     Despite the horrid reviews that Newsday gave Deep Impact, I went to see
     it

     last Sat. and thought it was very good. I really felt the depression of
     the

     ultimate end being near along with the charaters. As long as you
     remember

     that this film is not an action film, but about people, you should enjoy
     it as

     well. The special effects weren't shabby either.

         I really really like disaster movies.

         Therefore, I liked Deep Impact. I was even "scared" when the movie
         just started

         by the mere fact of knowing what was going o happen. The movie
         itself was

         fine, but I was a little disappointed with the actual impact.

         The mushroom cloud and the destruction of NYC were cool. However, I
         was

         disappointed in that that's all tehre was. Most of the movie took
         place in DC

         yet we don't see DC get destroyed. We also don't see various
         European cities

         get destroyed. Nor do we see what NYC looks like after the wave
         recedes. The

         Statue of Liberty head floating through the submerged street was
         funny, but

         still, there was a lack of coolness for the overall impact.

         Also, where was the religous fanatic with the sign saying "The end
         is near (I

         told you so)" :-)?
