...five-story U.S. embassy. The next, the earth trembles as a thunderclap unleashes a mighty shock wave. Seconds later, black smoke plumes into the sky as the tarmac ignites, flashing fire to parked cars and passing buses. The blast shatters every window within a quarter-mile radius into lethal slivers, blows the bombproof doors off the embassy, sucks out ceilings and furniture and people, pancakes a seven-story building next door into a mountain of rubble.

This has had the unprecedented effect of elevating teary-eyed hugs to the same level of cinematic importance as blowing up the Chrysler Building. The emotional climax of Deep Impact, for instance, occurs when Tea Leoni's reporter character embraces her estranged dad as they stand on a windswept Atlantic beach.
