Find Out What's on Television
One of two "asteroid-hits-Earth" disaster films to come out in quick succession in the late nineties, "Deep Impact" proves to be the superior of the two ("Armageddon" is just atrocious, thanks Michael Bay!) by offering a somewha
t realistic, downbeat approach to the proceedings, while miraculously delivering on a big special effects destructive finale AND delivering a believable ending where the world doesn't end and hope of life going on is re-instated. Another big plus working in the film's favour is the all-star cast with Morgan Freeman playing a black President (a nice touch), Tea Leoni playing the second tier reporter that breaks the story about an impending doomsday comet approaching Earth, Elijah Wood playing an astronomy student who first sees the comet through his telescope, and the always great Robert Duvall as the aging astronaut who goes out in to space one last time with his intrepid youthful crew to try and destroy the comet before it ever reaches the Earth.
