"it happened before, it will happen again. It's just a question of when." That is one of the scariest lines ever, because it's so true. We don't know when an asteroid might come and hit us again.
Actually, NASA and many other space agencies track uncontrolled space debris and predict its projected path all the time and although objects have come close to earth: they aren't strong or solid enough to survive our atmosphere. The Asteroid from this movie: an object supposedly the size of the state of Texas that was dislodged from the asteroid belt after a comet collided with the belt would definitely be noticed. And it would take approximately 13 MONTHS to reach earth not 18 days.

I remember when this movie came out and i was simply expecting a end of the world special effects type of movie. But from this first opening theme i was fucking hooked. The MUSIC KILLED ME. 20 plus yeats later this is still my all time favorite movie and i dont give a fuck what anyone says. The ending is brilliant.
The real blast was actually MUCH bigger than explained here. It is now believed that the rock hit with the force of a 100 million megatonne blast. Which is 2 million times more powerful than the largest nuclear warhead ever made (50 Megatonne).
I actually cried at the end of this movie when Bruce Willis sacrificed himself to destroy the asteroid and save his daughter and friends and all those on Earth from an asteroid the size of Texas.
When I was a kid I watched this with my cousin, and he cried at the part when harry pushed the button and saw flashbacks of his daughter when she was a little girl.
I watched this movie for the first time in 2011, just befor we went to Disneyland Paris. I loved it and I also loved the Armageddon themed ride in the studio park.
This is the Earth at a time when the dinosaurs roamed a lush and fertile planet. A piece of rock, just six miles wide, changed all that. It hit with the force of ten thousand nuclear weapons. A trillion tons of dirt and rock hurdled into the atmosphere, creating a suffocating blanket of dust the sun was powerless to penetrate for a thousand years. It happened before. It will happen again. It's just a question of when.
The sun was powerless to penetrate for a thousand years hits pretty hard when a geography and astronomy person like myself really understand just how powerful the sun and it's factor in the everyday motion of the processes that affects weather , climate and such on our earth 🌍 😮
0:48 Narrator: this is the earth during the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago at a time when the non-avian dinosaurs roamed a lush and fertile planet...an asteroid just six miles Wilde changed all that. 1:12 Narrator: it slammed into the Yucatán Peninsula with the force of 10,000 Hiroshima bombs or nuclear warheads...a trillion tones of rock dust dirt and debris hurtled into the atmosphere creating a suffocating blanket of dust that the sun was powerless to penetrate for a millennia this was known as the KPG mass extinction event It killed off 75% of all living things on earth at the time including the non-avian dinosaurs...it happened before...it will happen again it’s just the question of when...
The scary thing is when he said "it happened before, it will happen again" is true, does anyone remember back in April asteroid 1998 OR2? That supposedly "missed" us by several thousand miles, that alone is a close shave, but it in actuality missed us by less than 100 miles. They also falsely reported it's true size, original reports were it was 150 to 200 meters long larger than a football field, and that alone is large enough to destroy a country or a large US state..... however it was over a mile long and half a mile wide. Right at the threshold for a planetary killer. People...this was only one of literally thousands of astroids in our solar system that come and go in an unpredictable orbit from the belt around the sun, weaving in and out of the planets. I say unpredictable because they are affected by the gravitational pull of planets they pass and that alters where they will go on their next pass. I am honestly amazed we have not had a global killer since the dinosaur age. My guess is the Big Man (God) doesn't want it to happen

