Both were made about the same time and have a similar plot. Which is your favorite movie?

Armageddon is better. The cast rules; although, the storyline is silly.

I haven't seen Deep Impact since it came out, but I love Armageddon. From what I remember, Deep Impact was a good disaster movie, but Armageddon is just an awesome movie. I love all of Michael Bay's movies. Some of them have a lot of cheese, but he's one of the masters of Action and his movies are so much fun.

For me its Armageddon. I love the storyline and the acting of Bruce Willis and Ben Afleck. One Bruces best movies in my book. I like Deep Impact though to but if I had a choice between the 2 it would be Armageddon.

Armageddon, OBVIOUSLY!!! Where else will you find Michael Clarke Duncan, Ben Affleck and Steve Buscemi singing Leavin' On A Jet Plane in (kinda) harmony? It's an awesomely bad CLASSIC moment!

Same here!

Yes it has a cheesy cry you eyes out ending, but I like it. It would be a Day One buy for me.

ARMAGEDDON!

Better scenes & sounds(especially The Criterion Collection version), very fun to watch movie!
Deep Impact was good, but too somber & serious.

Deep Impact. Armageddon made no sense. Lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing, with lots of the Kiss of Death: Rockets, roaring through vacuum.

Deep Impact had actual human suffering as the topic; lots of pathos, which I generally don't like, but it was handled as part of the story of planetary danger. A much more mature film.

Definitely Armageddon. It's manly, yes, but I like it too.

Cool story/subject matter
Amazing cast
Great special FX
Good soundtrack
(it's Michael Bay, what more do you want?)

I can't wait for it to come out on BD later this year. (Fingers crossed for DTS Master Audio. It's a Disney/Touchtone release so we have a good shot at getting it!).

This is sort of like asking, "Which tastes better: dog poop or cat poop?" They were both pretty horrendous. If I was forced to pick which one to watch, it would probably be Deep Impact.

I realize that Armageddon was one this films where you're supposed to leave your brain at the door, but d*mn, it makes a Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote cartoon seem realistic in comparison. Couple that with the obnoxious Russian character and Steve Buscemi's "space dementia" nonsense, and it's pretty unwatchable without a large quantity of liquor or some sort of brain damage.

Deep Impact seemed like a big budget TV movie of the week but at least it didn't go to such ridiculous extremes. And there's always Morgan Freeman who classes up any movie he's in.

I think I just busted a rib.

Armageddon by a mile for me.

Are you kidding me?! Ben AND Bruce?!

Marquoz · 01-25-2009, 09:09 AM

How can anybody even compare Deep Impact and Armageddon? One has an asteroid that hits the Earth, and the other has sheer awesomeness

quexos · 01-25-2009, 10:16 AM

Deep impact is more realistic, Armageddon is more spectacular.
I'll go with deep impact.

Blu-ray Neo · 01-25-2009, 10:40 AM
