Deep Impact (1998) - Full Reaction
Added 2023-06-21 08:30:01 +0000 UTC
Well this was more than we were bargaining for! A heart punch for our matinee... So many familiar faces, sorry if we were being annoying, we couldn't stop placing people. Is it weird how much this disaster 90's movie made me evaluate life choices? Started off Disaster Days with a bang!

They couldn't do it earlier. The huge vent that they flew into to get the nukes inside the big chunk didn't open up until they were closer to the sun. Also, they couldn't blow the nukes without getting the launch codes, which they couldn't do until they were close enough to contact NASA on the low-band radio.

Wow, revisiting this movie, it is excellent. The writing is what really stood out to me. It has a somewhat ethereal, spiritual tone to it. The writing on disaster movies is often poor, and this is definitely an exception. The pacing and balanced statements of the President's speeches are almost biblical, and full of biblical references ("the waters receded" is from the story of Noah's Flood, for example).
I looked up the writer and he ended up going off into a sort of Jewish spiritualist direction, which wasn't surprising given all those references. Anyways, great film and reaction.

It was fun revisiting this one! It was better than I remember actually.
Except for the one major plot hole which is, why the heck didn't the crew blow up the bigger asteroid the first chance they got when they found out the original attempt didn't change the trajectory? They were just sitting on 4 extra nukes the whole time and never thought to be like "hey, maybe we can try again" until the world was minutes away from ELE? If they blew up the big one earlier they could have saved millions of more people by organizing massive transportation to already set up camps on mountains to avoid the waves from the first blast.
Yeah the crew would have died but they would have done it in a heartbeat if they knew it would literally save the world and their loved ones at home. Just makes zero sense.
But nevertheless, it was still a fun one and would love to see a reaction to Armageddon which is even better. Its funnier, better action, and more emotional and better ending.

I'm sure this has already been recommended in the comments but y'all should definitely check out Mimi Leder's other film "The Peacemaker" with George Clooney and Nicole Kidman. A great underrated action thriller with stolen nukes and Clooney being a macho military guy saving the day.

This is one of the few disaster movies that wasn't just a amusement park ride of a movie. I actually cared when many of the characters died as they felt more real than most disaster movie characters, who are usually just stereotypes that you're either supposed to feel glad or sad about dying.

For some reason the studios thought the best thing to do was race to copy other studios projects and try to get them out first. Of course it still goes on today, just not quite as blatant. like as soon as Marvel became successful everyone started putting out superhero films.

Wolff died in the car crash. Biederman (Frodo) was the one who first saw the comet. Wolff named the comet Wolff Biederman because he wanted the kid to receive credit for discovering the comet. The authorities believed Wolff and Biederman both died in the crash because comets are usually named after the scientists that discovered them. This was all very clearly explained in the movie... Same goes for the nukes. They make it very clear they use multiple nukes in an attempt to steer the comet away from its collision course. It really wasn't that difficult to follow.
Eric
2023-06-24 21:28:28 +0000 UTC
If you're entering into the Disaster Movie genre, why not continue with the two movies that started them all, Airport (1970) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972).

@Kevin - It wasn't a thing, the thing was, some people THOUGHT the public wouldn't accept it- those people are the bigots. There have been black movie and TV Presidents since at least the '70s (and I'm seeing, maybe the 1930s). Hell, Tiny Lister was the President just one year earlier in The Fifth Element- nobody cared.

This film was right up your Alley. Glad to have been able to enjoy it with ya’ll. Thank You. This was a Real Treat.
By the way… keep the Tissue Box filled. ;-)
Deep Impact was directed by, One of the many underrated Female Producers and Directors of Film and TV, Mimi Leder.
She directed the terrific film Pay it Forward (2000), which I believe you have seen.
If you’ve never watched the series, ER (1994 - 2009) 15 Seasons, then I Highly Recommend it. Not for the channel obviously, but just to see an Amazing Series that ran for 15 years with terrific, believable characters and realistic stories. Also the series made a Star out of George Clooney. Mimi Leder was a producer and director on the first couple seasons.
She was also the producer and director on another Awesome show, HBO’s The Leftovers, for all 3 Seasons. This is more doable for the channel, with only 28 episodes, if you are looking for a series to consider.
And It appears Mimi Leder is working on the Apple series, The Morning Show, with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. I haven’t seen this yet, but have heard good things.
Larry Darrell

Having "trouble" seeing Morgan Freeman as the president (If he can play God why shouldn't he be president?) is one of those "our kids are never going to believe that this was a thing" things. I hope.

Roger Ebert gave Deep Impact 2.5/4 stars, but in his review of Armageddon summed up the two movies perfectly: "'Deep Impact,' which, compared with 'Armageddon,' belongs on the American Film Institute list."

