A great big rock hits the earth, and lots of people die. That's pretty much all there is to it, and most of that was in the trailer. Can a major Hollywood movie really squeak by with such a slender excuse for a premise? The old disaster-movie king, cheese-meister Irwin Allen (The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake), would have made a kitsch classic out of this, with Charlton Heston, rather than a resigned and mumbly Robert Duvall, as the veteran astronaut who risks several lives trying to blow up the comet that's headed right this way! As stiffly directed by Mimi Leder, this thick slice of ham errs on the side of solemnity. It may the be most earnest end-of-the-world picture since Stanley Kramer's atomic-doom drama On the Beach. There are a couple of classic melodramatic flourishes: an estranged father and daughter who share a tearful reconciliation as a Godzilla-sized tidal wave looms on the horizon; and an astronaut, communicating on video with his loved ones back on Earth, who follows whispered instructions from a buddy lurking just off camera--so that his little boy won't realize that he's been struck blind. With Morgan Freeman as the president of the United States. --David Chute

 Deep Impact February 10, 2010
Sioux-z-anne (Laredo, TX)
I love this movie, I know its very cliche that America always has to come up the hero and saviour of the planet, but you have to admit, we would be the only ones that would care, and possibly the only ones that have the knowledge. Gotta love the possibilities.

This is a morose maudlin end of the world movie, made by a woman, for women. Lots of tears and hugs...pure treakle.
It does not entertain...and as stupid as the premise of Armageddon was...at least Armageddon had ENTERTAINMENT...pass up 'Deep Impact' and go be entertained by 'Armageddon'.

I'll help you out. It's tricky, you may get dizzy and need to nap a while. The movies you mention that are all region, state "All Region" in the description. I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I'm figuring that if it doesn't say "All Region", it's going to be US region encoded as you're on amazon.com. Buy from amazon.co.uk if you're worried because, and it's obvious you don't know this, Blu-Ray regions are NOT designated 1, 2, 3 etc, but are split into only 3 regions labeled A, B and C. B being Europe.
In future, don't rate a movie lower simply because you have no idea what you're talking about.
Great Blu-ray transfer! Still holds up! October 8, 2009

Although this movie is now over 10 years old, it still is as captivating as ever. Deep Impact premiered in theatres along the same time as Armageddon with a similar premise. This film, however, has more heart and feels less like a summer blockbuster. Add to that Morgan Freeman portraying the President, and you have a total package! The transfer looks perfect and the acting is superb. Only a few onscreen moments date this film: specifically the technology the characters use. Check it out to see Elijah in his pre-The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Theatrical Editions) [Blu-ray] career!
