Is "Deep Impact" Worth A Rewatch?

On the 9th episode, Anthony and Al discuss whether the movie "Deep Impact" from 1998 is worth rewatching or not!

"Life will go on, we will prevail." - President Beck

What do you remember about "Deep Impact"? Did you see it in the theaters back then? This disaster movie came out in the same year as "Armageddon" and had very similar plot points. Which did you like better? With stars like Morgan Freeman, Tea Leoni, Elijah Wood, and Robert Duvall, many say it had more heart and realism than the other asteroid movie. Do you agree?

So how does this movie hold up on its own? What did the critics say back then? With all the new movies and TV shows nowadays, should you put all that aside and watch this 90s disaster movie again?

All these questions answered and more on this episode of "Worth A Rewatch?"

Check out the trailer below as the first "rewatch"!

Here are some reviews and ratings...

Anthony's Pick:

"1.5 Stars out of 5!"

Please if there's excess cash in the coffers do something worthwhile instead of soaking up valuable time and resources on what really could have been shot on an android by stoners. Misses every mark possible. Really quite pathetic.

Al's Pick (4-Star Review of the Week!):

"The Worst movie i have seen"

And i have seen a lot's of sci-fi movies. Plenty of plot holes and anyone with healthy brain will see them. It was really awful to watch. There were parts of the movie i enjoyed but were quickly overrun by something bad. Also pacing in this movie is weird. Everything happens in the end of the movie. I recommend to not watch this movie at all
