Movie about asteroids hitting the earth and some families could be moved to a safe

Tools    





First my sincerest apologies if this is a TV series, but there was a show about asteroids coming towards earth.

The government decides to save the top-tier people by moving them into some safe house thing. The rest flee for their lives. One family - the parents give the daughter her baby sister, and lets her run off with this guy that she likes, while they just hug and wait for the worst.

A scientists meets her father who is standing at the beach, and also embrace as the tsunami caused by the asteroid approaches them.

There is a spacecraft that is ordered to destroy the largest asteroid heading towards earth, and they succeed, and there's a moment where the actors all gaze to see "shooting stars" in the sky.

Does anyone know the title of this movie?



Deep Impact. Great movie, lame title.

(She's a reporter, btw, not a scientist)

Yup. Deep Impact all the way. Robert Duvall did his usual excellent job. I thought the story was even better than Armegeddon..



OMG thank you so much! Apologies for the late reply.
