Reviews for Deep Impact
Disaster movies are trim and exciting or they're nothing, and Deep Impact isn't trim or exciting.
The joy of any catastrophe flick is watching the world that annoys you so much get its due.
Unlike Armageddon, this film possesses a plot. Granted, it is the insipid plot of a made-for-TV miniseries, but at least it is an actual, tangible plot.
