A seven-mile-wide space rock is hurtling toward Earth, threatening to obliterate the planet. Now, it's up to the president of the United States to save the world.

60 of 259 · most liked firstYou know, the weird thing is that I love GODFATHER and plenty of other film classics as well as TV gems he did, but for some reason, the one Duvall performance I’m thinking of today is him reading Moby Dick to Ron Eldard in DEEP IMPACT. A simple, warm, sad, funny moment between two human beings.
positive · AI labelView post →I think a good trait in a romantic partner is when you ask them what their favorite movie is and it’s something completely off the wall like Deep Impact
neutral · AI labelView post →We’re watching Deep Impact because this movie is awesome.
positive · AI labelView post →If you want to experience something really jarring, watch an older movie that depicts a US president, like Air Force One, Deep Impact, The American President, or shit even Independence Day.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Deep Impact, undoubtedly the best asteroid-themed film of the year 1998.
positive · AI labelView post →Okay, come on now, i know parallel TV show/movie plots happen all the time (Armageddon/Deep Impact etc), but this episode of SILO literally *just* aired…
neutral · AI labelView post →So after watching Christmas movies all December, I am always ready for a change. Every year I designate January as “disaster movie month”. I have them running while I quilt. Yesterday it was Armageddon & Deep Impact. Today is San Andreas.
neutral · AI labelView post →I never saw the movie Deep Impact, but somehow the trailer alone scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I think I was about 7 years old. Even tho the film was about asteroids, I became terrified that I would experience a tsunami at the beach
neutral · AI labelView post →Today is also the 26th anniversary of Deep Impact. Sure, it lost the box office battle against Armageddon that year, but I have a soft spot for this film. The Messiah, model by Industrial Light & Magic:
positive · AI labelView post →Turtle-mania over at @letterboxd.social — I was delighted to detail the unlikely saga of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990), from its path through Golden Harvest to Jim Henson's state-of-the-art animatronics, a wild film shoot, and the guiding light of Steve Barron, for a Deep Impact feature.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Deep Impact and thinking “the meteor in that movie would solve a lot problems irl”.
negative · AI labelView post →The movie was Deep Impact.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie Idea: “Armageddon” meets “Deep Impact”
neutral · AI labelView post →As one of the world’s foremost Disaster Movie Experts* I am telling you it’s perfectly fine to have a preference but never let anyone make you choose Also, if you like Deep Impact, you’ll love Norwegian disaster cinema *not facetious, I am a filmbro but only for, specifically, disaster movies
neutral · AI labelView post →OK but Deep Impact is the better movie
positive · AI labelView post →No film journalist will ever be as bad at their job as Téa Leoni in Deep Impact, who trades the scoop of all time to ask a question in a press conference and then asks a really stupid question, but Lois Lane's questions in this shuttle launch are a close-run second.
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Impact (1998). I remember the competition between this & Armageddon (1998). Which was the better asteroid film? I always liked Armageddon better. This one is too cheesy for me but it does have Freeman & Duvall. Armageddon is sillier but way way more fun. #filmsky
negative · AI labelView post →Alright, finished Twisters, and it was super fun. Anyone have any fun disaster film recs? I loved Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow, Twister, and Twisters. Wasn't too keen on Armageddon. But that gives you an idea of how long it's been since I've seen a good disaster movie. 😂
positive · AI labelView post →I know the science advisor for the movie Deep Impact. They asked him what would happen if an asteroid hit the Earth (he got them to make it a reasonable size). He wrote some numbers on a napkin and then watched Morgan Freeman basically read that napkin.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now that was A Movie!! This does not quite displace Sinners / Eddington as my very top movies of the year, but it comes close. Which is funny because: real Armageddon/Deep Impact thing going on with this and Eddington.
