    Mediocre-ites!

    Bland, unexciting sci-fi thriller that spawned from my beloved uncle's wardrobe of horrible movies he got for free from work. A small American city is threatened by a huge storm of meteorites. Less people die from the actual meteor shower than from their own severe incompetence and ability to screw everything up.

    Obviously the movie's budget was too low to film any scenes of asteroid carnage, so instead the film trails off from the main subject of mass destruction and focuses on the lives and times of our ugly main characters, a couple of thieves, and the upcoming redneck festival...(wtf?) What we're left with is one final scene where all the good guys hide in a cave while the space rocks rain down outside. With no casualties at all. That's how bland this movie is.

    The funniest scene occurs during the end. Panic has broken out in the streets and we find our hero, the typical American Dad, trapped in his own hospital with electrified water covering the floor. American Dad's screw-up assistant #1 tries to jump from a table to the window despite screw-up assistant #2's cries in protest, which results in a major electrocution which somehow transforms screw-up assistant #1 into a pair of smoking shoes.

    Worth a couple of laughs but much too stupid and uninteresting for its own good. Watch only if you have too much time on your hands (like, if you're trapped in a cave for six hours). Otherwise, avoid at all costs.(r#13)

    Stop the celebration and run for shelter.

    Nothing outstanding or out of the ordinary about this TV movie. A small Arizona town is celebrating its annual UFO Festival, when Mother Nature provides a fiery display. Comets collide in space shooting meteorites toward earth. My favorite line in the whole movie is, "I treated that truck better than my ex-wife". The effects are pretty low tech. And the acting is predictable and flat. Cast members include:Tom Wopat, Roxanne Hart, Abby Meares and Mark Murphy.

    i fell asleep...

    watching this movie. the budget must have been from bingo winnings.there are some cool effects, the actors all seem like they are waiting for the lunch truck. music would have helped on the non meteor shots.some of the actors were on TV shows that did not last a season or 2.you do get the sensation of wanting to change the channel but you flip back to see what is happening if you do.it will all be over soon so just enjoy watching if you are still awake.this movie looks like it should have came out in the fifties when "The Blob' and "I was a teenage werewolf" and "night of he living dead" those types of movies. nothing to it boss.

    Ugh.

    I guarantee you, just one hour of Meteorites! (they had to put an exclaimation mark in the title, didn't they) and you will fall asleep from boredom. I strongly believe that this mediocre meteor movie was filmed right here in Australia, as I can spot little Aussie things, like the packaging of chip cups and the fact that it is produced by Village Roadshow. Also, it stars Amiel Daemion, who is well known here for singing the hit song, "Addicted To Bass". In this film, she is flat and her acting range is limited. As for the plot, can you say "rip-off"? The special effects aren't that bad, but the film is so boring that you'll fall asleep before anything happens. And somebody call the props department, the Indian guy is supposed to have his leg trapped, but the block holding it down shakes around a little and lifts up when he moves. Please let this be the last TV produced disaster movie, before I saw this I thought "Volcano: Fire on The Mountain" was bad.

    AUSTRALIAN CLASSIFICATION:

    PG Medium Level Violence, Sexual References

    Some diaster violence where you don't really see any impact occurs, as does some teenage sexual antics.

    A little too predictable

    IMHO the acting was flat, the characters stereotypical, the dialogue cliche and the premise was contrived.

    I didn't understand why a comet that was leaving a trail of meteorites across America suddenly started using one small town for target practice.

    Some SciFi movies are bad enough to be good comedies, this isn't one of them.
