An intelligent screenplay, talented cast, touching soundtrack, decent editing/pacing and excellent cinematography come together in fantastic cinematic fashion.

Some ofAn intelligent screenplay, talented cast, touching soundtrack, decent editing/pacing and excellent cinematography come together in fantastic cinematic fashion. Watch on the biggest screen with the biggest audio for the deepest impact. Some of the lines are a bit cheesy and many of the more ambitious visual effects don't hold up so well in 2022 but the heart of the story is here to see and enjoy all these years later.… Expand

The science is spot on and the graphics were way ahead of their time.

Thank you to every one who worked on this gem!… Expand

Deep Impact is a pretty good movie with a very unfortunate name. It is another story that plays into people fears about the end of the world, with a situation we rarely think about. As far as stories go, this is a good one, telling the storyDeep Impact is a pretty good movie with a very unfortunate name. It is another story that plays into people fears about the end of the world, with a situation we rarely think about. As far as stories go, this is a good one, telling the story from four different angles. Tea Leoni's was by far the most interesting, as an up and coming reporter from a troubled family, who becomes the face of the crisis. What I didn't like was the storyline in space, where the would be heroes try to stop the asteroid. It just seemed unnecessary and like it dragged on. If the legendary Robert Duvall wasn't one of the astronauts, I'm pretty sure most of those scenes would have been cut. Deep Impact has a great cast, with a strong story, but it's also a little slow and cheesy at points, but it's a much better movie than most of the other end of the world scenario films.… Expand

A really deep movie that does a good job of showing the world in this situation. I really like how it doesn't focus on just one person as the "hero," but rather select individuals. Although, Morgan Freeman does tend to steal the show, as usual.

Easily one of the greatest movies of all time, and the greatest disaster movie of all time. Very emotional and heart-wrenching, and brilliantly plotted, with great special effects.

The cast played their characters nicely. The direction was good. The running time was proper 2 hour and not like Armageddon which sas unnecessarily stretched to 2hr 30min. The pacing was also proper, you will not get bored. The logic in the story was far better than Armageddon.

It's hard to believe how did this movie grossed less than Armageddon. It's box-office collection is proof that movie is underrated. Overall, give it a try. You eill enjoy it.… Expand
