Action & Adventure > Freeman, Morgan Action & Adventure

A thoughtful look at the end of the world

Advantages: Concentrates more on plot then special effects
Disadvantages: A little meandering at times

...if a little silly Armageddon. Deep Impact, although a disaster movie, is different to these two films by concentrating more on the relationships between different characters then on the disaster itself. Directed by Mimi Leder, what I liked best about Deep Impact is the way it engages with its key characters so that we actually care about what happens to them, in comparison to something like The Day After Tomorrow where the characterisation is pretty ...
...disaster films such as Armageddon, Deep Impact is for me a better film because it takes a thoughtful look at the possibility of mass extinction rather then rushing straight in with special effects.

Review of Deep Impact (Special Edition) (DVD)

Jack Ryan vs Harrison Ford

Advantages: All Jack Ryan stories are together and in order
Disadvantages: Jack Ryan played by different actors

...Soviet nuclear sub heading for the US. The Government think he is going to attack but Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) thinks he wants to defect. Jack has a couple of hours to prove his theory before the US Government find the 'Red October' and blow it up. Sean Connery is brilliant as usual but I found The Hunt for Red October very slow to start with, although it got exciting towards the end. *Patriot Games* Patriot Games had me hooked from start to finish. ...
...then a race to stop the terrorist whose brother he killed from killing his family. Non-stop action and suspense. *Clear and Present Danger* Clear and Present Danger had me hooked from start to finish (although slightly complicated storyline). Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) is appointed acting CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence aqnd heads off to Colombia to investigate the murder of one of the President's friends. This film is full of action and cover ...

Deadly impact

Advantages: Special effects
Disadvantages: none

...an asteroid heading towards Earth. Deep Impact was one of these movies. Deep Impact is about a comet that is on a collision course with Earth and will result in mass destruction and extinction of the human race.

...safer pieces. As a back-up plan, he also randomly selects 1 million people who will relocate to specially designed caves in order to save the population from extinction. This is a decent film and has some good characters, including Elijah Wood, who plays the teenage astronomer who discovers the deadly comet and Robert Duvall who leads the astronauts on their all important mission. I’m not quite sure Tea Leoni is a good lead for a big film and it ...