Actually, this kind of event has happened to Earth before several times, most recently 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs were rendered extinct. This could happen just like the film depicted. We would probably see an object this big several years before it impacted, but that's still not much time to put together a deflection mission. NASA just tried its first ever asteroid deflection during the DART mission just recently, so we are starting to learn what it will take! https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-confirms-dart-mission-impact-changed-asteroid-s-motion-in-space

She has definitely said, “I still do not know if I have seen Armageddon or not.”
If you “do not know” if you have seen Armageddon or not, then you have not seen Armageddon. She should watch it.
Deep Impact is certainly the Better Movie, but that does not make Armageddon a bad movie.
It’s A Lot of Fun… and still bring the Tissues.

Thought it was pretty clear they used 4 Nukes in the initial blast.
Multiple Nukes were seen being loaded and armed before going to surface.
“Loading First Nuke Now.”
Usage of the Plural… nukes, moles, “each one carries a 5 thousand kiloton warhead”
numbered locations… Hole 3, Hole 4
“Houston, All Moles are at depth. Nukes hot and ready.”
Seems reasonable that the original plan was for 4 Nukes. That’s why there were 4 Backups.
“The two scientists who found the comet were killed in a car crash while racing from their observatory to alert the world.”
We only ever saw One Car Crash. The President says, “a car crash.” Singular.
Sticks right. It’s Amazing what happens when you actually pay attention.

2023-06-23 03:42:44 +0000 UTC
When this movie came out, it was intense and disturbing, but there was the reassurance that it could never really happen. Then Covid hit and the world shut down from a disease, something I thought was impossible in this modern age So I no longer look at movies like this with scepticism. Interesting movie trivia--there was a bit of controversey in casting Morgan Freeman as the president since some felt the public would not really accept a black man as president of the United States. But ten years later, we elected one for real. Sometimes Hollywood gets the jump on the future.

Deep Impact is one of my top ten movies of all time. I've watched it so many times that I would not have watched it again for a long time. But sharing this with you both was wonderful. I know you will love Dante's Peak. I think my only copy of Dante's Peak is VHS, so I will have to get a digital one before you air it. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. I really enjoy these movies much more after taking Geology courses 2 years ago. Have a great rest of June and I thought you reactions were spot on.

Humanity is doomed and doesn't matter which nation/society/civilization in which time period it is. Every nation that has come up has eventually failed. The earth itself was better off before mankind ever came to be. The life of humans is not a blessing, nor a curse. It's random and death is the only way out. Bring on the apocalypse via a comet, super flu, nuclear war, whatever.
William Bryan
2023-06-23 00:11:03 +0000 UTC
I can imagine what it says about the leaders of a nation whose citizens wish for a comet to come wipe everything clean. When I say leaders I'm talking about 3 million people who claim to be in charge.

Thanks for watching this, it was always one of my picks. I'm glad you liked it and that it had an effect on both of you. I appreciate how the astronauts are portrayed here. It makes up just a little for the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster a decade before which left a gaping wound... so to speak, in the psyche of a people.
Also yes, saving humanity is worth it. That means going into space, learning more about space and the dangers that come from there. We live on one planet, we ought to know what the neighborhood is like. We need to be more comfortable out there. And also to have the perspective of looking back to see how fragile and alone is our tiny blue marble in the emptiness of space... a pale blue dot caught as if a mote shining in a beam of sunlight...

I've always liked this one. While most disaster films are just excuses to indulge in eye-popping spectacle, cheesy dialogue and fun but slightly distasteful games of "who's going to die next?" this one actually attempted to deal seriously with its premise, tell an emotional story and pose profound questions. This is the disaster genre raised the level of art and compared to the similarly-plotted (and admittedly more popular but also far less intelligent) ARMAGEDDON, this looks (as Roger Ebert aptly put it) "like it belongs on the AFI list."

Robert, don't quote me on this, I remember that she has seen Armageddon already B4 the channel but I might be remembering wrong.
Edit: Just checked and Cassie has seen it but Carly hasn't so maybe a rewatch later in the future

Right now I preferred this to Armageddon too having just rewatched, but maybe a part of it is cos I've seen Arma so many many times this was refreshing.

I couldn't wait to see who scored it in the credits. What an amazing composer and such a huge loss to the industry.

Great Robert Duvall movie I don't think you've seen yet: Falling Down (with Michael Douglas). Its themes were prescient in 1993 - even more so now.

I think if they'd smushed the two movies together - Deep Impact and Armageddon - you'd have a great movie. One has the emotion, the other has the action. I love Armageddon but it's one of the most over-edited films ever made. For every normal cut, they throw in eight.

