Armageddon

Contains spoilers, click to show

Deep Impact- came out the same year as Armageddon. Deep impact came out in May and Armageddon came out in July. So Deep impact came out first, but Armageddon got more attention, more money and that song that wont get out of your head.

The plot: A comet is hurtling toward Earth and could mean the end of all human life. The U.S. government keeps the crisis under wraps, but crack reporter Jenny Lerner (Tea Leoni) uncovers the truth -- forcing U.S. President Beck (Morgan Freeman) to announce his plan. Grizzled astronaut Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner (Robert Duvall) and his team will land on the comet and lay explosives, hopefully deterring the object from its doomsday course. If not, humanity will have to prepare for the worst.

So in Armageddon, earth and the people on earth survive, while in this film the comet hits earth and the main charcters cant stop the comet.

These two films are basically the same, but different. I might be hard to hear this but i like Armageddon better than this film. Yes you heard that right, i like the more stupid film than the other stupid film.

Deep Impact- is stupid it but fun to watch.

Kudos

Better second time round

Some Weather Wardens control fire, others control earth, water, or wind -- and the most powerful can control more than one element. Without Wardens, Mother Nature would wipe humanity off the face of the earth...

Joanne Baldwin is a Weather Warden. Usually, all it takes is a wave of her hand to tame the most violent weather. But now Joanne is trying to outrun another kind of storm: accusations of corruption and murder. So she's resorting to the very human tactic of running for her life.

Her only hope is Lewis, the most powerful Warden. Unfortunately, he's also on the run having stolen not one but three bottles of Djinn -- making him the most wanted man on earth. Still, Joanne and her classic Mustang are racing hard to find him -- because there's some bad weather closing in fast...

<strong>Second time round</strong>

I remember trying to read this a few years ago and seriously struggled so after finishing the Morganville series I decided to try again. I struggled again at first but actually stick with it and quite enjoyed it. It was fast paced and a bit patchy in places but well worth sticking with.
This time round I will be going on to book 2!
