Just read on the Wiki page that Spielberg was originally supposed to direct Deep Impact? But he had to finish Amistad first and the studio wanted it out before Armageddon. Wow! |

Armageddon is the superior film. Even though, as many before me have pointed out, it would be easier to train astronauts how to drill. |

Armageddon for me, infinitely more memorable and rewatchable (even though it’s cheesy AF and would probably strike me today as unbearably sexist). Looking at that still image from Deep Impact makes me wish I liked it more. Haven’t seen it in 20 years though. |

This is not exactly a battle. Armageddon will win this handily

I’m trying to think of others.... 1998: Antz v. A Bugs Life (clear win for the latter?) 2011: No Strings Attached v. Friends With Benefits (both forgettable so they tie for the loss) hmmm.... |

Yes there are many more. The 97-98 period was insane for this type of scenario. Next up will be Antz/Bugs. |

1999 -- The Matrix v. The Thirteenth Floor (pretty sure we'd know the winner) |

I consider Armageddon to be one of the ultimate blockbusters of all time. Deep Impact is a big fat bore except for the big wave. |
