    Absolutely awful

    Very poor writing based on what must be zero research. Some classically bad acting.

    awful!

    A meteorite from outer space collides with a human space station called Hyperion, killing immediately 12 astronauts from the NASA. More meteors are falling on Earth, causing terrible damages in the cities. A scientist is investigating why the warnings regarding the dangerous trajectory of the meteorites were hidden, causing the accident to happen.

    The plot of this film could be the basis for a good 70's-like disaster movie, or a post-2001 conspiracy film. Unfortunately, the acting is awful, the script is horrible, and the art direction is terrible. Did I mention the extremely bad acting?

    It looks like a TV drama, but it worst than that. Stay away from this film.

    Not bad at all

    This was not a bad movie if you set your expectations off low budget films right. Yes some off the acting wasn't great at times and yes there was some inaccurate scientific details but despite that it was an enjoyable film, the special effects were not too bad I've seen way worse in higher rated movies!. I enjoyed it, didn't find it boring at all but again i had realistic expectations. I see alot off bad reviews but i guess these people have only ever watched box office hits. Is it perfect? No. But despite the problems I've stated it was a an enjoyable movie. Would definitely be worth a watch.

    TV movie dreadful

    Does your grass need cutting? Could you go for a walk? Do it - even the actors are bored with this dreadful pile

    Don't even bother 😱😱😱😱

    I tried, I really did.

    I always go into movies with a positive mindset and a genuine desire to overlook any foibles and try to find the entertainment value. With this one, it was just too much of a stretch. It's just one more example of a whole series of movies in the 2000s and 2010s where they tried to do an epic disaster film on a shoestring budget, and wound up with exactly what you'd expect.

      They stated that the space station was in Geo Synchronous orbit. The space station is not in GEOSYNC orbit but orbits at about 200 miles up making an orbit about every 90 minutes. GEOSYNC orbit is about 22,000 miles up. The images of the space station in the movie show its orbit to be low earth orbit.
