Review

 

Fourteen-year-old Leo Beiderman (Elijah Wood) did not expect to make an earth-shattering discovery when he joined his high school astronomy club. He didn't expect to make any discoveries at all; he simply hoped that classmate Sarah Hotchner (Leelee Sobieski) would discover him. Yet a photograph he takes through his small telescope makes him co-discoverer of Comet Wolf-Beiderman...a comet that scientists determine is on a fatal collision course with the Earth.

What would you do if you knew that in a handful of days an enormous comet would collide with Earth and all humanity could be annihilated?

A fantastic disaster movie, with great effects, touching and emotional storylines and an absolutely gripping story, the ending is so nerve shreddingly brilliant and is actually quite scary when you think about it.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Oceans rise. Cities fall. Hope survives.

This in my opinion is far better than Armageddon dont get me wrong Armageddon was a great film but I feel this film was much stronger with emotions and story.
The film begins when a teenage amateur astronomer discover a comet on a direct collision course for the Earth. The world is then thrown into turmoil has humanity has to accept their possible extinction. While NASA sends a shuttle up with the intention to try to blow the comet to bits, the US government selects people to be saved in a cave they are building to withstand the event. Focusing on various unrelated characters, the film shows how people react differently to the destruction of all that they know.
Deep impact is differnt from many films as gives a very human side to tragedy and devastation by showing how ordinary people cope in times of crisis but it avoids the trap of being trite and overly-sentimental. Hence the 5stars i give it

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars its the end of the world as we know it
