Deep Impact , on the other hand, affected me emotionally because it explored how individuals might react to imminent, inescapable destruction of not only self but everything anyone might hold dear. For me it was the far superior film despite its flaws. I am an unregenerate fan of all things SF, very patient with dreck if it has at least one interesting element, including stunning special effects. Yet never in my middling-long life has there been so much SF available, including even the excellent. Even though I am annoyed every time a spaceship screeches as it makes a physically impossible turn in space, I keep watching and reading and hoping for better and enjoying what I can.
Criticism is good, discrimination is good, lots to choose from is really, really good.
I'm glad it got a good review. I read the story as a kid, not entirely liking having to page through such a long thing. Now, I recently heard the Alien Voices production , and I thought it was good. I thought it didn't deserve such a bad review. You might have wanted to note that the thing wasn't made for detail, it was made for a radio voice version of it.
