MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
utku_kamil_ozen This film could have been much better because of the moral dilemmas presented in the story. But it turned out to be a cheesy film that is scientifically so inaccurate that stupid climate change deniers look like Einstein in comparison. Right at the beginning of the film a car rolls off a cliff and it immediately explodes into a giant flame ball! So, right off the bat you know what you are signed up for. Then it also has some very bad CGI and some bad acting as well. But I still liked this film, call it a guilty pleasure, if you will. Because I didn't feel like the film was trying to insult its audience for a second. Despite the amount of stupid in the film, it didn't make me angry. It has a heart and accomplishes the mission of making you emotional. Then I checked the director, after the fact, and it was a woman and I thought to myself of course it is. Don't get me wrong, I don't credit the director necessarily for the stupid things in the film, but I credit her for the positives which are not much but enough to make the film enjoyable.
gabriel-hajas And i have seen a lot's of sci-fi movies. Plenty of plot holes and anyone with healthy brain will see them. It was really awful to watch. There were parts of the movie i enjoyed but were quickly overrun by something bad. Also pacing in this movie is weird. Everything happens in the end of the movie. I recommend to not watch this movie at all
nuoipter termer Deep Impact is an Armageddon-like movie where a comet is discovered to be on a collision course with Earth and a group of astronauts go to try to blow it up. They land on it and drill into it and put a nuclear bomb in it and blow it up. This blows it into two pieces which are still headed for Earth and big enough to cause catastrophic damage. The first piece hits in the Atlantic Ocean and generates a gigantic tsunami which destroys New York City and other things. The second is blown up by the astronauts flying into it and detonating a nuclear bomb on the ship. The special effects in the movie are very good. Especially the giant wave effects. They're terrifying.
Bman777 It's crazy ... Throughout the movie, everyone shows very little reaction to the news that a comet the size of Manhattan is hurtling to Earth, potentially killing every person and creature on our planet. The expressions on the actors and actresses are blank, emotionless, kind of immediately resigned to dying in about a year. Weird how other reviews liked the acting and how the flick touched them. I seriously don't get it. Deep Impact was too unrealistic by how Americans acted or really didn't act. In reality, mass hysteria would build, criminal and impulsive behaviors would increase, and society would start unraveling. The President was totally unbelievable and and the reporter was literally like a zombie, stating horrible news like someone who is reporting the loss of a championship high school football game. No one reacted realistically. The characters on the rescue ship made efforts at showing some human emotion, but they came off as wooden and dull. The major flaw in the movie is that most people on Earth ... including the main characters ... would react far more strongly, more unpredictably, than the way everyone reacts in the flick.
