This has lost a little bit just due to its ageing however the story and the drama still hold up very well.
This is not an over the top film which I think is why it works so well, there is a crisis but everything that is dealt with in the movie makes sense and is logical rather than 'we need to shoot the asteroid out of the sky' kind of stuff.
By staying grounded in its style it helps to keep the viewer connected as we don't have to suspend belief for the movie to work.
It should hook you right in!
