Meteor: First Impact

I love a good bad "B" disaster movie. They are so ridiculous they are funny. They follow the same silly formula. This movie didn't have a point or one good laugh. Not even bad science facts. Didn't care about any of the characters. Giving credit to a 10 year old is insulting to the 10 year old. I think a cat dancing on my keyboard could come up with something better. If we were to look at the quality of the movie itself: flashbacks weren't explained; meteor's weren't explained; relationships weren't explained. Lots of cursing which was basically dialogue filler. I love cursing but it has to be used for a reason. Bottom line-don't bother.

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.

"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.

It was an enjoyable film. I watch movies to go somewhere else, and this film took me away. The storyline is solid, the cinematography is beautiful, and a chilling end-of-the-world scenario leaves you on the edge of your seat.

I often wonder what the future has in store for us all. The thoughts are overwhelming at times, and the repercussions of our decisions can be devastating. Why is it that people struggle to listen to each other? Why do we look the other way when things are wrong? Why are systems set up to maintain themselves at the expense of others? Would we listen if warned, or would we ignore the signs? The questions are daunting, and the film touches upon them with style.

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!
