Two 90's Hollywood Comet blockbuster movies released into movie theaters

In the past 14 years, Hollywood overlooked the comet and asteroid end of the world genre that is highly popular among moviegoers. There is something about comet movies that captures the allure of the moviegoing public. We figure that moviegoers enjoy watching end of the world movies involving comets and asteroids projecting toward Earth to end life.

Two 90's Hollywood comet blockbuster released into movie theaters in 1998. Deep Impact and Armageddon hit the box office scene, making a huge impact in the box office. Deep Impact generated nearly $142 million in domestic ticket sales while Armageddon delivered the highest grossing box office performance in 1998.

Moviegoers have waited patiently to watch another good comet movie. Good comet movies can make a bundle, especially with end of the world Mayan Calendar and galactic alignment discussions crowding 2012. We have yet to experience a major natural disaster. Zombie movies entertain our fears of a lethal virus transforming the living into the walking dead.

Moviegoers enjoy watching comet movies since filmmakers humanize characters. We can identify with the movie characters because our actions may resemble theirs. This is why moviegoers find end of the world movies with comets and asteroids entertaining and sometimes emotionally charged.

The last two Hollywood blockbusters dealing with a comet and asteroid were released in movie theaters in 1998. Deep Impact is about a comet heading toward Earth. A space team is assembled to save the world, though the outcome is unexpected. We see an ensemble cast of major actors playing roles that depict how people will react when the world is on the brink of annihilation.

In the Armageddon movie, a team of oil drillers are recruited to save the world. The world endures two asteroid collisions, with one hitting Southeast Asia to cause a major tsunami and another slamming in the dead center of Paris to create a nuclear-type explosion. Both asteroid impacts deliver adverse results.

How will you respond to the end of the world? Will you forgive a friend? Talk with lost family members? Find religion? Get saved? Gain the courage to ask out your dream person? Comet and asteroid movies are entertaining and emotional concepts because people must make a decision to change.
