Meteor Apocalypse

This film is so bad I had to watch it all the way through, the effects, I have avoided the word special on purpose, are hilarious, there will never be enough hours in the day to describe how bad this film is. The leading lady idea of acting was to pant more when she was out of breadth. Loosing a few pounds of her hips would not have done any damage. As for the leading man, he would be wise to seek work as a stunt double for Daniel Craig. The cheapness of the sets are beyond belief, most of the central part of the film appear to have been shot over a weekend on a disused factory lot. The bit at the end when the hero is looking for his family and the mountain off screen is "attacked" by the meteors is really funny I won't mention the ending but it's so bad it's good and what happened to his traveling companion. Priceless.

Strange how there are so many really bad disaster movies around. "Meteor Apocalypse" ranks right up there with the bad ones.

Initially, I had no expectations to the movie, and rightly so, otherwise I would be sorely disappointed.

The story of this movie is ridiculous and often incoherent. There are so many things and scenes that does not make sense and just makes go "alrighty then..." I am sure the director meant well enough with his movie, but it just didn't come together as a greater unity. "Meteor Apocalypse" was doomed right from the very first minute, already there it was incoherent and downright stupid.

The CGI effects in "Meteor Apocalypse" are bad, though not the worst I have seen, so that got to count for some, at least.

Some might find it enjoyable if you got nothing better to do, and just want some mindless way to pass an hour and a half. Expect nothing from this movie, and disable your brain if you are going to watch this movie.

The plus in this movie is that not all of the acting is all that crappy.

Sad that so many disaster movies are well-intended, but fail to deliver.

Streaking through space at immense speed, extra-terrestrial rocks seem to have it in for famous landmarks. First they head to Nevada to attack Vegas and nearby Lake Mead. Other famous sites all over the world soon get smashed as well. In between, meteorites zero in on cars and zap them just for fun.

The cast were fine; it's just that this disaster movie's writer seems to think that meteors target objects on the ground like birds of prey would do. Visually interesting, but about as likely as four poker players all being dealt royal flushes on the same hand in an honest game. The meteors shower down after (insert routine plot device here), and it makes the water icky, so carry lots of bottles water. It makes you get sick, especially when you're running around in the desert. Oh, what in blazes was up with the dune buggy chase? It looked like one of those old go-cart racetrack joints you go to when you're 12 years old. Also, it made no sense at all.

Not to be taken seriously, but entertaining in its silly exaggerations. Be advised to remove your cranium and store it in bottled water while watching.

The Asylum put this piece of space junk on film, and as usual for The Asylum it's a real piece of trash: an almost worthless would-be disaster flick, chock full of cheesy acting and cheesier special effects. The storyline sees a gigantic meteor heading towards Earth: boffins decide to try to blow it up, but all they succeed in doing is making tons of meteorites hit the Earth and blow up various places.

What this all boils down to is the usual rugged hero and his pretty sidekick attempting to outwit and evade human villains alongside the killer meteorites, which seem to have some kind of homing ability in the way that they're constantly chasing after our heroes. If you've seen one CGI meteorite strike you've seen them all, so after about ten minutes this film becomes boring in the extreme. Claudia Christian (THE HIDDEN) appears in a minor role.

Avoid this film at all costs. It is unbelievably awful. I rented it thinking it would just be some mediocre sci-fi flick to watch late one night when I was bored, but I was very wrong. It's not just bad. It's horrendously awful. I never finished it and probably won't. An unwatchable bore with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bad writing, bad acting, bad directing, bad, bad, bad. Did I leave anything out? I get the feeling that there is some sort of religious theme lying in wait, but I did not actually wait to find out. I only took the time to review it here to save any unsuspecting viewers from wasting their time or money on it. Guess I'm an altruist of sorts.
