Michael Biehn is a fantastic actor and his role in this movie was excellent. This is a excellent movie to me. I would like to buy it on DVD.

I am a huge Michael Biehn fan. I saw this movie on tv when it was a miniseries. Even without the commercials, this movie would have been more than 120 minutes, trust me, I actually calculated just how long this movie SHOULD be on DVD or VHS - it should be approximately 145 minutes. There were a bunch of necessary scenes taken out that shouldn't have been. But the film itself was still a good edge of ur seat kind of movie and Annabella Sciorra did a great job also. I too would like to know why this movie cost so much. Personally, I'd say that the price is a rip off, I mean, I was doing some price checking and I found a few other places (after I bought the movie of course), that were actually selling it for $70 LESS!! Someone is ripping the Amazon customers off and cleaning up and I think that Amazon.com should monitor them.

Although I absolutely loved this movie, I have only one question:
Why is this movie $99 and not even "new??"

I liked this movie. It was thought provoking and insightful with the action taking place in a location not usually seen before. Dallas, Texas was a good choice as it is highly populated, but not typical like New York, or Los Angeles. Being a Colorado girl, I liked that the NOAA facility in Boulder was used. The FEMA aspect was something new not usually included in these types of movies, and gave a more human element to the story instead of focusing on the impending disaster.
 Better the first two times when it was called "Deep Impact" and "Armaggedon" March 7, 2008

You've heard the story before. An asteroid is on a direct path with earth. Cue ball meets eight ball. People are going crazy, chaos reigns supreme, and only a select few can be saved.
It's a shame Michael Biehn has this blemish on his career. He was in Terminator and Navy Seals for goodness sakes! In this flop, however, he's paired with an unsatisfying collection of B-level flunkees and "that guy" actors. And the asteroid "special effects", whoa, they look like a really bad film scene from a first generation video game that didn't sell very well.
Aside from the completely preposterous asteroid scenes, the destruction of the city as a result of an asteroid-on-dam collision is completely pathetic and laughable in every way possible. The "city" is clearly a model set, and there is absolutely no attempt to disguise this fact. I felt like I was watching a child's toys being destroyed by an overzealous parent watering the lawn.
There's nearly nothing likable, enjoyable, or believable in the entire movie. Watch it if you want to make fun of it, or if you want to see how a bad movie is made. On a side note, for such a craptastic movie, the film's length makes it similar to a root canal without anesthesia.
