Meteor Assault

Funny that this kind of movie still exists. What do you do when you have a microscopical budget in comparison to big budget Hollywood flicks. You can try to stand out with an original story or approach, some experimental cinematography, a strong performance by a yet unknown actor,... Or you can try to copy Hollywood and make a movie that gives you small samples of a possibly ok CGI finale to a mediocre story portrayed by untalented actors filling the gaps with an overload of uninspired dialogue that results into a huge disappointment. Somehow this crap is still being made and thus being profitable.

Run of the mill disaster movie with a few of the hallmark stock players. Of course the blonde, Emilie Ullerup, is easy to look at and I'd marry her for a weekend any day of the week. Great figure. Oh those hallmark girls and lori laughlin is innocent. I could only hope a meteor would fall on DC AND TAKE CARE OF THIS COUNTRYS PROBLEMS LIKE IN THIS MOVIE. Of course the portrayal of the fbi sadsacks have proven true since 2015. The fed gov would give these goons orders to walk into the showers with promises of coffee and pastries waiting for them on the other side. Looks like this was filmed in early spring up in BC. I think that's late june.

From the cheesy dialogue to the complete lack of scientific accuracy, this movie is completely ridiculous in its ridiculousness. About the only thing mildly entertaining (and the only reason for 2 stars instead of 1) is the laughter at the mile-a-minute tearing apart of the inaccuracies one can do while watching. I'm a firm believer in willful suspension of disbelief to enjoy a work of fiction, but this movie challenges even that.

I don't know why the ratings for this movie are so low. It's honestly not a bad TV disaster movie. The graphics are actually quite good for a TV movie, despite other reviews. I mean what are you expecting? Big budget graphics? No way. But this movie does well. I've seen every disaster movie ever made and the CGI in this movie is far superior to most other TV disaster movies. Some were just laughable, but not here. The plot is a tad recycled, but a bit new. The acting was also good. I've seen bad acting, and this movie doesn't come close to bad acting. Great? No. Bad? No. Give it a try acting and decide for yourself. Anyone who likes disaster movies should appreciate it. Though I would have liked to see a bit more disaster scenes, I'm quite pleased with this movie.

There are good disaster movies far better than this one. Some familiar faces from Hallmark (Canadian) movies though. Most of the actors were overacting making it seem laughable at times, especially FBI agent Jenkins, who I think they were trying to make her come off as trying to look & be a JLo wanna be, was terrible!!

Save yourself and avoid this disaster...
