Disaster movies are trim and exciting or they're nothing, and Deep Impact isn't trim or exciting.

Malignant and insensate, it's already too far gone for treatment.

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.

a crockful of hard-to-swallow melodrama... It would have been much more fun to drop in on the folks who elected to party like it's never gonna be 1999.
