@terencecolings486 - true, expecially considering ELE. Good approach there. For example, we know exactly what has happened 12K years ago, that most likley wiped out pretty much the whole planet (after all, this is why it is called ELE, extinction for most of us, plants, animals, whole ecosystems, humans and so on). The astronomical data is out there. And it pretty much wiped out whatever civilization that was there at that time (global or not), and plenty of data suggest that we had a high level civilization back then. In a way after that, we (as a civilization) had to start from s scratch. Go back to the "stone age". And that, the rise of civilization is not like a simple curve going just up all the time, but more like a weave (due to the external astronomical events). And that is not even going into legends/myths of the time before the "Flood", the first King after the Flood who could actually read the writing from before, old myths from Babylonia, Akkad, Epic of Atrahasis, and so on, Sumer and other around the world, and that would include Golden Age, the age of "gods" and myths regarding that... So yeah, most likely we have been wiped out few times before. Kind of: civilization as we know would have been gone (or is gone at this point), wiped out completely, but humans/humanity as such would survive here and there, and some of that can be cyclical type of event too (and that is actually scary part). Note: more info about paleolitic extinction - from the official sources can be found by reading something like: "Paleolitic Extinction and the Taurid Complex", by W.M Napier from Cardiff Centre for Astrobiology, Cardiff University (2010). But there is plenty of more data out there. Note that this is pretty much a scientific abstract, hence quite "academic" to read.

So true, this movie got nothing but depth and subtility. Yet to this day it's still often wrongly overlooked as an over the top blockbuster, just a rip off Armageddon (which I like as well for completely diferent reasons, just a very fun ride). But you said it very well, Deep Impact does stay with you long after the credits. I saw it in theater, it stayed with me for 25 years and I still rewatch it with pleasure and emotions every now and then.

We get so involved in the story that we don't realize how big Jenny's sacrifice was: she could have taken the helicopter all the way to the caves and survived even the second impact, but she traded the rest of her life just to reconcile with her father in life and nothing more (plus saving beth and her kid)

I still to this day, love the line about naming high schools after them. It just makes me smile a bit. Gotta find the positive in everything I guess.

The Director of this movie, Mimi Leder, was a top-tier director on the TV show "ER" during it's early seasons and earned great acclaim and won an Emmy. Her first theatrical movie was "The Peacemaker" with George Clooney and Nicole Kidman. After that, came "Deep Impact." It was released the same year as "Armageddon", also about an asteroid hitting earth, and "Deep Impact" was overshadowed by it, despite, in my opinion, being the far superior movie. It always bothered me that she never got another shot at directing a big budget action-adventure movie after this. It's very clear from "The Peacemaker" and especially "Deep Impact" that she possessed a rare skill to make tense, well constructed action while balancing it with great character work. Great reaction!

I was so impressed by both Peacemaker and Deep Impact, I thought she would become a much better name in Cinema.

Duvall and Freeman were the only real big names. This was pre-LOTR and pre-MCU and pre-Mandalorian, so Elijah and Jon weren't big names.

Elijah Wood wasn’t yet a huge name, but he was an experienced actor, so he was a solid get. He had a great reputation in Hollywood as an extremely professional child actor, and he was mid-way through his teen film phase, after The Ice Storm and before The Faculty. (I love how he burnished that reputation-he stepped in at the last minute for the 1994 Oscars when Kit Culkin started throwing a diva fit that Macaulay had to get more than the scale pay all of the presenters got. The producers called EW’s mom/manager, he nailed the line reading on stage, and the story got around Hollywood in less than 12 hours of the ceremony.) Getting cast as Frodo at the age of 18 was the perfect timing to move him from teen actor to adult actor. When I saw the cast list for LOTR, my first reaction to his name as Frodo was, “Isn’t that the kid from Deep Impact?” This was really the only film of his I had seen at that point. It was only after seeing FOTR that I started obsessively watching all of the cast members’ previous films. (Which is how I discovered great Viggo performances like Lucifer in The Prophecy, but that’s another post…)

This movie hit me like a ton of bricks when it came out. It was so emotional and so well crafted as a story. At its heart it was about people, not spectacle. This film has sat with me for 25 years now. There are so many moments in it that will stick with me for the rest of my life because they had such an effect on me. You might say it had a deep impact, if you'll pardon the pun.

