Best movie of this year hands down!

The Worst Film Ever

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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

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.

Deep Impact was very moving, especially with Tea Leoni's character reuniting with her father at the end, which was very sad and touching.I still think about the constitutional issues in Deep Impact. Here the US President Beck (played by Morgan Freeman) arranges for the Government to pre-select 200K individuals (scientists, etc) and a lottery to select 800K Americans under 50 years to be in a Missouri limestone cave.Thankfully the USA didn't get completely wiped out by the comet but can you imagine the next presidential election? For one, President Beck's lost the over 50 vote. He's also lost the votes of the millions who missed out in the lottery, big time. No way President Beck would even win the party's nomination. No way he should bother standing in the primaries. No chance.

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.
