May 8, 1998 · Action. 115 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 1998. Roger Ebert. May 8, 1998. 4 min read. Early in “Deep Impact” we learn that a comet “the size of Mt. Everest” is on a collision course for Earth. There would seem to be two possible outcomes: (1) The comet hits Earth, destroying it, or (2) the comet does not hit Earth, in which case humanity is ...

Deep Impact is a tale of comets, politics, total destruction, and the increasingly poor decisions of hormonal teenage astronomer Leo Biederman (played by a young, pre-Hobbit Elijah Wood). When Biederman discovers a giant comet that poses an imminent threat to Earth, a team of astronauts attempt to nuke the comet into oblivion. After this plan goes ...
Deep Impact actually features something close to a realistic look at how our society might face a major impact event — although in our world, it’d probably be much, much worse. Here’s how some of the the scenarios the movie shows us might play out in real life: Premise #1: A massive comet is about to hit the planet and kill everything on it. How of...
More confusingly, Wolf-Biederman is possibly the brightest, highest-albedo comet that has ever existed. I can handle the lovely, artistic blue as an ion tail (even though it’s pointing in entirely the wrong direction as real comet tales point away from the sun, not away from the direction of travel), but how is a dirty mess of dust, ice, and rock p...
Okay. So, all that comet-dust. It’s still the same mass, just in bitty pieces now, right? That shit still causes problems when it enters the atmosphere on that kind of scale. Worse, even a pathos-enhanced suicide-run explosion of the same number of nukes that split the comet before isn’t going to be able to totally decimate the comet to bite-sized ...
Deep Impact is a surprisingly plausible doomsday scenario, although verging on overly-optimistic at times. Slap some red filters on any light that comes near an astronomer, make the tsunami significantly more scary, and add in some post-apocalyptic Mad Max collapse of society, and you might have a fairly realistic look at what will happen if we kee...
Deep Impact (United States, 1998) A movie review by James Berardinelli. Another summer, another double-dip of disaster dramas. This time around, instead of volcanoes, it's comets. The films in question, Mimi Leder's Deep Impact and Michael Bay's Armageddon, are separated by two months, so the first should have a chance to run its course before ...

While not as over-the-top and as enjoyably ludicrous as the all-time banger Armageddon, Deep Impact is still a 90s disaster film so that classification alone makes it a must-watch in my book. It's much more serious and is heavier on the schmalzty melodrama but it definitely has it's moments of delightful cheese.
