Think back to 1979 and a disaster movie called Meteor; Sean Connery,
Natalie Wood, Russian and American scientists united in a desperate
attempt to stop a giant asteroid ploughing into the Earth. Twenty years
on and Meteor has spawned its very own trend. Bar a certain giant
lizard, 1998 is the year of the asteroid disaster-movie. And while
action junkies should gear up for Jerry Bruckheimer's explosive
Armageddon (big rock threatens the Earth, Bruce Willis dives into a
space shuttle to destroy it), DreamWorks' more thoughtful Deep Impact
(same plot, no Bruce Willis, more human drama) has managed to get its
foot in the door first.