I don't know if anybody else noticed, but precision and detail in this scene is such that if you pay close attention you'll see a giant tsunami forming just seconds after the asteroid has hit the earth. What an amazing job they did 👏
In the image you can see the earth today. The shape of the continents when the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs was very different than it is today. I don't understand how they didn't realize this ... Not so amazing job.........
@@ThyPandora I agree with that. But I don't think it was that difficult to be a little more exact about the situation on the continents at that time. That wouldn't kill the entertainment ... it would just be more realistic
Actually they were already close to what they look like today. The US just had a giant sea going through it and where the asteroid struck there was a shallow sea, Central America wasn’t fully form. This where the movie got it wrong cuz in this scene it strikes on land. Even so as a kid this scene scared the living shit out of me too
MISTAKE. In the image you can see the earth today. The shape of the continents when the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs was very different than it is today. I don't understand how they didn't realize this ...
Good captivating opening. I remember watching it in the cinema. They don't do movies like these anymore. With that said, all this never really happened in history, the asteroid thing I mean.
By 10,000 nuclear weapons does he mean Hiroshima size (15 kilotons), modern typical size (about megaton or a little less), Castle Bravo (15 megatons; biggest US bomb), or Tsar Bomba (57 megatons; biggest USSR bomb)?
Shame they didn’t put the continents in the right place. 65 million years ago North America wasn’t connected to South America at all. Actually North America was connected to Europe
One of those movies that were a must-see event in theaters back in the summer of 1998, but oh boy, it hasn't aged well: the beginning of Michael Bay's fixation with slow-mo shots, sentimentality, plot holes bigger than any of the explosions, and forced juvenile humor; The Rock remains his best film.
This opening scene the ending and I also somewhat was touched when chick went to his ex’s place to try and redeem himself by putting down a shuttle at her house with his kid.
so many inaccuracies in this film if you look at the moon youll notice the hare and mortar is looking away from earth when in reality the moon is tide locked making impossible to spin while rotating
It didn't hit with a force of 10000 nuclear weapons, it hit with a force of over 21 billion hiroshima bombs or 100 million tsar bombs (the largest nuke ever detonated). Also, the dust only covered the earth for at most a decade (current estimate is 2 years), not 'a thousand years'. This is all well documented and could have been very easy to look up, especially to avoid committing two big scientific errors in the first sentence spoken in your film
True but in case you haven't noticed this is not a documentary it's a movie and movies take liberties to make the story more dramatic. A suffocating cloud the sun was powerless to penetrate for 2 days doesn't sound as great😂

The film has also a great soundtrack. So its a shame that the storyline, accurateness and acting in it is so super shitty.
"it happened before, it will happen again. It's just a question of when."
That is one of the scariest lines ever, because it's so true. We don't know when an asteroid might come and hit us again.
That line gives me Goosebumps every time I watch this movie from the beginning

"You guys couldn't tell us who really killed Kennedy, could you?"
@@surindersingh724 if you've ever had the flu and watched it on loop on a VHS cassette, then you will understand, LOL

It is now believed that the rock hit with the force of a 100 million megatonne blast.
Which is 2 million times more powerful than the largest nuclear warhead ever made (50 Megatonne).
Charlton heston's brief narration is monumental! it sets the whole tone of the movie.
michael bay loves explosions so much he even made the title explosion
Just like in Transformers 5 there are explosions coming right over the Paramount logo as soon as it appears onscreen 😅
this is by far the best intro every the music, the voice over, the graphics its amazing, chilling and just perfect for the movie
I actually cried at the end of this movie when Bruce Willis sacrificed himself to destroy the asteroid and save his daughter and friends and all those on Earth from an asteroid the size of Texas.
When I was a kid I watched this with my cousin, and he cried at the part when harry pushed the button and saw flashbacks of his daughter when she was a little girl.
It was voted #1 movie that made men cry bc of the father daughter element
Me too!!! I absolutely love this movie!!

I was there in 1998 watching this intro on cinemas 👏👏👏
A flawless opening to a movie, one of my favorites. From the visuals, to the music, topped off by Charlton Heston's narration.
when I saw this intro, the music the asteroid, music, atmosphere is creepy as hell
Always thought as badass..

maybe 100 million hiroshima bombs
Awesome intro. I think it's pretty cool and appropriate that the filmmakers added the Chicxulub extinction event to set up the movie's story

this scared me to death when i was younger knowing this could happen again
It still can...🤯
