if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There is some good talent here in Meteor, but how this mini-series wasted it was unforgivable. The best and only good thing about it is Christopher Lloyd, more subdued than usual but still makes a conscientious effort, and he's only in it for an hour, maybe that he realised that it was so bad and refused to be part of it. Other talented actors like Jason Alexander and Ernie Hudson also don't have very much to do, they try hard but can't do anything with their material. The rest of the actors are just terrible, Michael Rooker is just embarrassing to watch. It is just sad that the big-names, who actually show talent, have little to do and those who show nowhere near as much talent are given more though that's saying little. Because the characters are cardboard cut-out, made to act interminably obnoxious, and they are very underdeveloped and entirely unsympathetic to the viewer, for a mini-series of this length that is just as inexcusable as wasting the big-names. And the dialogue is vomit-inducing and idiotic with all the characters spouting annoyingly stale clichés, to the extent also of making us feel stupid. The story just rambles on and on, the disaster itself is over-dramatised and there are subplots that take far too long to get going or resolve. What's worse is that most of them are completely irrelevant and just feel like padding, while there is nothing tense, thrilling, suspenseful or even engaging about the story. At best the science is questionable, it felt like the writers were making it on the spot with the audience just feeling perplexed, and the ending is one that you can smell a mile off, that's how predictable it is. The music is basically made up of four different themes and moods and is incredibly repetitive, even worse they are introduced randomly and with no regard of the mood of the scene or what had happened before. While visually and directorially the mini-series is the very meaning of amateurish, there's literally been better effects on the worst of Power Rangers and Disney teen movies/shows, there's nothing interesting, subtle or distinctive about the photography, and the overall look of it is depressingly drab. All in all, absolutely terrible in all senses, committing the sins of wasting any talent there is and not developing characters or dialogue over the length. If it wasn't for Lloyd there would have been no redeeming features. 1/10 Bethany Cox

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.

A cast of (good) actors know to most of us I would guess who inexplicably participated in this major flop.Don't waste your time on this one it is simply worth missing all together as there are not memorable moments or significant scenes to impress anyone.There is too much focus on various people trying their best to push out various emotions, dragging out the movie to a completely unnecessary length. Unrealistic brick walls are constantly being hit at a frequency that defies belief and ends up ruining the entire plot.Very sad production for this producer/director!
