Trivia:
After discovering the comet, one of the astronomers is killed in a car accident. This mirrors the real life car accident death (July 18 1997, in outback Australia) of astronomer Eugene Shoemaker, who helped discover the Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: When Sarah's mom tells Leo she is up on the hill, the camera pans to a mountain top hill overlooking a huge valley. Richmond is a one hour drive from the nearest Mountain-like hills. Even then, the mountains in Virginia are completely covered with trees. It is obviously somewhere in Southern California. moreQuotes:
Mark: How do we set the nukes inside the comet and get out before they blow?Orin Monash: We don't.
Andrea: Look on the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after us.

5.9!? I can't believe that. I know disaster movies are usually crap such as The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, Godzilla, Independence Day, etc. This however was not crap. It boasted a fine cast that did great work the standout being Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall. The rest of the cast though also did quite well. The story was handled in a fairly realistic manner and didn't require me to roll my eyes at the many plot contrivances the way the others I listed did. The only major flaw for me was the casting of tea Leoni. The usually dependable actress was extremely bland in this film. She has done much better work in her career. Despite that flaw this is another fine movie that for some reason is really under rated.
