It reminds me of Lars von Trier's film, Melancholia, which had to be inspired by Albrecht Dürer's Melencolia I.

Oh I loved that movie! Truly a case when abject depression or melancholia would be the normal mindset.

That'll leave an owie!
It may or may not render all life extinct. If life originated early in Earth's history and if this has happened several times (perhaps not on this grand a scale) then the implication is that bacteria might survive somehow.
The images of burnt cities, cooked but essentially still standing, suggests that humans in areas on the opposite side of the Earth from the impact might survive too, deep underground. The Earth's atmosphere would have been rendered unbreathable, and the oceans probably flash-boiled, so those few hypothetical human survivors would have to have life support to sustain them for centuries and probably millennia until conditions on the surface become livable again (if they ever do).
It's one of the reasons why Elon Musk wants there to eventually be a self-sustaining Mars colony. As a 'plan-B' for humanity.
