Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Beautiful, moving film.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This movie/TV Series? is really bad. The effects are terrible, really bad. The asteroid looks to "computer generated" (yes, we all know it is, but it looks really bad), the explosions we can see clearly the buildings are miniatures, like when the flood happens. The lasers used are just to freaking bad looking. Well, i didn't know this movie was made in 1997 so i guess it explains why the effects are terrible. But, there are so many movies in that date which effects are good like Independence Day. Now, other bad point: the actors. Most of them don't know how to act. Take for example the little kid: so ANNOYING. In the scene were his grandpa gets stuck he reacts normal and simply goes away to a point he wants a chocolate bar more them rescuing grandpa. His mother on the movie is also terrible. Her lines are to chezzy and she doesn't show emotions at all. In my point of view, if her son was killed she wouldn't react. For example, when her son is falling in the asteroid crater she goes saying "Hey. Hold on, OK?" I mean hes about to DIE for gods sake... Overall, its a bad movie. I give it 3/10 and not zero because some actors were good actually.

While I won't give this a 10 it was a TV mini-series and as those go this one was pretty good. Now I understand other reviewers reservations and exclamations on this mini but it's a guilty pleasure how else could I have seen it so many times. I may just buy it on DVD. For a television production every aspect is average special effects, acting, script but from that same perspective for a SCI-FI DISASTER THRILLER ITS GREAT. I have seen worse don't make me name them. You have to be your own judge. Michael Beihn & Anabella Sciorra are decent in the film most of the other actors you have seen on various TV series or TV movies, Bradford May who directed is competent and has a long history of directing for b movies and a multitude of TV shows.

This made-for-TV movie was slightly better than average. The variety of locations, story lines, visual effects and characters were 'ok'. Nothing made the 2-part movie particularly suspenseful or interesting, but the constantly moving pace kept if from degenerating into boredom.The movie is about two asteroids that are on a collision course for earth. A big problem is that there's not enough time to do very much to eliminate the threat. Part 1 of the movie deals with this situation. Part 2 deals with the negative aftermath of the what happens in the US.As mentioned, the saving grace of this movie is that there's a lot of action, visual effects and scale. It's not quite enough to make it a good movie, but it keeps it afloat.While this movie is innocent enough for any age group to watch, I don't really recommend seeing it because it's 4 hours (with commercials) of a forgettable story.

I have never saw a more pathetic movie. The acting was terrible. They womans child was the most annoying actor I have ever heard or seen. I could go on and on about complaining about him but I ain't like him. Also, the FX were cack. The big white writing saying where they are that takes up the bottom portion of the screen. Something like the x-files would have been a much better choice. I know it's really hard to mix water, a full scale prop with minatures because you can see the difference but if they used bigatures it would look so terrible. Badly shot. Not worth looking at. If ya want to see a good disaster movie see Armegeddon or however ya spell it. It was too much of a soap opear. It should have ended long long before it did after the asteroid struck not nearly 45 mins later.
