Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA line was edited in the President's press conference scene. President Beck stated "Life will go on, we will prevail." Originally, President Beck said "Life will go on, we will prevail. This is not Armageddon." The producers later realized that the movie was going to be in box-office competition with the movie Armageddon (1998).
- GoofsThe comet is depicted as nearly white when in reality comets are among the darkest objects in the Solar System, normally reflecting about 3% of the light that hits them (in comparison, Earth reflects about 39%). The movie producers were aware of this fact, but special effects technology of the time made it extremely difficult to depict a black object against black space.

Alan Rittenhouse: I know you're just a reporter, but you used to be a person, right?
- Crazy creditsThe opening DreamWorks logo ends with the clouds in the logo fading away to show the stars in space in the background, and the title words DEEP IMPACT are filled with a view of the Earth.

Featured review
Discouraged by the bad rep this movie has, especially in relation to its so-called competitor Armageddon, I was lured into watching from a short TikTok clip I had of the presidents initial address to the nation.
While you can only rate movies in whole numbers, it is movies like this that make that frustrating. For me, giving this movie a 9/10 in an understatement. Never have I been moved by a film enough to write a review on IMDb. Without spoiling the narrative, this film may have literally altered my brain chemistry. The value of your loved ones and the value of having purpose in our world is so clearly examined by this piece through the wide array of character relationships.
This movie has moved me to be the best I can, and make an impact in this world that is worth saving.
