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.
A young man who's part of his school's astronomy club sees something in the sky that is not known. So they take a picture of it and send it to their adviser who, upon seeing it, jumps into his car and crashes. A year later a reporter who's investigating why a member of the President's cabinet resigns when she goes to speak to him he says he wants to be with his family. Later she's brought before the President who asks her to keep what she knows under wraps for now. She convinces him to call a Press Conference so that he can tell everyone what's going on. Later at a Press Conference, the President announces that a year ago that two astronomers discovered something; a comet. And eventually that it's course will take it to earth but the problem is that the comet is so big that if it strikes it will cause what is known as an Extinction Level Event which will wipe out all life on the planet. And he announces that for sometime the government along with a few others have been building a vessel that will sent to intercept the comet. The reporter then asks the President if the reason why his Cabinet member resigned is because he doesn't believe the plan will work. The President assures them that they have thought it out carefully. In the meantime the young man who found the comet is being hailed as a hero. And the crew who's going to stop the comet makes their farewells to their families.
Though it had tremendous potential, the resulting film still fell short of some of my expectations. The script should've took a somewhat different approach. And there still should've been more action. Why would a film director tell her audience that the Americans and Russians are launching all of their ICBMs and then not show any of it? Anti-climatic? Perhaps, but I don't think any of us would've mind.
Also, the sub-plots concerning the kid and the journalist should've either been dropped or used differently. I was hoping for some controversy over the Ark. Some intrigue involving the government and billionaire investors deciding who does and does not go in. As well as giving us a close up look at what it might have been like for the lucky few survivors living underground with the most brilliant and talented people in the world.
Yes, the story is a bit short on scientific accuracy, but, come on, it's a movie, not a science documentary. Suspend disbelief for a bit and go along for the ride. It was a bit of a twist to actually show a fragment of the comet hit the Earh's surface, and the resulting devastation. The other mega-disaster film out that year, Armageddon, avoided this unpleasant outcome. So here is a bit of realism. The idea of a nuclear explosion fragmenting the comet nucleus into two pieces rather than pulverizing it is also a nod to scientific accuracy, as some theories about comet composition predict this effect. But, two films out in the same year with a similar premise had me on comet-asteroid overload.
The cast is fairly strong. Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall add their measure of gravitas to an otherwise unknown cast. Tea Leoni is not very good in this film, delivering her lines with a somewhat wooden and dry cadence. Also, the estranged child syndrome is in full force with Tea trying to reconcile her feelings for her remarried father (Schnell) and her still-living mother (Redgrave). I'll admit to having a bit of a crush on Mary McCormick, so I liked her in the role of a crew member of the doomed space mission. Still, I had the feeling hers was a bit of a token appearance, the addition of a female crew member in a nod to "diversity" and political correctness.
The notion of the new-age Ark preserving a select few in the deep caves of mid-America reminded me of the scheme Dr. Stangelove hatched at the end of the movie of the same name. Here the world-ending event is natural rather than man-made, but the idea is the same. It is an arresting and sobering thought. On the one hand, we want humanity to survive, but what is to become of those left behind? How to they deal with their fate? An interesting dilemma that might make a decent movie in itself.
Anyway, Deep Impact is a good film. Not great, mind you, but good enough for a viewing by those curious about such a storyline.
You can enjoy the way they create little flashes of wit in the dialogue, which enlivens what is, after all, a formula disaster movie.
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.
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:
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.
Effects are as follows:
The comet'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.)
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.
Tsunamis would undoubtedly occur, but they would not be your most immediate worry!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Certainly there wouldn'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.)
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.
All in all, it's really quite a good thing that big objects like this don't fall on our planet very often! a5c7b9f00b
