Meteor: First Impact

I love disaster type movies and was excited when I saw this one as I had not seen anything about it. The storyline could have been a good one, but it needed a stronger screen writer. The actors were beyond terrible and never once did I believe anything they were saying or doing. Not to spoil anything, but when people say they love you and you are discussing catastrophic situations one would expect some physical emotions - tears, hugs, anything, but nope! Not this movie! The best 'actor' was the rifle with the wooden butt stock that flew out of the daughter's hands when she tried to shoot it. I kept thinking it'd get better but it never did and I did watch til the end with hopes of a decent ending - denied! Whoever wrote, directed, and starred in this should have to return their paychecks! Again, don't bother watching this movie! I've read better stories from my young students!

"Meteor: First Impact" is a cinematic catastrophe that leaves viewers longing for a real meteor strike to put an end to their suffering. From the opening scene, it's clear that this film is on a collision course with failure. The plot, if you can call it that, is a jumbled mess of clichés and predictability.

The characters are as flat as the surface of the moon, lacking any depth or development. Their actions and motivations are often baffling, making it impossible to invest in their fates. The dialogue is so cringe-worthy that it's almost impressive, with cheesy one-liners that belong in a parody rather than a serious disaster movie.

Special effects, which should be the saving grace of a film like this, are shockingly bad. The meteor itself looks like a poorly animated rock, and the destruction it causes is laughably unrealistic. It's as if the filmmakers were trying to outdo the absurdity of the script with equally absurd visuals.

The pacing is excruciatingly slow, with long stretches of nothing happening followed by brief moments of chaos that lack any tension or excitement. Even the most die-hard disaster movie fans will find themselves checking their watches and wondering when it will all end.

In conclusion, "Meteor: First Impact" is a catastrophic failure in every sense of the word. It's a film that should come with a warning label: "View at your own risk." Save your time and money for something more deserving of your attention, because this meteoric disaster deserves nothing more than a 1 out of 10 rating.

I'm scratching my head over the people who gave this movie 10/10. I wonder if we watched the same movie. I usually am pretty generous if at least I enjoyed it but this movie failed to deliver much of anything. It was the usual scientist who nobody listens to at their own risk, and no issue was resolved. The acting was OK but the teen girl was terrible. The flashbacks were so awkward that I didn't even know if I was still watching the same movie. Too much time was spent on the psychopath in the woods. As for typical disaster fare, there was nothing to get excited about, and based on what I did see, it is a stretch to believe that the meteors actually had the impact the scientist predicted.

Despite the fact that this movie quickly runs off the tracks, i will say it is watchable. Thom Hallum and Emma Grace Sanderson don't have the greatest material to work with here but they make the most of it. I've seen some other movies similar to this where the main event isn't actually the oncoming disaster, but everyday people problems. There just isn't enough here to warrant a very high rating even though i think Hallum does sort of engage the audience. For me it was something to watch and critique, and will be fondly recalled. But it has some holes. In fact Plot Holes might have been a better title. I dunno, maybe if i watch it again it will all be clearer to me. Don't fear it though, pop some corn and give it a watch.

This movie was slow, actors fair, but the script let them down. There was too much time walking around in the woods looking for Lucas. There flashback scenes with the mother, disscussing dying of cancer, which seemed to be out of place with what is happening, probably to fill in time. Then more walking around in the woods getting to a station, where they finally find Lucas. The ending leaves you up in the air, as I watched this movie on Netflix, the screen went blank. I thought it was another ad, then the credits appeared, I don't know what happened. Maybe they forgot to write an ending? Very disappointing.
