About
If you want a somber, human-focused end-of-the-world disaster with real-world panic and a joint space mission, Deep Impact delivers; Not for you if you only want nonstop action like Armageddon or prefer a tighter, less emotionally cluttered plot.
Pros: strong effects; tense disaster feel; notable cast | Cons: messy emotional subplots; uneven performances; story drags
