Meteor

I am a big fan of disaster movies, and thus, I don't spend a lot of time worrying about the 'facts'. As far as I'm concerned ALL disasters movies are full of inaccuracies.

When I view disasters movies I get to a point where I just watch for the story line. This is one of those movies.

It's not the worst disaster movie I've ever watched and I would actually watch this again if I was bored.

I would have liked seeing a lot more of the carnage wreaked upon the various cities though. I'm just a sucker for watching the Eiffel Tower fall I guess, which usually happens in movies of this type, although I don't recall it happening here specifically.

This movie spent a lot of time focusing on a couple different story lines about various people, and I guess that was OK.

Not the best disaster movie, but not the worst. As long as you aren't a nitpicker.

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.

Hard to believe this POS was made this millennia. Worst thing I've ever seen with good actors. Not even the kind of bad that's worth watching- just bad.

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.

Since the early seventies when the disasters movies were in his apogee of the popularity of this genre and even declining on the end of decade, however it never leaves properly speaking, now a newest Meteor comes toward the Earth, meanwhile when the whole scientific community together with the US Army worried how to stop this menace from the sky, the stupid producers introduce a sub plot about a policemen who gonna crazy and he is ready for a bloody vengeance, if it were enough the main scientist died knocked by a car at Mexico territory, lost at middle of nowhere his assistant has to take on his lap-top with the last mathematical calculation over the Cassandra, the special effects were palatable, although has many technical inconsistencies, obtuse plot and worst screenplay, you don't know if cry or laugh, the B-casting were appropriate for this flop, just an advise, avoid !!!
