Deep Impact (Special Collector's Edition)

this is a all time favorite. i just love morgan freeman in anything that he does. but there are a lot of good actors in this and it to me is more realistic for if this were to happen in real life

This is a nice film from really good special f/x, the acting great,a good addition to your collection.....Enjoy.

This was the 'closes to the real thing' story I've ever seen.It was very spooky in that respect. And the special effects will blow you away.I would recommend it to everyone in every age group. The acting is supurb and as i said I'm sure under the same circumstances the world may just react in the same manner. The human interest stories during the catastrophe were very believeable and all the actors did a really great job!!! Kudos to Hollywood on this one... Bern in Florida

Tea Leoni played a convincing character in this movie. Morgan Freeman was nothing short of outstanding as President in this film. Great story that makes you think! Five stars!

The governments of the world find out about an asteroid on a cataclysmic path with our planet. Our government decides We the People are too stupid and brutish to be trusted to act responsibly with that knowledge, and they use billions of our tax dollars to build a massive shelter for favored citizens, all with great secrecy, with a few remaining slots to be rationed out to the taxpayers via lottery.

The catastrophe wasn't as bad as anticipated, and had the U.S. government not decided to use our tax dollars as their personal piggy bank to provide an "ark" for politicians and their families and friends, individual citizens could have built shelters or made other provisions that might likely have let them survive the disastrous strike that sent a massive tidal wave surging halfway across the country.

The real disaster was that millions of U.S. citizens died, but all the politicians were saved. Yeah, that's what I want when it's time to rebuild civilization: the privileged political class ready to resume Big Government As Usual. Ugh!

Of course, the movie was fiction. The bunkers our government has built for themselves and not us, those are real. While I pray such survivalist measures are never necessary, it does give one a moment of pause to realize that we've financed the safety of a pampered ruling class, while they're telling us to stock up on duct tape and a month's worth of canned goods in case of emergency.
