Deep Impact is a film that has gotten better with age. Since its release 25 years ago this year, we’ve seen a slew of movies concerned with world-ending events, like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Moonfall, Knowing, and the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, and that’s not counting all the plague, zombie, and monster movies out there. As we look back over these recent years, what stands out is how Deep Impact is a more mature, but not always successful dramatic approach to the subject matter. Directed with a sure hand, strong screenplay, performances that range from reasonable to wonderful, and a brilliant score by the late James Horner, come together to deliver something a little different from the end of the world subgenre. If it’s been a while since you saw it, now’s a good time to rediscover how good Deep Impact can be, now with a fine 4K release.
