Why watch this film?
Interesting fact: 'Deep Impact' was released the same summer as Michael Bay's famous 'Armageddon', which affected its popularity and box office performance. However, if you're looking for a movie about humanity's struggle to survive an impending meteorite impact, focusing more on characters than action, then this is your best choice. 'Deep Impact' focuses on a journalist (Téa Leoni) investigating a strange rumor around the President of the United States (Morgan Freeman), only to uncover the truth: an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. It may be a bit melodramatic at times, but it captures and conveys the tragedy of such a scenario. The story follows several subplots featuring a great ensemble cast, including in addition to Leoni and Freeman, legendary Robert Duvall, Elijah Wood, and Jon Favreau, among others.

From the same director
On the Basis of Sex
This biographical movie is already relevant right off the bat due to the identity of the subject of the biography, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who made history with numerous cases presented in front of the United States Court of Appeals, marking the fight for equal rights in the US - and, then, becoming only the second woman to join the Supreme Court of the country. ‘On the Basis of Sex’ takes a few poetic licenses, but has solid performances from its cast (especially Felicity Jones, from ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’), which includes big names such as Armie Hammer, Kathy Bates and Sam Waterston.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Atlas
With movies like The Mother, Jennifer Lopez has returned to the action genre in collaboration with Netflix. Atlas is the latest—and most ambitious—example of this partnership, featuring a story that blends science fiction set in a distant future where an android with advanced artificial intelligence (played by Shang-Chi's Simu Liu) has brought humanity close to extinction. Atlas Shepherd (Lopez), a data analyst, is drawn into a mission to capture the rogue android, with whom she shares a mysterious past, and must learn to trust machines to succeed. While its ambition is appreciated, the film places more emphasis on action—with somewhat generic execution—than on the reflective aspects of science fiction. It looks like any other generic blockbuster, but if you're looking for light entertainment, it might be for you.
Shin Ultraman
Earth is under attack. Alien invaders, known as the S-Class Species, are ravaging the planet. In a desperate struggle for survival, humanity places all its hopes in an unexpected savior: a giant warrior from outer space.