Robert Duval is just believable in any movie he is in. Cowboy, Astronaut, Fighter Pilot ... you name it. He can play it

I think you definitely need to watch Armageddon as well. Same premise. Asteroid/comet on collision course with Earth. Both movies released in the same year. But that’s where the similarities end. I think it’d be interesting to see which you guys like more.

Robin Craft: Freeman is the US President in the third of the "Has Fallen" movie series with Gerald Butler. ANGEL HAS FALLEN (2019) is the one where he is President.
Celeste McAllister: now, now, no politics. 😛 I could say that President Tom Beck, I think, would do a better job than President Thomas Whitmore from INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Oohwaa. Carly did NOT do all the things, at least we did not see her do them. They should film a special insert shot of her doing all the things and drop it in for the YT edit.

I was trying to point out that fact that it's poor writing ans 2ed of all 8 NUKES?? they should have use that 4 I mean sure it will have been a short movie but COME ON!!!

Elijah Wood with the big blue eyes,makes me wonder if Middle earth begins where DI leaves off,this was not what I was expecting so box of tissues emotional,where Armageddon failed Deep Impact succeeded..OK guy's next disastrous movie!

The character she has played that I disliked was the neurotic wife in "Spanglish".

That's the plot of the next Fast & Furious film.

This isn't the only film that Morgan Freeman's character is the President right? I can't think of the other one.. Anyway he's on my Mount Rushmore of Hollywood voices along with Sam Elliot, James Earl Jones and Alan Rickman (RIP).

Not really a happy ending , more about the triumph of the human spirit.

It's been a long time since I've seen this before now, and the volume was kind of screwy on the copy I have, so I couldn't catch some of the dialogue, which means I could be wrong about this. But about the two guys who discovered the comet.
One was the scientist who was killed in the car crash. The other was the kid, Beiderman. The guy who was killed labeled the footage of the comet as "Wolf-Biederman" so when the one guy was killed, the authorities thought there were two scientists who discovered the comet. They thought both scientists were in the vehicle when it crashed. One car crash, when the car hit an oncoming truck. The movie made a point of showing us that when the scientist's car crashed, it exploded and burned up so much that people wouldn't have been able to tell there weren't two people in the car. This is why they thought the kid, the other person who discovered the comet, was dead. They thought the kid, Biederman, was a second scientist who died with the first because his name was on the disk. The kid explained this in that gymnasium scene.
About the nukes, I believe there were 7 or 8, and the plan was to use four at first or something (maybe in case it didn't work and they have to do it a second time?), only things went wrong and they didn't have time to plant more than one nuke before the heat of the sun and the accident with two of the astronauts forced them to abandon the attempt to plant more. They only used one at first because they didn't have a choice.
Again, if I've gotten this all screwed up in my head, or if I misunderstood what you were getting at, my apologies.

Holy shit, how have I never seen this? I guess I've never really been into disaster movies because they always seemed so ridiculous. Movies like 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow, I'll admit are really entertaining, but totally implausible. This one was actually really good though, terrifyingly possible, but also full of very human moments. Good job patrons and Popcorns, this was a great movie pick, definitely going to rewatch too 👍

It's not on the same level as Armageddon for me (I adore that film) but I've always really enjoyed this movie. Looking forward to watching this tonight after work!

Helen Hunt, lol; for years it was said that Leelee Sobieski looked similar to her; Leelee doesn’t do movies anymore though

now that I'm done rewatching, it strikes me that this is a better movie than Armageddon from the same year, and on a funny note, I was 26 when I saw this in theaters, but now at 51 that lottery age sounds shitty lololol

yea she's a drag, for sure. Even in Bad Boys. Just didnt like her. And I cant believe David Duchovny was married to her for a while. I just could never understand lol

So you want a comet to hit earth so we can realize our families are important, then you want almost 8 billion people to die. Okay, rational.

Family and just being able to survive. Not social issues

I can't stand Tea Leoni, and haven't watched this movie in years but for some reason, I've got it on 4k disc so I guess it's time for a rewatch.

It was so weird to see how the movie industry did things in the late 90s. So often there very similar movies released within about two months apart. In '97 it was Dante's Peak and Volcano, '98 was Deep Impact and Armageddon, '99 was Deep Blue Sea and Lake Placid. Saw all six in theaters

Please tell me I'm not the only one who wishes a comet would actually hit earth. That's what it's gonna friggin take for humanity to realize what's actually important.

Hitting play now, and happy to have this to watch with you. Is there a reason that your reaction video is only at 360 and not HD? Not a big deal, but you're both a little fuzzier than usual.
Eric J Watkins

I have always loved Deep Impact. It was always more emotional than I expected from the special effects laden popcorn extravaganza I thought it would be. Don’t we all wish Morgan Freeman, with his quiet calm, were our President?
