gotta love how the meteors have the entire surface of the earth of 200 million square miles but manage to always hit only major american and european cities... literally one in a million shot...
There is always one spectacular effect of meteors hitting earth that film makers consistently miss. At 0:01 those boys and anyone in the wider vicinity would be long incinerated by the meteor before they even see it. The meteor hits with a speed of around 26.000 km/h. The air in front of that meteor is massively compressed and compressed air gets very, very hot. To around 3000°C.
This man this. Having to take compressible flow, I've learned how much power and devastation that shock waves can be. I'm sure as the meteor passed over, the land underneath would have been vaporized sorta like an atom bomb.
Sure, but I'm more impressed by the coordination of the meteors in the movie to hit nothing but densely populated areas. Everything else is small-time.
@@khymaaren in reality it wouldn't even have to hit anywhere near a populated area to destroy the whole planet. These impacts can be so massive that the earth's fricking entire environment changes like the dinosaur extinction event. Meteor kicks up so much dust, smoke and whatnot that it blocks out the sun for years!
Fun fact about this scene, the shockwave along with the rising dirt is all real. They set some sand on a table, set a firecracker in the middle of it and the resulting shockwave(and explosion) was caught with a camera that recorded at a super high framerate. The moment the meteor hits in the movie is the firecracker going off, everything after that one frame is all CGI. I remember seeing it on RUclips if I remember correctly several years ago. I may be wrong about some things there but definitely go and see if you can find it. It's really cool how they did this one scene that was only seconds.
The effect was real all the way up to the camera, primer cord under dirt with aluminum powder in the orginal explosion. They used some digital projections over geometry with particle effects to enhance the plate shot of paris so the buildings looked like they were breaking.
@@theevilascotcompany9255 LOL do You not remember the movie 'Deep Impact' ? Do You remember the location of one of the 2 comet pieces where one of them was supposed to hit ?
I love how the kids play with the 2CV suspensions at the beginning as a French I must say this is not cliché at all and completely legit we love to do this all day everyday.
I don’t care about the poor ratings some critics gave this movie. To me it’s one of the most epic, and legendary films of all time, & Bruce Willis nailed his roll as “All Go, No Quit,” Harry Stamper.
The only thing that bugs me is that people think you'll be able to see it coming through the atmosphere... Those rocks travels at tens of thousands of mph it would be a flash of light and then boom.
@@GastonBoucher Yes..they lose most of their speed…if they are SMALL. Huge ones like a half mile in diameter or more will be barely slowed down at all.
Two things: 1) I wanted someone to shout "Sacre bleu!" 2) I wanted the gargoyle, right at the last second, to turn to camera with a shocked expression. :)
Also grading is totally off. Look how dark and blue the first shots are and then the yellow wider shots. Looks like a completely different time of day. The destruction is pretty cool though.
Asteroid Hits Paris. I get that. Eiffel Tower goes down because of Asteroid...Okay... Arc de Triomphe in the next scene is still standing with the Asteroid Crater right next to it...Makes perfect sense.
Just realized that all the people in the Eiffel Tower would've MAYBE been alive to see the earth come rushing up to meet them, assuming any at the top got thrown off. Even then they're probably melting... sheeesh
Imagine seeing firey death from space smash into the city and seeing it explode with the flash, sound of impact and and shock-wave and violent expulsion of crust, asteroid and buildings coming towards You along with earthquake.
i had a friend who lived there when that thing come into russian air space. they painted a much different image than what i saw on the news here and i was also given a link to the papers that were local there. one area, i remember this because the damage was unlike anything i had seen, was a warehouse district that was flat as if hit with a giant skillet. there were two office workers (they survived) that injured when the wall they were near hit them and carried them some distance into the office spaces. the other people inside were not so injured. the wall, looked like a spider web of cracks, still intact but just caved inward.
If one of these meteors would just fall on Roland Emmerich's residence, we would be spared any further of these movies from him. Oh, and another for Michael Bay would be nice too. 😄
@@MrCouchmenGod wanted to punish France for the French Revolution, for rejecting the Catholic Apostolic Church of Rome, and for killing their noble King and Queen, who were both elected by God himself to rule over the prosperous, glorious, graciuos, eternal Catholic Monarchist France.
Its funny how it starts with the meteor being, like 20 stories high zooming across. Then, in the last shot, it's still up high in the atmosphere dropping downward. Poor consistency lol.
i literally felt like passing out when this is not even real that kid shaking the ball i felt sorry for him he got so frightened when he saw the meteor
It all depends on relative velocity, angle of entry and the mass of the meteor. A smaller meteor may slow down considerably if it hits at an angle that allows the atmosphere to cause friction and drag. A meteor with the mass of Australia landing almost straight down wouldn't even been noticed much by anyone underneath if it was going something like 5k m/s
This scene cracked me up. I know it’s supposed to be devastating and tragic and all that, but the chances of a meteor hitting precisely dead in the middle of a major city is ridiculously low. It’d most likely slam into the ocean or some sparsely inhabited area.
That SHOULD teach people to stop being hateful, stop racism, stop age / fat shaming ... Wait a minute! Even after THAT, people will just continue being the same :(
The visualization of the impact actually isn't that accurate. It would look more like a giant splash, with molten rock and soil in place of water flying in all directions like shrapnel from a giant cosmic nuke. It would also trigger a massive earthquake.
Notice the gargoyles were plugging their ears before the meteor arrived? They knew it was coming. God had them on speed dial and told them "I'm about to smite France, may be a little loud."
I’m just saying but if the meteor hit Paris and threw everything in the air. Than how tf hell did half of Paris survive it shower a scene in the movie after it hit
Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark. There is an asteroid or meteor heading towards Earth right now that they've discovered that is 60-80 miles wide. It is believe it won't hit the Earth. Anything 60 miles wide or larger is considered a planet killer, nothing at all would survive.
Yup. Would turn the planet into glass. What I find funny is that History had a docu-series about 10 ways the world could end. One of those episodes were a Rouge Planet the size of Neptune colliding with the Earth. People running to Fallout shelters. Like....Dude? Seriously. Where the Fuck you gonna go?
actually that's no CGI, the movie crew indeed replicated the earth in a parallel universe, fast forwarding the time therein to match our ages and blasted the meteor to them just to shoot this movie what a dedication to detail 🙌🙌🙌
I agree with many previous comments this is an implausible impact scene on many levels but is saved by that single symbolic shot of Notre Dames gargoyles perched over Paris destruction just like demons from Hell...😈🤔
Actually, this is a kinda better result. Because if it had hit on water, the tsunami caused would have been able to travel longer distances, destroying a major part of the continental population. Still, both disasters would have potentially eradicated most part but not all human beings.
gotta love how the meteors have the entire surface of the earth of 200 million square miles but manage to always hit only major american and european cities... literally one in a million shot...

