On the new Netflix: 27 years ago, this somewhat forgotten science fiction film was opposed to Armageddon

A few weeks after the merger – and its scientific inconsistencies with the shovel – Netflix adds another science fiction film to its boxes that depict it from its boxes – deep impact – which is a synopsis here:

Fourteen Leo Biderman enrolled in his high school astronomical club. He takes photos of the starry sky through his telescope and finds a comet heading to the earth. According to the President of the United States, he called on a former astronaut, Spurgeon Tanner, who is responsible for the international mission on the experimental ship. They have to let them down a comet and try to look at it from its trajectory using nuclear loads. On Earth, the closest cataclysicism causes the most extreme reactions.

War in space … and in theaters

If this feature film can say nothing, it is because it was darkened by another blockbuster during its release: Armageddon. Because in 1998 the war between studios increased.

A year before, Paramount claims his desire to create a disaster film in which the asteroid threatens the planet. At the same time, Touchstone Pictures have expressed a similar project. The two companies are making a real race to first release their film. It seems that Paramount has won the battle since May 8, 1998, to extinguish deep impact on American screens.

More human film

The figures were talking: Armageddon created a real wave wave in the box office, which made almost $ 500 million. In France, 4.6 million curious little ones went to dark rooms, with 1.2 million for deep impact. Today, we remember Michael Bey’s spectacular film than Morgan Freeman as the President of the United States who tries to save the earth.

It is shameful because these two science fiction films are not. Deep impacts have more people’s approach, where Armageddon is a pure entertainment that does not have special effects. We are less interested in asteroids than the influence that the latter can in the population: and this is said in terms of characters encamped by Elijah Wood, Tera Leon or Robert Duval.

The deep impact you should see on Netflix.
