a5c7b9f00b Journalist Jenny Lerner is assigned to look into the background of Secretary Alan Rittenhouse who abruptly resigned from government citing his wife's ill health. She learns from his secretary that Rittenhouse was having an affair with someone named Ellie but when she confronts him, his strange reaction leads her to reconsider her story. In fact, a comet, discovered the previous year by high school student Leo Biederman and astronomer Dr. Marcus Wolf, is on a collision course with the Earth, an Extinction Level Event. A joint US-Russian team is sent to destroy the comet but should it fail, special measures are to be put in place to secure the future of mankind. As the space mission progresses, many individuals deal with their fears and ponder their future.
A young man who's part of his school's astronomy club sees something in the sky that is not known. So they take a picture of it and send it to their adviser who, upon seeing it, jumps into his car and crashes. A year later a reporter who's investigating why a member of the President's cabinet resigns when she goes to speak to him he says he wants to be with his family. Later she's brought before the President who asks her to keep what she knows under wraps for now. She convinces him to call a Press Conference so that he can tell everyone what's going on. Later at a Press Conference, the President announces that a year ago that two astronomers discovered something; a comet. And eventually that it's course will take it to earth but the problem is that the comet is so big that if it strikes it will cause what is knownan Extinction Level Event which will wipe out all life on the planet. And he announces that for sometime the government along with a few others have been building a vessel that will sent to intercept the comet. The reporter then asks the President if the reason why his Cabinet member resigned is because he doesn't believe the plan will work. The President assures them that they have thought it out carefully. In the meantime the young man who found the comet is being haileda hero. And the crew who's going to stop the comet makes their farewells to their families.
I've never been a huge fan of disaster films because like the horror genre it's been done to death to the point where you've seen one, you've seen all of them.<br/><br/>This movie is no "Dante's Peak." Nor is it "Volcano," "Earthquake" or "The Towering Inferno." <br/><br/>It came out the same yearthe dumb, but fun "Armageddeon" and , yes, coming from me it's the superior of the two, but it's overall pointless to say which one is better seeming how many people here seem to enjoy both extremely equally.<br/><br/>Anyway, it's full of fascinating science thrills, intense outer-space shuttle trips, political debate which is headed supposedly by the first Black president ( Morgan Freeman ) and is heart warming and heartbreaking all at the same time!<br/><br/>ANyway, the rest of the cast become part of the drama and not one feels out of place ( not even a young Elijah Wood! ), it's executive-produced by Steven Spielberg ( a wise funder ) and was Mimi Ledar's second feature-length film with the first being her other under-rated action film, "The Peacemaker." She should really get bigger projects because she has good intentions. <br/><br/>Anyway, if you want Science Fiction that feels real, involves good questions about the universe or doesn't feel too out-dated, then hop on-board this winner!
Disaster movies aren't usually remembered for the human emotion that's in it, they're remembered for the special effects. Here, the two are brought together in a unique and memorable way. James Horner did an excellent job writing a beautiful score. The special effects are dazzling and the storyline held my interest until the very end. The performances also make up the core of the movie. Tea Leoni works well here. She has some nice scenes with Maximilian Schell and Vanessa Redgrave. Leelee Sobieski and Elijah Wood are convincingthe two teenagers. Morgan Freeman makes a very good President. However, the film's best performance comes from the brilliant Vanessa Redgrave, who is quietly emotional in her scenes and also very sad. We, unfortunately, don't see heroftenwe should. Overall, a great movie that is one of the best in the sci-fi genre.
The latest in Hollywood's almost biblical procession of disaster films, Deep Impact tries with moderate success to be more than just the sum of its special effects.
Actually, the impact of a comet that big would be far worse than the film portrayed. The moving scene of the father and daughter facing their end together on the beach would not be possible. They would have died long before the tsunami arrived.<br/><br/>Using the Earth Impact Effects Program developed by Robert Marcus, H. Jay Melosh, and Gareth Collins and entering typical values for a comet this size, here are some reasonable results:<br/><br/>Inputs: Assuming you were 69 miles (about 100 km) from the impact of an icy comet 2.5 miles wide at typical angle (45 degrees) and velocity (51 km/sec) for comet and allowing for atmospheric slowing. Impact is in about 300 meters of water over typical rock.<br/><br/>Effects arefollows:<br/><br/>The comet's energy before atmospheric entry is about 1 million Megatons of TNT. That is the equivalent of one trillion tons of TNT explosive. (This is half a billion times more powerful than the largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated on Earth.)<br/><br/>When the comet hits the ocean, it creates a water crater 34.8 miles wide and an initial seafloor (rock) crater 20 miles in diameter and an incredible 7 miles deep. This complex crater would melt or vaporize 50.3 cubic miles of rock. About half of this rock mass would remain in the crater, while the rest would be ejected. The crater would finally stabilize at 31.6 miles in diameter and just less than 1 kilometer deep.<br/><br/>Tsunamis would undoubtedly occur, but they would not be your most immediate worry!<br/><br/>First there is heat. The impact creates a fireball 43.3 miles wide that looks 159 times larger than the sun. Only 1.39 seconds after impact, the thermal radiation reaches you. For the next 15 minutes, you would be subjected to heat hot enough that your clothing would ignite and much of your body would suffer third degree burns. Paper, grass, trees, and wood would all ignite.<br/><br/>Assuming you were shielded from the thermal radiation, you would next have to worry about seismic effects. About 20 seconds after the impact, you feel an earthquake of magnitude 9.2 on the Richter Scale. This powerful of a quake would damage almost all structures and collapse many, even substantial engineered structures. Most masonry and wood frame structures, suchhouses, would be destroyed. Serious damage would overtake dams, dikes, and embankments with water being thrown from the banks of canals, rivers, lakes, etc. Large landslides would also result.<br/><br/>Somehow surviving the seismic mayhem amid the burning heat, you find the ejecta arriving next. A little more than two minutes after impact, rock fragments of a punishing average diameter of 13.3 inches would rain down from the unfriendly sky, eventually burying your site in a layer almost 32 feet thick.<br/><br/>Next, about five minutes after the blast,you somehow toughed out the heat, the shaking, and the avalanche from the sky, an air blast from the impact would reach you. At 40.7 bars or 578 pounds per square inch, this blast would take the form of a mighty wind with a maximum velocity of 3,580 miles per hour. The sound would damage or destroy your hearing. Around you in the heat, the shaking, and the raining debris, the titanic blast would collapse almost any remaining buildings and bridges. Cars and trucks would be tossed and bent out of shape. Trees would be flattened.<br/><br/>Certainly there wouldn't be much left of your location by the time the first tsunami came. The Earth Impact Effects Program does not calculate tsunamis, but clearly water would rush into the huge crater and spring back outward against itselfit contended with the molten rock and vaporized water. This would create not just one but a series of enormous tsunamis–perhaps doing justice to the ones portrayed in the movie. (Think of the effects of the tsunamis in the Indian Ocean in 2004 or in Japan in 2011 multiplied many times over.)<br/><br/>Life on Earth would not be destroyed, nor would all people. But things would go very hard for human civilization for a while with massive loss of life, economic collapse, ecological devastation, and short-term climate coolingdust from the impact blocked sunlight around the globe. This cooling would add the additional specter of global faminegrowing cycles for food crops everywhere were disrupted.<br/><br/>All in all, it's really quite a good thing that big objects like this don't fall on our planet very often!
