Review of Deep Impact (1998) by Trailesque — 20 Jan 2017
This is better than your average impending-destruction-of-planet-Earth SF extravaganza. It adds more elements of mainstream drama to the story. The lead is an icy, ambitious young female newscaster (a character that is popping up more and more in real life as well as cinema).
She (believably portrayed by Tea Leoni) struggles with family problems and stumbles across what looks like a political scandal, but turns out to be something much bigger. Freeman is a dignified presence as the president.
The tale of the brilliant teen and his girlfriend is cute but predictable. There are some cool apocalyptic effects towards the end - action fans will probably want to just skip ahead to those.
