Meteor - Distruzione finale

First off, Me and A LOT of other people totally disagree with the previous comment.. This miniseries is horrific. They butchered the whole concept.. Everything is pretty much wrong in this miniseries. The acting is 'ok', but the script and the screenplay is totally bull. It feels like the writers sat down and drank themselves ass-faced and pretty much doodled through the whole script. I couldn't concentrate on the story because of all the sick things that were happening, and because of the totally off course lines that randomly popped in everywhere. I was literally sitting there pulling my hair off by the end.

According to the "Full cast and crew" list, the "writer" is known primarily for "writing" the scripts for "WWF Smackdown" or whatever one calls that fake wrestling crap. It shows--absolutely no subtlety or depth, nothing original, cardboard characters, standard disaster-movie format (various soap-operas wrapped around a catastrophe), minimal science and generally speaking, nothing worth recommending. I'd give it one star, but some of the special effects were tolerable. Barely. So if you're bored--and boy, you'd have to be REALLY bored--go ahead and watch it. Drugs and booze might help, but you'd have to do dangerous levels to even come close to enjoying this gobbler...and then, you'd probably just fall asleep. Which might be best.

This is teeth-numbingly, mind-bendingly, I'd-rather-do-a-gym-workout while sitting-on-a-cheese-grater-all-day than-continue-watching-this-after-20-minutes bad. Don't get me wrong - I LIKE bad TV... But this is only about the 5th show, of I'll-guess-at-40,000 TV shows I've seen in my lifetime, that I've HAD TO turn off mid-way through, it's THAT awful. There's no acting, no storyline, no character development - just knee-jerk reactions of the cast to the script, apparently written on the back of an envelope while the writer was watching all the other meteor movies he could rent for ideas, squeezed into a half-price video store rental weekend. A BIG, BIG waste of time.

This is quite possibly the worst made for TV movie ever and I'm even throwing in some Lifetime movies to come up with that.

Yes it does have a good cast, but GOD, please write some decent dialog for them. And how can 1 plot point turn up over and over again. The vehicle running out of gas was used twice. The funniest part was the vehicle that ran out of gas and the next scene shows them with the hood up and the thing has overheated. I HATED how the transition animation kept being used to switch from location to location. I guess they had to eat up time to split this garbage over 2 nights.

Back to the cast: the "big name" actors did an okay job, but the new faces that were featured need to try to have themselves digitally removed if they want to continue with a career. Terrible acting and terrible dialog are a bad combination.

I could go on and on.

What can you say positive about this movie. Absolutely nothing. Trying to shoot down meteor's with hand-held SAM (Surface to Air Missile) is ludicrous. Stingers only travel at Mach 2.2 about 2,000 miles and hour and meteors travel at over 4,000 miles per hour. You would only get about 3 seconds to see the meteor, for the missile to acquire the target, and fire, and that would only apply if the meteor was flying directly at you. This is just one of many factual errors in the movie. The town sheriff Stacey Keach has seen better days. Several times one of the towns low-life's threaten Stacey but he chooses to ignore the guy. Even when this low-life threatens him with a gun. Just one of the many ludicrous plot twists in this horrible movie. Like another poster has said if you were on drugs this movie might be a little interesting but you would be better off sleeping through it.
