Elijah Wood's 1998 disaster film 'Deep Impact' is now available for free streaming on Tubi, attracting renewed interest. Released in the same year as Michael Bay's 'Armageddon', both films depict apocalyptic scenarios involving a meteor threatening Earth. While 'Deep Impact' featured a star-studded cast including Wood, Morgan Freeman, and Téa Leoni, it received mixed reviews and grossed approximately $350 million against an $80 million budget. In comparison, 'Armageddon' became a box office hit, earning around $550 million despite receiving poor reviews. 'Deep Impact' currently holds a 45% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, slightly higher than 'Armageddon's' 42%. The simultaneous release of these films in 1998 highlights a trend of studios producing rival projects with similar premises, a practice that has since become less common in the industry. As audiences revisit 'Deep Impact', the film's legacy continues to evolve, showcasing the enduring appeal of disaster cinema.
