Stam Fine compares two 1990's films that both dealt with a big terrible thing hitting the Earth, and it's not the Macarena. Deep Impact came out first and did well while Armageddon did even better. They're so similar in some ways and yet very different in others so let's take a look. Mimi Leder's Deep Impact has Elijah Wood, Tea Leoni, and Morgan Freeman; while Michael Bay's Armageddon has Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Michael Clark Duncan, Steve Buscemi, Billy Bob Thornton, Peter Stormare, Jason Isaacs, Owen Wilson, etc.

Loved them both. They both pass the most important test of all, rewatchability. I've gleefully seen both more times than I can remember.
It probably a good thing to be so easily pleased
Volcano and Dante's Peak demands the same treatment.
and like these two, entirely different movie experiences. And as silly as Volcano is, at least it doesn't feel like its insulting my intelligence the way Armageddon does.
They could of saved a lot of time and trouble if Frodo had just brought the Asteroid to Mordor or just had Steven Tyler swallow it.
I see what you did there :)
lol
Deep Impact all the way for me. Love the movie and seen it numerous times. Going for the intelligent approach pays off for me, especially when you've got a lot of heavy hitters in the acting department who ground it (Freeman/Redgrave/Schell/Duvall and more). Saw Armageddon once at the time and hated the 'let's go kick some asteroid butt' mentality of it.
armageddon has some good actors (in other things) in it, but they're in the film they're in.
@@StamFine absolutely. Loved Steve Buscemi in The Wedding Singer from the very same year and the cast are definitely great in other things. I love a lot of disaster movies. But Armageddon is definitely my kryptonite when it comes to them.
Let me guess, you're a Democrat.
@@eq1373 hey now, not ALL republicans are uneducated idiots.
Deep Impact is to Armageddon what Dante's Peak is to Volcano.
11:52 craft services table visuals makes me appreciate the many humorous cut away scenes that you do! It is rewarding for the viewer to pay attention. Thank you, all this hard work is starting to pay off but damn is it taking awhile to see the recognition that you deserve.
ironically both Elijah Wood and Liv Tyler end up in the Lord of the Rings
Deep Impact: All book, no cover.
Armageddon: All cover, no book.
magical dissaprearing line of dialog
"yallo youston !.. we have problem"
Deep Impact made me contemplate the symbolism in the movie and deep philosophical issues. Armageddon made me contemplate that there are two hours I will never get back.
So you are saying Armageddon is from Mars and Deep Impact is from Venus, is that it?
@@Laceykat66 No, I'm saying we should organize our civilization around lobsters.
@@lonjohnson5161 I will stock up on drawn butter. ;-)

😂😂😂😂
This is probably the best channel on CZcams.
Trying to make a serious representation of how the world would greet a near extinction level event like Deep Impact half-heartedly did is pointless. It's literally too big to do it justice. I WOULD like to see a long miniseries that really looked into the societal reaction, breakdown and solidarity, banalities and extremes, leading up to such an event. Done well, that could be amazing television about the human condition. It would need to be an exceptionally crafted script tho. Perhaps a series of novels could do it justice.
I liked the outer space scenes in Deep Impact over the other .
Deep Impact was by far the best film.
Saw both these in the cinema with my folks. Scratched an itch that doesn't need scratching anymore.
I only saw Deep Impact back then as a kid and I still have the family tape of it, never saw Armageddon before but I probably would have liked it back then since I liked so many of the disaster movies that came out in the 90s and early 2000s like Twister, Independence Day, The Core, Deep Impact ofc, Night of the Twisters and more.
Also if you haven't done "The Core" you should, it is great.
Cracking reviews. Haven't seen either movie. So I'm looking forward to watching them in the spirits you have recommended here.
it will be interesting to compare if nothing else.
Seeing Robert Duvall made me think of Network. I don’t usually comment with recommendations, but I’d love to see a Stam Fine review of that.
@Lisvender- network is totally doable.
I enjoyed both movies when I saw them in cinemas and rewatched ..
