Armageddon is dumb but entertaining.
Deep Impact is supposed to be the better one, but I honestly remember Armageddon more, including the song and the cheesy scenes.
These movies are nothing alike. Armageddon is a dumb, fun action movie while Deep Impact is a character drama.
Deep Impact is a much stronger script, but Hollywood originally advertised it as an "apocalypse" movie like Armageddon, and most audiences have had trouble looking past that ever since.
Deep Impact. A bit more grounded than Armageddon.
My only real gripe with Deep Impact is the pizza eating observatory dude crash death at the start. Like, why would he be in such a rush to drive this info anywhere? Of all the implausible things in the film, I find this character's behaviour the most implausible.
Deep impact was the better film, it lent itself much better to Porn parody.
Porn titles: "Arm-a-get-it-on" and "Deep Impact"
I liked the realism of Deep Impact. Armageddon was way way too cheesy. There is no way they’d send drillers up rather than teaching astronauts but they wanted their “common man you can relate to, saves the day” trope.
Armageddon.
Deep Impact was good.
But if we're talking pure enjoyment... We'll I've rewatched Armageddon 5 times. I've seen deep impact once.
Armageddon is big stupid fun.
I enjoyed Michael Bay movies (before he went CGI everything) I think Armageddon was his taste of that nightmare and it fired him up.
"You mean I can do ANYTHING?!...fuck it, I'm making twelve robots smash into buildings during a fight scene!"
Before that, movies like Bad Boys, The Rock, etc... were hella-fun and I'll defend them forever.
Post Armageddon Michael Bay however; Mr. "Look at what I can do with unlimited computer power" is mostly a dud for me with the exception of The Island (which I think I'm one of the only people who actually enjoyed it)
Does the winner of this one face off against the winner of Leviathan vs Deep-Star Six?
I really really miss the underwater horror genre: Sphere, Leviathan, DS6, The Abyss, etc... Someone needs to bring back "The Thing...but underwater..." elevator pitch.
I don't think The Abyss quite fits with the others because it's not really horror in the same sense, but for a recent version, there's 2020's Underwater
I always think of The Abyss as the "high concept" version with a bigger budget. But its bones are built on the same foundation of schlocky goodness.
