Meteorites! (1998)

the audience applauded

Best movie ever!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Contains Spoilers I watched this on the internet. If you're looking for scientific facts then you're out of luck. This movie stretches the imagination in the science department. The premise of meteorites striking a small mid-western town and striking fear in the hearts of the town-folk, including the tourists who have come for the UFO festival is a good one, IMO. But really, the same small town getting struck repeatedly for 24 hours? I actually cheered when the 'reporter' got hit and all that was left were his smoking shoes. I was hoping that would happen to the mayor too, but he survived. Sub-plots aplenty including teenagers in love, the hero trying to get over his past, the mayor with his financial problems. All in all it wasn't a bad 90 minutes, could have been worse. If you want to watch it, just remember to leave ALL your science knowledge behind because this is just 90 minutes of entertainment, not school.

Wow, this was stupid... And I even like stupid disaster movies!There is absolutely nothing to praise in this film whatsoever. The cast is horrible (especially the lead actors), the screenplay is ridiculous and seems to have been written by a 5-year old, the camera is bad, and even the special f/x are horrible. And then the dialooooguuueeess. They should be cast in stone for posterity, since it is not possible to stuff any more stupidity into 90 minutes of film than what was achieved here.Unfortunately they claim one has to fill in at least 10 lines of text in order to post a review here, but there is nothing worth 10 lines of text in this film! What a waste of time and money!

Hokey, and if ever there was a B - movie this one would not make the grade.Why Tom Wopat would make this thing is hard to understand unless he needed to make a car payment because I doubt if they paid him enough to make two payments. The special effects look like they came out of a used car garage instead of a graphics production company. And the writing, if there was ever some pretense that a kindergardener could write a movie script this would be it. How this movie could make it onto any broadcast pay movie channels is hard to believe unless it was in a package distribution deal otherwise it should only be available from a 99 cent backwoods general store video rack.

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)
