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.

Donald Sutherland, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rebecca De Mornay, Jason Gedrick and J.T. Walsh co-star in the film.
