At the beginning near side of the moon is seen facing away from earth which never happens because of tidal locking. Also the asteroid had the impact energy of 100,000,000 megatons of TNT. So the statement that it hit with the force of 10,000 nuclear weapons would only be true if there were 1000 megaton nukes in existence (The largest is 50). It actually hit with the force of 5,000,000,000 nuclear weapons (Nukes with a yield like one detonated at Hiroshima).
@NukeFishy That's true! I do not know so much about nuclear energy, other than the basic fision and fusion function and E=MC2. I've heard that this comet had the power of 100 000 000 hirochima bombs, but you propaply knows more about this than me :)
the second worst end of the world movie i have ever seen. first being deep impact.
the only good scenes where the openign scene and the new york scene immediately after. eveything else is just drama, love and all that bullshit. deep impact is drama, love and bullshit for the ENTIRE film, until the 3 minuet ending where the asteroid finally hits eath.
@njdevil281 You're pretty ignorant about impact events. An impact with an object 6 miles wide would do more than "kick up dust and change the climate a couple of degrees." It would vaporize earth and water for hundreds of miles around, create a hole 20 miles deep, trigger the largest tsunamis ever seen on our planet, and eject enough material to literally cook the earth's entire atmosphere as the ejected material rained down all around the planet. Next time research a bit of physics.
@magnernj5 I apologize, it is your opinion and god bless you for having an opinion. I just don't feel the same way about the movie like you do. Again, sorry for the remark.
@ 1:10 you see North and South America being connected. However, 65 million years ago, the geography of the Earth was very different. The ismuth of panama did not form until 3 million years ago (much later). Also, the sun was not blocked out for 1,000 years. More on the scale of 2-4 years.
@CaptainXero Also, the video depicted the meteor hitting the Yucatan Peninsula. Wasn't it the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs that also created the Gulf of Mexico (which was present in the clip)?
Does anyone else find it extremely worrying that the opening commentary has to compare the asteroid to a number of man made weapons? We shouldn't even have to make that comparison, nuclear weapons are fucking retarded!
If it's true that the force from the asteroid was equivalent to 10.000 nuclear weapons, how much damage would there had been, if worldwide nuclear warfare had started in 1980's when US alone had 36.000 nuclear missiles in stock? Added to this, what USSR got, we would be pretty much screwed.
@PeteSa88 Idont know if 10,000 nuces is the exact forse. BBC's version tells the forse of the meteor was up to 100 000 000 000 nuces! Personally I think there needs to be more than 10 000 nuces to destroy all life on earth.
Take a look at the crator that Rock made! Its 100 miles wide & probably almost as deep! Erousion has ade it very impractical to test this now.
When determinig asteroid impacts, the effects are how they measure its destructive power. The impact site alone provides us the means to measure it effects.
@PeteSa88 I saw a science show once where a scientist who had studied nuclear weapons claimed that simply 9 warheads is all it would take to cause worldwide devastation, blocking out the sun, and countless particles thrown into the air.
So imagine each of those Cold War nations containing thousands of those things when all that is needed to nearly destroy life on our planet is 9.... pretty scary if you ask me.
@iainhead Simultaneously. 9 of today's nuclear missiles simultaneously going off could cause a nuclear winter. Should've have mentioned that in my previous comment, my apologies.
@The5hort5tuff Ahh right. Still, as devastating as 9 nuclear weapons going off simultaneously would be it would still be preferable to watching this film again.
@iainhead LOL!! I have never seen this film to be honest, so I wouldn't know how bad it is, but if you're willing to go through a nuclear crisis over watching Armageddon again, then I think I'll stay away from it. :)
@PeteSa88 10,000 is a gross understatement. Most people think hit hit with an impact of about 100 million megatons, which is 2 million times the most powerful nuke ever exploded
Try 10,000 times the force of our entire nuclear arsenal. Our own nukes couldn't do a fraction of what an asteroid can do. Science is our friend. People need to read up on it a little more and stop using bad science fiction movies for reference. >_>
This is what I don't get. From my understanding (and I may be wrong), when the asteroid hit all those years ago, it did create an explosion, but the earth wasn't engulfed in fire! The whole reason the dinosaurs died out was because the earth was covered in ash, blocking the sunlight, meaning it became colder and food was scarce.
Fuck it, even if I'm wrong, this movie has explosions in space, and gravity on a fucking asteroid, so I'm still winning!
@TheRandyChimp , it depends on the size, it did show, one of the armodilos, get hit by a gas jet causing it to escape the astroids pull and float into space. I think a gun would seize up in space, do to extreame heat, and extream cold, and the lubrication fluid would bead up into little ball and leave the gun.
@Akirameerkat Im arguing that in the scene where he pulls the gun out and arms the nuke, they're marching about the place like they're at home. That wouldn't happen. Less gravity means harder walking.
@TheRandyChimp of course, most scientists say, doing what they do in this movie to destroy the astroid, is the worst way to do it, because blowing it up would create more problems and more wide spread.damage.
@Akirameerkat Splitting an asteroid or a comet or a meteor in half in anyway just to get each half to go around the earth is a bad idea anyway, since it would probably shower us with debree and cause tidal waves depending on how close the pieces are....I think....I'm guessing tbh,
@TheRandyChimp sorry about the error. the blast wave incinerated even islands! and if megatsunamis were created, then how come they didn't wash over the islands! the oceans just burst into steam for cryin out loud!
@Mrcryptidsarereal Basically, if this did happen, the earth, like you said, would be covered in steam before the asteroid hit, and then the impact would cause a megatsunami. I don't think it would happen like it does in the film.
well hopefully something like majora's mask doesnt come outta no where and make the moon fall on the planet. If that happens, nothing will be left.....
this is jt's flat when he lived here, a piece of shit just 1 inch wide changed all that, it blocked with the force of 10,000 baby wipes, a trillion tonnes of shit and piss hurtled into jt's flat creating a flooding blanket of shit the sun was powerless to dry for a 1000 years, it happened the other day, it will happen again, its just a question of when.
They're not really rocks, they're super-dense chunks of iron and other metals, mainly. Anything that's really rock and ice explodes in the upper atmosphere (which can actually be worse, as no energy is wasted making a crater and it all goes into the heat blast and shock wave). Also, that's not how a shock wave of that size works. Even still, it's a great scene.
I dont know exactly. I know about a video wich is about this soundtrack. I think it's called 65 years later or something. I complitely understand what you mean:) The soundtrack is beautiful :D
My Dad used to do special effects for movies...He did this! <3 I love you, Daddy!!
