Watch Deep Impact For Free

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is a "spielberguesque"movie telling a story about a planetary crisis caused by a coming asteroid that could cause an extinction level event tackling the impact that first of all it would have on individual people and society. Succeeding more in the first of the parts.It's decent to itself and to its audience for what it is with a couple of very good scenes. What this movies succeeds in it to make you feel the awe about such an event and really try to put you there. I have seen many comparisons to the imbecilic abomination called armageddon. It has nothing to do with it.People who enjoyed armageddon as sci fi and not as trash movie do not have the intellectual capacity to enjoy this one for sure.

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

When i was young i used to be easily impressed by movies. As time went on getting me less pure and innocent, this strange relationship of mine with "fiction" started to fail, which i think is healthy and understandable. And then of course there was a time when i got really demanding as a viewer, not been impressed and influenced easily by every single film that tried to shock me this or the other way. "Deep Impact" has been one of the very few films -maybe the only Hollywood made one- which influenced my deeper feelings that much, as to make me have nightmares about it. "Deep Inpact" is not totally Hollywood cliché free. Yet they are not annoying and seem totally acceptable given the story the film is about. And unlike "Armagedon" - its "twin" film since it was released at the same time and had more or less the same story to tell- which was full of cliché and stereotypes from the beginning to its end and therefore predictable and boring to death, "Deep Impact" manages to avoid easy solutions and focusing on real world characters makes the viewer live through them the feelings of the ultimate desperation and agony the unavoidable hyper disaster of the end of the world, their own and their beloved ones end, make them feel. This film is not just another "science fiction" movie. Actually its a 99% science and only 1% fiction one. And the events as they are illustrated in it, from the beginning to the end, are so convincing therefore upsetting that may enter the world of your nightmares too -like they have mine. For we all know that a deep impact like the one this film depicts is anything but an impossible real world scenario and if, or better when it occurs the way people will be informed about it and will speechless have to face and experience it will be more or less exactly like this film shows.

I started watching Deep Impact out of curiosity. The premise itself is quite interesting; a world preparing for the inevitable extinction-level-event that will occur, but like the work of Roland Emmerich, the story is stretched far too thin, exploring too many characters.Any aspect of the story; the child who first found the meteor, the journalist who first uncovers the government conspiracy, the astronauts who try to stop the comet before it hits earth, or the older woman facing her inevitable demise, could've been their own standalone film, but instead the filmmakers decided to push everything into a single film, making every aspect shallow and rushed.By far my favourite part of the movie are the astronauts. The scene where they plant bombs on the comet in attempts to destroy or alter its course, is by far the most dramatic and emotionally resonant aspect of the film. The effects were also very good for the time. Thankfully, a movie called Sunshine with a similar but different premise explored this sort of story further. The worst part of the story is the kid's story. This kid discovered the comet that would destroy the earth, and all he cares about is boning some girl (and this is made clear in the film, when one of his classmates says in front of an entire school "You can have sex with any girl you want" for discovering the comet), to the point where he convinces her to marry him to save her family. That is really offensive and creepy, and shouldn't have ever been treated with the whimsy this film did. He could've used his apparent authority to save more people, perhaps his entire class, but instead he marries a 14 year old girl.The rest of the film is decent to mediocre. The President, played by Morgan Freeman, is incredibly interesting, as there is an air of sinister around him when he captures a journalist. But as I said before, most of the film is shallow due to how spread out the film's focus is.In Conclusion:Pros: -Astronaut storyline -Morgan Freeman as President -The Landing on the Comet scene -The impact of the first cometCons: -The Soundtrack -The kid storyline -The dialogue -Too many characters6/10