To be honest paraisians are an insufferable bunch of stressed out misery machines.
This would improve Paris tremendously.
If disaster movies have taught me anything, it's to stay away from the Statue of Liberty.
Two things: 1) I wanted someone to shout "Sacre bleu!" 2) I wanted the gargoyle, right at the last second, to turn to camera with a shocked expression. :)
Or a mime with a striped blouse and a beret!
I mean, did you really hit Paris if you didn't have those things in shot? Let's be honest.
As far as I know the whole scene should be much brighter 'cause the meteor would ignite the atmosphere, if I'm not mistaken.
yes, but it's cooler to watch the city explode
The gargoyles are like: "well this is one way to start the day"
Me wishing after watching the Olympic's opening ceremony.
I can just imagine seeing that passing overhead and willing the momentum to take it further and further away...
If it passed that close to you, you would burst into flames.
this scene is symbolic for a nuclear bomb in Europe.
wake the fuck up !!
First few shots, the meteor is travelling horizontally, then in the final shot, it's coming in at a huge angle.
Because the camera was underneath looking up at it....perspective.
Also grading is totally off. Look how dark and blue the first shots are and then the yellow wider shots. Looks like a completely different time of day. The destruction is pretty cool though.
Standard Paris approach, go long for the line up, and then hard bank into the landing zone. Or have you never travel British Airways?
“Ilsa, we’ll always have….” Crap never mind.
Meteor to HQ: Should I do a flyover before impact?
Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full.
Norad's Santa tracker. Why would a meteor have such a trajectory after entering the atmosphere? Is it trying to make a connecting flight?
POV: Paris just finished its Olympics opening ceremonies
Year 1997 and still have better effects that lots of 2020s movies

This makes me feel lucky that i don't live in a famous, heavily populated metropolis

I like how Hollywood always choose major cities with a dense population when it comes to catastrophes.
maybe you haven't watch The Crazies:p
It wouldn't be a catastrophe if it landed in a vacant desert now would it?
They could show all European cities.
