Deep Impact?....

The Ringbearer · 06-28-2002, 02:44 AM

Has anyone seen this movie? I won't watch it if it ends sadly, but I can't watch it to find out! Does anyone know?

Rei · 06-29-2002, 09:04 PM

It has a sad ending and a happy ending...

a lot of people die but a lot of people live....you should see it though, it's very good!

The Ringbearer · 06-29-2002, 10:56 PM

Is it one of the 'comet/asteroid thing will hit the world unless this team of people sacrifices themselves etc.' ? I've never watched a movie with that dark of a theme( dark compared to my usual ).
How is it a good movie if a whole ton of people die?

(I understand how it could be a good movie if you enjoy making ones self all teary -eyed......maybe I should try it.....)

Rei · 06-29-2002, 11:03 PM

Yes it is about an asteroid/Comet hitting earth and it's kinda simaliar to Armageddon and people aren't sent to sacrifice themselves, it's the same blow up the asteroid before it hit's earth bit, but it's really very good.

It's happy even though a lot of people die because it shows the strength of human spirit and that no matter how hard it get's we will always keep foghting and surving. It made me teary eyed, but my brother didn't cry when we saw it so it dcould be a girl thing. You should definatley watch it though!

The Ringbearer · 06-29-2002, 11:18 PM

So it does end happily(so to speak

)?
I guess I'll try it.......

Thanks!

They don't kill off Elijah, do they?

Rei · 06-30-2002, 04:00 PM

Not a problem, I hope you enjoy it!

Now if I told you who lived and died it would ruin the movie, but since I always ruin the end of movies I'll say that you can rest assured that Elijah lives!

oh it's a great film! and so sad!

I think its way better than Armageddon though (and thats NOT just because of Elijah...)
The actors are all brilliant, the script's great and it really makes you sit up and think about what you would do if you were told the world was going to end tomorrow. I wonder what i would do.....

samwise of the shire · 07-01-2002, 06:14 PM

It's too bad they have that Reporter chic in there. It's um rather destracting. I personally like the way the presedint associates with faith and noahs ark and stuff and that Leo(Lijahs character)doesn't die and that he lands up happily. But other then that it was one of those movies that doesn't like thrill me or move me. It was ok. Good Elijah Wood movie to watch once.

Rána Eressëa · 07-06-2002, 09:09 AM

I've seen it a couple of times. It's actually pretty good. The scene that gets me every time is when Elijah's character gets on the bus and Leelee's character has to stay behind. It's just really sad. *sniffs*

The Ringbearer · 07-07-2002, 01:42 AM

I'm watching it today, so hopefully I can get into this conversation a little more later.

Rei · 07-07-2002, 06:33 PM

I totally agree with you Rana Eressea, that scene makes me cry every time!

The Ringbearer · 07-09-2002, 12:48 AM

Whoa.

I just watched it night before last, and I was more emotionally moved by that movie than any other, except LotR. I ALMOST got myself to tears when Sarah stays and Leo leaves on the bus. I was tense through the entire movie(just me. I was like that through LotR too). A good movie, but not if it is 11:30pm when it ends( I was VERY tired) , and you are replaying all the most disturbing scenes in your head.

The most moving parts for me were when Sarah stays behind, when her parents force her to take her baby brother and leave them, and when everyone is saying all their last goodbyes at the end.
I'm not used to stuff like this.......

I just get 3/4 into whatever movie I'm watching(cartoons don't count

).

Life goes on.........* breaks into maniacal laughter*

cassiopeia · 07-12-2002, 01:26 AM

I saw it again a few nights ago. It was OK, better than Armageddon. Elijah looks like his about 14. But I don't understand why Sarah would stay with her parents, instead of getting on the bus. I mean death and parents or life and Elijah? Tough choice

And then when Lij goes back to rescue Sarah. Why didn't his father just tie him up and make him stay in safety? I guess I'm not much of a romantic.

The Ringbearer · 07-13-2002, 04:06 AM

Dad said that if I did that he would just grab me and drag me in there( or something close. It was ~ a week ago.)!

Sween · 07-26-2002, 01:04 PM

Do you know what the scary **** is. There is acctually an asreriod heading for earth so we are all pretty screwed

I wouldn't be too worried. It is still too soon to exactly calculate the asteroids trajectory. My astronomy lecturer didn't mention it, so no need to riot yet.

I don't think we have to worry about that. In the worst case senario we hire Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis to save the world!

Go Ben go!!!!

That's not what I heard, or read. What I read was that they searched for asteroids big enough to be like the dino-killer to see if there really was one. They found hardly one large enough and on a possibly trajectory. Still the chance of that happening is sooooo small you'll sooner get squashed by a giant anteater than hit by a big asteroid like the dino-killer. Of course they didn't put it that way.

Sorry for those who wanted to do some looting, you'll have to find another reason to do so.