But I definitely prefer Deep Impact as a movie: it has a better story, more believable characters, dialogue and acting overall. It's not as loud and flashy but I'd think it might leave more than an impact (as a movie) for whoever watches both. I can't call Armageddon a good movie and I would say it also doesn't age as well and will be less relatable with time... But Deep Impact is a good movie in my opinion. I found the characters more relatable too
2nd movie I ever saw at the pictures, with my wife, and the opening with the Space shuttle, doing a repair job on a satellite will always make me cringe,
the space walking astronaut is struggled to get a chip out of the satellite, and its a socket 7 ZIF socket, with the locking arm firmly closed, they would never get it out without smashing the socket, in the theatre I remember looking at my wife, and she also looked at me, and we both silently cringed over it. then got on with our lives
Nice comparison: another comparison documentary would be White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen, very similar topics and both released on the same year
Staying with disastrous disaster movies, how about reviewing 2003's "The Core"? Ridiculous movie science, but a great cast.
Never seen The Core, so it might be worth a look at some point.
So true, the Core is brilliant and it's pacing perfect.
Absolutely. The Core has the craziest, nonsensical movie science in all cinema and makes no sense whatsoever......watched it 6 or 7 times because despite this it's actually a really good, fun movie.
@@codebasher1 it has the worst CGI ever though
@@diamondaxe4133 No one ever said it's CGI was great. GCI doesn't make movies great.
Good choice doing a 2 for 1 review of these movie.
I think a perfect movie could have been if they mixed both movies:
- The subplots of Elijah Wood and Tea Leoni
- The action intensity from Armageddon’s first action scene from the intro
- Robert Duvall should be the father of Liv Tyler’s character and be the one who decides to sacrifice himself like Bruce Willis
- The Tsunami scene should remain
- Morgan Freeman as the president of course
- Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare mist keep as the comic reliefs
Great video! Now can you do one for the two 1997 hot rock movies? Dante's Peak vs. Volcano?
sure
Its always fun (funny?) when there are 2 exact theme movies that come out (specifically when its just 2 and not a craze). These and the volcano movies come to mind always. I think I saw both of these (and the volcano ones) when they came out and very close to each others specifically to compare. And they seem to have a similarity of each having very different takes on their versions. One being supposedly better made, the other being actually the fun one.
I think it says something about these movies when you start rooting for the asteroid.
It's been the leading 3rd party candidate in every American election year since...
the real mindblower today would be contrasting both these movies together against Don't Look Up (but IMHO, agreed Armageddon is the most unlikely of classics)
Armageddon is in the Criterion Collection
I love both of the, But Meteor > Deep Impact > Armageddon!
I bet the Eagles could have helped with that.
(What if they checked the meteor into the Hotel California?)
But where's the Volcano/Dante's Peak comparison video
Do Dante’s Peak vs Volcano
All right, mate. How do they compare to Don't Look Up?
nooooo idea.
I've watched Deep Impact a few times, and I'll probably watch it again. In contrast, I watched Armageddon once, with a certain amount of trepedation, and found the experience to be every bit as pointless as I feared it would be.
Best description of Armageddon I ever saw was a review which likened it to "having a metal waste bin placed over your head, which is then struck repeatedly with a ballpeen hammer for two and a half hours."
Wut
I swear Freeman could have become our President!
Wich movie is considered better wich movie is better acted and better directed
I no longer watch Michael Bay movies. After watching one of the transformers and saw how he shot a polo game like it was a massive battle i said nope that’s enough for me.
In 2003 another kiind of similar movie, called "The Core" came out, that one-upped both these movies in every respect -smart engaging story, dramatic, larger than life action + better special effects. Yet I don't think it did very well so perhaps my taste just blows.
I'm intrigued by people recommending The Core.
The Core at least stops to take a breath now and then, and doesn't shoehorn in a sappy love story just to show some love interest crying every time someone says "something went wrong"
And of course Aaron Eckhart is always amazing.
@@StamFine watch it.
"this is my kung fu, and it is strong" dj qualls
The Core was Armageddon but inside the Earth. Every bit as dumb.
Armageddon too old for this shit 👏👏👏😂😂😂
My fingers creaking just typing this.

DEEP IMPACT
TEA LEONI'S character
spent alot of time thinking the
ELE
was a coverup about a
PRESIDENTIAL affair
ARMAGEDDON
started right off with the
ASTEROID
...googling *bacon convention near me..."
