Great Blu-ray transfer! Still holds up! by Mad Collector (Las Vegas, NV)  4 Stars
October 08, 2009
Although this movie is now over 10 years old, it still is as captivating as ever. Deep Impact premiered in theatres along the same time as Armageddon with a similar premise. This film, however, has more heart and feels less like a summer blockbuster. Add to that Morgan Freeman portraying the President, and you have a total package! The transfer looks perfect and the acting is superb. Only a few onscreen moments date this film: specifically the technology the characters use. Check it out to see Elijah in his pre-The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Theatrical Editions) [Blu-ray] career!

Best movie of this type - hands down by James W. Sharrock (Blairsville, GA USA)  5 Stars
October 07, 2009
This movie is definitely character driven. You can become any of the characters and identify with them. It is great. It is a movie of great sacrifice and emotions.
The Sci-Fi part of the film is very well done and for the most part realistic. I am a science teacher and they did leave out a few problems but they are easily overlooked.
I rarely watch a movie repeatedly; but this one I do. What else can I say? I am tired of blood and gore in Sci-Fi and this is a very welcomed relief!!!

Region?? by Ulf Claesson (Sweden)  3 Stars
October 02, 2009
What region is this disc? Region 1 or All Region? It is unacceptable that Amazon so often fail to write what Region the discs are in, as the All Region titles are for sale across the world (why otherwise have All Region discs in the first place? I do have 2001, Shining and Blade Runner the 5 disc set, as they are All Region, and I live in Europe.
So please, anyone, which region is Deep Impact? And Contact, for that matter-

Extremely entertaining and thought provoking by Herminio A. Salgado (Puerto Rico) 4 Stars
September 18, 2009
David Chute, that guy at the top who really put this film down, as an editor, needs to really reassess his role as a critic. I can see he probably thought Armageddon was a piece of art? Well, Armageddon is one of the worst I have ever seen. I even left the theater...
But Deep Impact, whew! Now that was an emotional ride. Granted, the thing between the kids didn't do much for me, but the overall situation where the impending doom forced the government to choose 1 million people and no one over 50 would be included... That in itself was a lot. The desperation of surviving an event that could very well happen for real knowing there is nothing we can actually do; not even having a ship as portrayed in the movie, is really alarming.
The film was well made. Yes, Hollywood was all over it, but it was a disaster movie unlike any I have seen. And I have seen many. Oh, and a Black president! who knew? This trend was then followed by the series 24, and then by our real lives. But enough of that.
Deep Impact was a pleasant surprise that summer, one that surpassed even this year's summer movies (with the exception of Star Trek).
See it. You won't be disappointed.

Deep Impact (Blu-Ray) by Victor A. Noh (USA) 5 Stars
September 16, 2009
I have recently purchased the Blu-Ray version of Deep Impact and i just have to say that the transfer to Blu-Ray is very very good. Great! The picture is crystal clear and the special effects are even better. I had the dvd and decided to purchase it on Blu-Ray because its one of my favorite movies of all time. If you have not bought this movie on Blu-Ray or have thoughts about it regardless its quality, BUY IT! you will not regret it! This is what you call a Great transfer to Blu-Ray.
