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.

This is teeth-numbingly, mind-bendingly, I'd-rather-do-a-gym-workout while sitting-on-a-cheese-grater-all-day than-continue-watching-this-after-20-minutes bad. Don't get me wrong - I LIKE bad TV... But this is only about the 5th show, of I'll-guess-at-40,000 TV shows I've seen in my lifetime, that I've HAD TO turn off mid-way through, it's THAT awful. There's no acting, no storyline, no character development - just knee-jerk reactions of the cast to the script, apparently written on the back of an envelope while the writer was watching all the other meteor movies he could rent for ideas, squeezed into a half-price video store rental weekend. A BIG, BIG waste of time.

I don't understand how so many proved actors could be associated with such an amateurish, embarrassingly bad show. I mean, this is "pre-Film School" amateur, not even "I graduated with a C-average from Film School" bad.

Really, how did Christopher Loyd, Billy Campbell, Jason Alexander, and Ernie Hudson get roped into this? Did they read the script? Did they miss the part that said, "Car runs out of gas. Smoke pours out of the engine."

It also occurred to me that one of the biggest downfalls of these cheesy mini-series is the music. I counted at one point, in a 30-second clip, they changed the music 4 times for painfully obvious cues: perky music for the teenager--cut to: hopeful music for the family--cut to: dark music for the meteors hurtling to earth--cut to: suspenseful music for the frustrated scientist. A touch of subtlety would do wonders for these horrific productions.

I thought the "Impact" mini-series was bad, but boy, this one made that look like pretentious art.

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.
