It might read as a little harsh, but the biggest and most glaring problem with Mimi Leder’s Deep Impact is simply the fact that it isn’t Michael Bay’s Armageddon.
Twin films are hardly a rare phenomenon, but having a pair of big budget blockbusters revolving around planet-destroying asteroids hitting theaters within weeks of each other was certainly one of the more specific examples. Both sci-fi flights of fancy did big business at the box office and drew equally tepid reviews, but there was really only one winner in terms of commercial success, audience enthusiasm, and cultural impact, which wasn’t Deep Impact.
