Gotta love modem and Ancient Cellphone™ plot points from back when they didn’t know how to write the Internet.
I think the first movies to depict the Internet well didn’t hit till the 2010s.

President Morgan Freeman gives a science lecture. US-Russian crew on space shuttle will go and defeat the comet. Innocent times.

Very interesting to compare this to Don’t Look Up from last year. Same basic plot. Entire focus shifted to earth fake news. And of course better outcome.

Oh shit survival-cave lottery cut-off is age 50. In 3 years I won’t be eligible if deep impact scenario unfolds unless they decide I have exceptional necessary post-asteroid skills. 💀
