more attention to the characters than to the tragic events. Unfortunately, this makes it a lot slower and monotonous than we might at first glance. There are people who see it as good, others want more action and they will get a little frustrated. I, in particular, have been able to appreciate this more leisurely way, although some scenes are perfectly expendable. The special effects have been quite well made and are grandiose, although they seem a little unbelievable.The characters have been very well developed, much better than most of the films of this genre, which helps a lot to catch the attention of the public. Elijah Wood and Leelee Sobieski can be particularly touching and, despite their young ages, get a good chemistry together. Even so, there are times when they exaggerated in sentimentality. The rest of the cast (where we can see experienced actors like Robert Duvall, Vanessa Redgrave or Morgan Freeman) has a much more contained and uninteresting record, which is a little surprising. Still, Freeman and Duvall have always been a little better than the rest of their peers, though their characters are relatively minor in the story (we may even think that the talent of the actors has been misused). Tea Leoni was clearly a casting mistake, she never really got her character.

Sam Cannon I started watching Deep Impact out of curiosity. The premise itself is quite interesting; a world preparing for the inevitable extinction-level-event that will occur, but like the work of Roland Emmerich, the story is stretched far too thin, exploring too many characters.Any aspect of the story; the child who first found the meteor, the journalist who first uncovers the government conspiracy, the astronauts who try to stop the comet before it hits earth, or the older woman facing her inevitable demise, could've been their own standalone film, but instead the filmmakers decided to push everything into a single film, making every aspect shallow and rushed.By far my favourite part of the movie are the astronauts. The scene where they plant bombs on the comet in attempts to destroy or alter its course, is by far the most dramatic and emotionally resonant aspect of the film. The effects were also very good for the time. Thankfully, a movie called Sunshine with a similar but different premise explored this sort of story further. The worst part of the story is the kid's story. This kid discovered the comet that would destroy the earth, and all he cares about is boning some girl (and this is made clear in the film, when one of his classmates says in front of an entire school "You can have sex with any girl you want" for discovering the comet), to the point where he convinces her to marry him to save her family. That is really offensive and creepy, and shouldn't have ever been treated with the whimsy this film did. He could've used his apparent authority to save more people, perhaps his entire class, but instead he marries a 14 year old girl.The rest of the film is decent to mediocre. The President, played by Morgan Freeman, is incredibly interesting, as there is an air of sinister around him when he captures a journalist. But as I said before, most of the film is shallow due to how spread out the film's focus is.In Conclusion:Pros: -Astronaut storyline -Morgan Freeman as President -The Landing on the Comet scene -The impact of the first cometCons: -The Soundtrack -The kid storyline -The dialogue -Too many characters6/10

Ada Mada Pia I am a sucker for sci-fi and disaster films. I'll take those over romcoms any day. Normally, I'm not a fan of too much drama in my sci-fi flicks, but in this case, I really enjoyed it. Much more than I enjoyed the touch-the-surface emotions of Armageddon. I found myself able to empathize with the characters in this film and felt their pain like it was my own. Unlike other reviewers, I enjoyed Tea Leoni's performance as a woman who bottled up her emotions, whether it was because she felt she needed to remain professional, or because she had difficulty expressing them and she managed to pull that off quite well. I also really liked the segments of the astronauts aboard the Messiah. Those scenes I found to be very touching and...human. Morgan Freeman was also stellar in his performance as the President. I thought the acting was very well done, maybe not Oscar worthy, but very good nonetheless. ***Spoiler*** The only stipulation I had with this film was the scene where Leo and his family are getting ready to go into the caves, Leo decides he's going back for Sarah. His parents just basically give him a hug and wish him well. Lol wut??? The kid can't even drive yet and you're going to send him off into chaos, by himself, with an extinction-level comet about to strike the earth within the next few hours. I couldn't believe the parents would actually just let him go like that. Absolutely ludicrous! It just struck me as ridiculously selfish. At the very least, I would have either gone with my child, or dragged his butt into the cave with me, not given him a "nice knowing you" pat on the back and sent him on his way.The girl's parents were much more realistic in how they sent both their children with Leo in a desperate attempt to get them to safety and stayed behind where they were inevitably killed in the tsunami. That's what real parents do. All in all, it was a great film and definitely one of those I will go back to time and again.
