a5c7b9f00b Journalist Jenny Lerner is assigned to look into the background of Secretary Alan Rittenhouse who abruptly resigned from government citing his wife's ill health. She learns from his secretary that Rittenhouse was having an affair with someone named Ellie but when she confronts him, his strange reaction leads her to reconsider her story. In fact, a comet, discovered the previous year by high school student Leo Biederman and astronomer Dr. Marcus Wolf, is on a collision course with the Earth, an Extinction Level Event. A joint US-Russian team is sent to destroy the comet but should it fail, special measures are to be put in place to secure the future of mankind. As the space mission progresses, many individuals deal with their fears and ponder their future.
As a comet is on a collision course with earth, humans have to prepare for their survival. They randomly select eight hundred thousand people to be saved in order to keep the human race alive.
When Deep Impact was released in the cinemas, I neither made a special effort to see it nor deliberately avoided it. Just happened to end up not seeeing it. Watching it now on TV now, I find it quite enjoyable. Compared with an average movie in this genre, D.I. is quite ok.<br/><br/>What I enjoy most is the four stars, although there appearances are brief. It&#39;s a great pleasure to see Maximilian Schell. His performance in Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) is one of the most memorable experiences in the cinema for me. Vanessa Redgrave to me IS Guenevere and will always be (Camelot (1967)). Then came the &quot;younger&quot; guys (not in the age as the four of them are in pretty much the same age grou but in the time they become prominent - Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall.<br/><br/>One new star is Tea Leoni but she didn&#39;t start to shine until Hollywood Ended (2002) when she acted opposite to, and out-acted Woody Allen.<br/><br/>Can&#39;t resist making one comment about the movie D.I. If the traffic on busy highways in any American big city at rush hour traffic jams is as orderly as the the one on exodus to escape the killing tidal waves, we&#39;ll have world peace.
This movie is really excellent. It is very thrilling because an asteroid is flying directly to earth and humanity tries to stop the asteroid. You think that somehow humanity has to survive but then the small part of the asteroid causes many deaths,also of protagonists like Jenny Lerner and her father. I think very interesting is the way the Americans try to rescue themselves. There are caves where about 1 million people can survive. The rest has to die. Especially lower-class and old people are so not allowed to go into these caves. The music by James Horner is also very good, especially main theme and end credits. All in all Deep Impact is a very good Sci-Fi. movie and worth watching.
The latest in Hollywood's almost biblical procession of disaster films, Deep Impact tries with moderate success to be more than just the sum of its special effects.
Actually, the impact of a comet that big would be far worse than the film portrayed. The moving scene of the father and daughter facing their end together on the beach would not be possible. They would have died long before the tsunami arrived.<br/><br/>Using the Earth Impact Effects Program developed by Robert Marcus, H. Jay Melosh, and Gareth Collins and entering typical values for a comet this size, here are some reasonable results:<br/><br/>Inputs: Assuming you were 69 miles (about 100 km) from the impact of an icy comet 2.5 miles wide at typical angle (45 degrees) and velocity (51 km/sec) for comet and allowing for atmospheric slowing. Impact is in about 300 meters of water over typical rock.<br/><br/>Effects are as follows:<br/><br/>The comet&#39;s energy before atmospheric entry is about 1 million Megatons of TNT. That is the equivalent of one trillion tons of TNT explosive. (This is half a billion times more powerful than the largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated on Earth.)<br/><br/>When the comet hits the ocean, it creates a water crater 34.8 miles wide and an initial seafloor (rock) crater 20 miles in diameter and an incredible 7 miles deep. This complex crater would melt or vaporize 50.3 cubic miles of rock. About half of this rock mass would remain in the crater, while the rest would be ejected. The crater would finally stabilize at 31.6 miles in diameter and just less than 1 kilometer deep.<br/><br/>Tsunamis would undoubtedly occur, but they would not be your most immediate worry!<br/><br/>First there is heat. The impact creates a fireball 43.3 miles wide that looks 159 times larger than the sun. Only 1.39 seconds after impact, the thermal radiation reaches you. For the next 15 minutes, you would be subjected to heat hot enough that your clothing would ignite and much of your body would suffer third degree burns. Paper, grass, trees, and wood would all ignite.<br/><br/>Assuming you were shielded from the thermal radiation, you would next have to worry about seismic effects. About 20 seconds after the impact, you feel an earthquake of magnitude 9.2 on the Richter Scale. This powerful of a quake would damage almost all structures and collapse many, even substantial engineered structures. Most masonry and wood frame structures, such as houses, would be destroyed. Serious damage would overtake dams, dikes, and embankments with water being thrown from the banks of canals, rivers, lakes, etc. Large landslides would also result.<br/><br/>Somehow surviving the seismic mayhem amid the burning heat, you find the ejecta arriving next. A little more than two minutes after impact, rock fragments of a punishing average diameter of 13.3 inches would rain down from the unfriendly sky, eventually burying your site in a layer almost 32 feet thick.<br/><br/>Next, about five minutes after the blast, as you somehow toughed out the heat, the shaking, and the avalanche from the sky, an air blast from the impact would reach you. At 40.7 bars or 578 pounds per square inch, this blast would take the form of a mighty wind with a maximum velocity of 3,580 miles per hour. The sound would damage or destroy your hearing. Around you in the heat, the shaking, and the raining debris, the titanic blast would collapse almost any remaining buildings and bridges. Cars and trucks would be tossed and bent out of shape. Trees would be flattened.<br/><br/>Certainly there wouldn&#39;t be much left of your location by the time the first tsunami came. The Earth Impact Effects Program does not calculate tsunamis, but clearly water would rush into the huge crater and spring back outward against itself as it contended with the molten rock and vaporized water. This would create not just one but a series of enormous tsunamis–perhaps doing justice to the ones portrayed in the movie. (Think of the effects of the tsunamis in the Indian Ocean in 2004 or in Japan in 2011 multiplied many times over.)<br/><br/>Life on Earth would not be destroyed, nor would all people. But things would go very hard for human civilization for a while with massive loss of life, economic collapse, ecological devastation, and short-term climate cooling as dust from the impact blocked sunlight around the globe. This cooling would add the additional specter of global famine as growing cycles for food crops everywhere were disrupted.<br/><br/>All in all, it&#39;s really quite a good thing that big objects like this don&#39;t fall on our planet very often!