Seeking a friend for the end of the world is like an alternate version of this story. The mission fails and its about how everyone copes. Great film

What got my attention in "Deep Impact" (1998) was Morgan Freeman as "President Tom Beck." What and how he said to a nation/world threatened by a nearly unstoppable natural disaster was just right. Another "short-but-memorable-screen-time" role. The "Ellie/E.L.E." thing showed that the End Of The World could happen when we least expect it.

Not just a disaster movie. A quite good movie, even without the disaster.

@@BasketCase-rr7tx Some people don't like the extra that Armageddon has. It's like a pizza where they only want pepperoni, maybe extra cheese. You know which one is the meat lovers. Six different kinds of meats? Even I would get the slice with the least amount of sausage or pick them out. When it came out I liked Deep Impact more but easily see how people can enjoy Armageddon more. People like to have fun at the movies. Armageddon does that better and will probably last longer for it. Deep Impact is basic with melodrama you call "one note" like pepperoni thrown on top. Back then it was fancy enough competing with Armageddon. Add time where 'ooh and aah' wears off, then ya can only wish it held up like Jaws or Jurassic Park.

I prefer this one over "Armageddon". Standing on the shore while a giant wave comes in is both horrifying and badass at the same time. This movie connects more with me on that level because it makes the movie very different from the much more typical Armageddon type of movie focused more on the actual disaster and heroes. Also, for me, it's the magnificent James Horner score that makes the movie. One of his finest scores.

Its more realistic and more suspenseful than armageddon. Less star power and less explosions than a Michael Bay film.

I saw that movie in cinema here in the Philippines way back in 1998. The cinema was full and I noticed there were moviegoers who shed tears as they got emotionally touched. In my view, Deep Impact was a modernized take on the Hollywood disaster film genre and its formula.

Half of the natural disaster movies are small scale (Volcano, Dante's Peak) and the other half are world ending (Armageddon, The Core). However, Deep Impact is definitely the best of them all. The casting, the acting, the not so happy ending. These elements make this movie more realistic and enjoyable. Great reaction and I hope you start a creature feature series soon. I recommend The Relic, Nope, Jeeper Creepers, Attack The Block, Mimic, Cloverfield, The Thing and Pitch Black. Most of theses are horror thrillers but a great experience to have under your belt.

I agree about the quality of Deep Impact vs. Armageddon and the other, also, very good. Don’t forget about The Day After Tomorrow. I know it’s a bit cheesy but it is fun and it is climate-related, one of the few at is and, given the world today, it is topical.

This film is filled with heart and soul. Great reaction! 👍🏿

One of the few movies to make me cry. The scene when Orin's family arrives and he speaks to his son? I can never dying without having ever seen my son. That gets me every time. Waterworks. And that alone is why I put this above Armageddon. Both were good to me. But Armageddon was fun, this was heartbreaking. My opinion, anyway.

Another movie with the same theme that never got any attention was “Greenland.” It was well worth seeing also!

The film that made me ask: How can we be in 2020 & tv/films still can't get Diabetes right. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I watched this when I was 16 years old at the theater and it’s the only movie that made me literally cry like a baby. My friends made fun of me but I don’t care. It seems real. Also James Horner score really elevates the emotional scenes.

That's the first time I've seen this since I was a kid, and it hits so different now, crying like a baby.

I went to the theater to watch this one when it came out and I was devastated and horrorized but fascinated with the space since then. True Fact: NASA and other countries watch out looking for asteroids that could potentially hit us, but they can only cover a part of it, since it´s so big out there. It is known that it could actually happen that one day they could find something so big and so close that like in this case, there could not be enough time to do something about it, that´s why recently they had been doing tests and even went and tried with one that was not in colition risk with the Earth, to see if it was possible to deflect the trayectory of a celestial body, just in case it could happen. I thought about this when Cassie said that now she understood why they spend so much money on the space proyects. That´s why.