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Impact is the better film. I will die on this hill.
positive · AI labelView post →#FebruaryMovieChallenge #Moviesky #Filmsky Day 8. Meteor or asteroid in a film. Deep Impact (1998)
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy birthday Tea Leoni, you have made a Deep Impact on the movie world.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, I could not remember what those movies are called and almost said "Deep Impact" before remembering which one that actually is, and had to look up "Del Toro kaiju movie"
neutral · AI labelView post →What's one line from a movie that changed your life? For context, my sister and I laughing SO HARD at this line from DEEP IMPACT and reference it to this day 😅 #Scriptsky #Filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →“The Borrowers: Deep Impact”, Arrietty is wiped out by a falling coin while trying to hang a postage stamp on the wall. The movie was not a success. #GirlsOwnCc
neutral · AI labelView post →Ohhhhhh no no. Deep Impact by far and away the better asteroid gonna hit the Earth movie. Please tell me you accept this as innocent childhood indiscretion
positive · AI labelView post →In 1998, two films (Deep Impact and Armageddon) significantly shifted public awareness about the threats of asteroid impacts. When Apophis sails *safely* past the Earth in 2029, I think this will trigger a new wave of awareness and pop-culture impact. Hopefully more funding for NEO programs too!
neutral · AI labelView post →#JulyMovieChallenge 7/4. The Statue of Liberty in a movie. Deep Impact (1998) youtu.be/VNtsVP42bOE?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Impact is a legit excellent film. It’s a dozen of the best actors in Hollywood giving sincere, heartfelt performances because nobody warned them they’d be competing against Steve Buscemi dry humping a nuke in space.
positive · AI labelView post →Make a movie better by adding "in the ass" to it Deep Impact in the Ass
neutral · AI labelView post →Decided to put on a random crappy sci-fi film last night. Chose 'Deep Impact'. Always partial to a disaster movie. Certainly meets the "crappy" definition.
negative · AI labelView post →As the internet’s number two GREENLAND fan I am bummed that 2 isn’t up to the standards of the original, which was the closest the US has come to a Norwegian-style disaster movie since Deep Impact
neutral · AI labelView post →I was asked today if I could be any hero from a movie, who would I be? I said I would be the asteroid from Deep Impact.
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Impact is the superior movie though
positive · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Deep Impact on @letterboxd: boxd.it/9F6Vrr #265moviereview #filmsky 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →Can't believe I overlooked The Magic Finger! There are also MANY film titles that sound rude (but aren't) - Deep Impact, Fire Down Below, Big, The Harder They Come etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →5. Deep Impact: because of I’m a TNT kid, I know every frame of this film (I’m also a sucker for a disaster flick).
positive · AI labelView post →It was in every way the "Deep Impact" to "Braveheart"'s "Armageddon," but is really just as good of a movie - arguably better since it doesn't have Mel Gibson going full torture-execution martyr at the end.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm watching Deep Impact. I'd forgotten about this movie altogether but it's good
positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched Netflix's Don't Look Up and I feel reality has actually surpassed the satirical tone of the movie, which critics said was too "exaggerated" at the time. Or perhaps what they resented was that the movie didn't provide a 'feel good' aftermath like Armageddon or Deep Impact.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is just a reminder that Deep Impact is a far superior movie than Armageddon.
positive · AI labelView post →Well that's a goddamn bummer. What a film legend, and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the countless roles he forever gave cinema. Some random favorites: Falling Down Apocalypse Now Phenomenon Thank You For Smoking The Godfather trilogy Deep Impact Days Of Thunder etc... Just, damn.
neutral · AI labelView post →2. Don’t use an impactor on a comet (Deep Impact). It’s made of ice and will break up as in the film and cause lots of problems. 3. Don’t train oil drillers to be astronauts (Armageddon). Train astronauts to drill. /ENDS.
neutral · AI labelView post →Add "between my legs" to a movie title Deep Impact Between My Legs
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Impact (1998) I'll never forgive this boring, terribly written and paced movie for making me wish Maximilian Schell was my dad 0/5
negative · AI labelView post →Deep Impact was the better film, while Armageddon was the better popcorn action flick.

positive · AI labelView post →I need a new fun natural disaster film. My top ones are: Volcano, Dante’s Peak, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012, Twister, San Andreas and Deep Impact
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not sure if these two are better, or just shifted to an entirely different sort of movie: Deep Impact In The Ass Armageddon In the Ass
neutral · AI labelView post →Add “between my legs” to a movie title "Deep Impact Between my legs"
neutral · AI labelView post →Deep Impact. The original trailer was about the lottery and then the comet hitting. It was a very different movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oy. That looks like a scene out of the movie "Deep Impact."
