Funny, I heard the opposite: that _Deep Impact_ had the decent science,
and that _Armageddon_ didn't.  One example cited was the spacecraft
used.  In _Deep Impact_, they use something big and beefy---like it
could handle a long flight---but in _Armageddon_, they hurtle off in
what look like souped-up space shuttles, which would've run out of juice
long before they reached the thing.  Also, the notion that a body "the
size of Texas" could sneak up on the Earth at such short notice is a
little too hard to believe.

Still, the important thing is that New York City gets bashed
spectacularly... ;-)

Cheers,

Paul.