I always tear up when Sarah's parents hand over their baby to her.

The astronauts said they couldn't do anything about the little one, but they could finish off the big one. The little one was still devastating, but survivable. As to why NASA didn't know about the comet, space is big. We only have the ability to see about 3% of it at a time. Even with all the astronomers looking at the sky.

Deep Impact is my favorite disaster movie of all time. I’ve seen it close to 100 times and it still gets to me. I was hoping Cassie and Carly liked it as much as I do, looks like they did. Love the cast, the music, Freeman is the best movie President. I love this movie😄

Not only more scientifically accurate than Armageddon; just better made all-around. A really good movie, that happens to have an incredibly powerful disaster in it.

Thankfully none of the astronauts caught Space Dementia in this movie. I too am in the camp that prefers this one over Armageddon. Great reaction ladies, glad you liked it.

This was the first movie (that I vividly remember) making me cry at 10 years old. At the end I turned to my mother and asked "why did they have to die" I don't remember her response but I know I ran to my room, jumped on my bed and cried

The scene on the beech was one of the few things in any movie that got me to shed a tear. Briliant acting and a powerful film.

I remember crying watching this when it came out. This movie and Armageddon came out a year or two after the Shoemaker Levy-9 comet hit Jupiter. NASA was telling the world that there were millions of objects they didn't have the funding to detect. These movies were instrumental in getting public support to establish a program to catalog them. I think they're up to 80+% of the large objects now, and work is ongoing.

I remember when Deep Impact came out right in the midst of the 90s disaster movie era. There was nothing like that tsunami scene at the time.

This movie is the more emotional for me of the two asteroid disaster movies of this time. Love it. I can't wait for you to see Dante's Peak. It holds a soft spot in my heart, even though it's nothing special from a narrative perspective.

I think Morgan Freeman got cast as the POTUS in at least 5 different movies over the years. He just has this huge presence on screen that is almost beyond charisma. This movie is a prime example of why you’d want a man like him to address the nation in dire times. This is one of my favourite movies but I was surprised it still makes me cry my eyes out even though I know what’s coming.

I was an astronomy major when this and Armageddon came out, my professor (head of our department) absolutely *hated* Armageddon lol but said that Deep Impact was pretty close to what we'd do in this situation and portrayed the events leading up to the comet's impact and destruction pretty well; he said instead of flying the nukes up we'd fire them out since our accuracy with them would be very high, even at great distances, and we already have a plan in place for this. I haven't watched this since I became a parent and the movie just hits different now. As hard as it was, thanks for watching this one.

I remember this came out before Armageddon. I was cab driver back then. The week after the weekend I watched Armageddon I had customers in the cab and asked me how I liked it. I said remember Deep Impact? They said "Yes". I said the amount of special effects in that movie are in the first third of Armageddon. They said "Wow"..

This one really hits you in the feels. It packs an emotional punch with a top cast. Had a feeling it would pull you girls into it emotionally. I def prefer it to Armageddon. Even tho Armageddon is a rip roaring good time. This one was more emotional and realistic in what would really happen if we were faced with this sort of situation. Great reactions girls

When Oren says “we don’t” I feel a true hero response there. I cry a lot in this movie. And I know there are special people like that today. The policeman that protect a innocent with his body. The fireman that jumps in to a burning building to rescue someone. The lifeguard at the beach that swims real fast against big waves to save someone from drowning. Those kind of people, OMG, they are the best.

Meteor disaster movies became very popular in the late 90s after the Shoemaker-Levy 9 event, in which multiple impacts occurred on Jupiter and the realization that a meteor strike is what actually killed the dinosaurs. I remember being fascinated by this during my youth.

The cast for this film is absolutely insane!!! Like one after another just tons of talent in one single film

Charles Martin Smith, who playes Dr. Wolf here, had a prominent role in the John Carpenter movie "Starman" 14 years ealier. "Starman" stars Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen, and while a space-themed romance sounds 'cheesy' it's a beautiful movie, for which Bridges was nominated for an Oscar.