And now there is "Greenland"....
I don't like how everybody mixes new horror movies with every genre they can think of at the time. comedy/horror, horror/drama, Sci fi/ horror all it made me do was get sicka horror
The problem with both movies? Not enough meteor impacts... I mean, that should have been half of each movie.
"Russian dashcam footage" LOL
Told from the asteroid’s point of view
Msnbc......actual news outlet. That's funny.
watch the
NBC TV movie
ASTEROID
In 2046 I Will Stop The Asteroid Like Armageddon

2 Doomsday Movies
This is a pretty good review of both. DI is more deep science and tries to be serious, Armageddon is more sensationalist. DI takes forever to get to the point however, with way too much boring emoting going on.
To compare them to drug users, DI is a stoner to Armageddon's meth head.
I watched both in the cinema. I enjoyed Deep Impact. I nearly walked out of Armageddon.
Sorry but this time you've got it completely backwards.
Armageddon - GOOD
Deep Impact - BAD
I can see how Armageddon may be more entertaining for the average joe, but for anybody with any knowledge or expertise in engineering/physics, Deep Impact was way more entertaining. Realism for us is half the fun!
watch
SPACE COWBOYS
Armageddon was a disaster, and to me, should never have been made...
Deep Impact all the way 🚀 🌊 ☄️
Now that you mention it they ARE two separate films...Does the one without the space drillers have anything as stupid as sending drill masters into space instead of teaching cosmonauts to drill?
no, Deep Impact is the less silly of the two.
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
was better
I was done with Bruce Willis and Armageddon was over the top. Deep Impact was a thinking persons film!
Deep impact is the better film; Armageddon is the better movie.
Armageddon was one of the most egregious cases of a movie with too much volume. The guys who did the sound mixing on that film should have be arrested.
Deep Impact is a more believable and realistic depiction of what could happen, whereas Armageddon is just a glorified action movie.
I initially thought Armageddon was far better when watched at the cimema at the time.
However, when it came to re-watching both movies, Deep Impact is the better film.
Yeah the effects could've been better, but the pacing way more effective than the Byzantine . . .
Armageddon . . .
which is way too long, full of needless propaganda (the Russian re-fuelling part
. . seriously what was the point) and is badly need off a serious edit.
Armageddon - a Viewer's Cut is required as opposed to a Director's Cut.
Cut Armageddon by 45- 60 minutes and Armageddon can be revived and considered
" a classic."
Maybe Armageddon is best viewed with a lot of people and Deep Impact is one to watch at home.
watching it in the theater is what made me dislike it. It was the film that finally went too far, and triggered my habit to always bring precautionary ear plugs with me whenever I go to the cinema. As a kid, I swore I would never allow myself to utter the phrase "its too loud"... and Armageddon had made me a liar... and I was still only 17 at the time.
And then upon repeat viewings, I find the cuts were so rapid and frequent that I felt like I was having a fever dream. I mean seriously... half a dozen transitions in the space of a minute? If you take the wonderful cast doing what they do best out of the equation, there was almost nothing else to carry this film.
I almost feel Deep Impact would still have worked with a different cast, as the story and structure was enough to keep it interesting.
But remove the cast of Armageddon and replace them with even the cast of Deep Impact... and it would likely fall flat. No offense to DI's cast, they did wonderfully too... but you needed the all star roster of geniuses at comedic timing. Without them, you just have a visual and auditory assault.
When the survival of the earth depends upon Bruce Willis, you know that old terra firma has some serious problems. "Deep Impact" is not an action flick - it's more akin to the [now forgotten?] "On the Beach" [1959], a meditation on how people prepare for The End. Two very different movies, I think. And seriously, Billy Bob Thorton as the head of NASA. Seriously?
ARMAGEDDON
was better
I can see how Armageddon may be more entertaining for the average joe, but for anybody with any knowledge or expertise in engineering/physics, Deep Impact was way more entertaining. Realism for us is half the fun!
This narrator thinks a lot of himself.
The parts with Frodo can go. The rest is serviceable. Armageddon just plain sucked.
