    Its a good story if the technicalities don't make you throw up first.

    Being an astrophysics major, the first hour of this movie made me want to throw-up over the inaccuracies. Every scene involving a telescope was inaccurate for any modern observatory. ( Telescopes have been guided by computers for some time now, especially at observatories that get funding as the one depicted.) It gets better after that. and if you don't know a lick of science then it wont bother you anyway. The plot is pretty cheesy at times. (I don't think the FEMA director would really jump onto a burning building.) But it is a good story about human drama. I think they did an o.k. job portraying how people would react in a situation like this.

    If they got their info right, it might HAVE been good

    Boy, did they have their info wrong in this movie. I live in Kansas City, MO, and first of all, we don't have a downtown that looks like that. Second we have no dam. Third, this is a stupid movie. Although it had mediocre FX, it was still a bad movie. 3 out of 10.

    Don't even bother

    Part one was on the Sci-Fi channel last night, and I hope they don't bother to show part 2. This movie is *so* bad, the only reason I watched it was to see how much worse it would get. I wasn't disappointed. Terrible script, mediocre acting, implausible story line, inaccurate physics, this one has it all. I don't usually trash movies so harshly, but this one deserves it.

    hooray for cheesy action flicks!

    I'm not surprised that many people blasted this movie;

    some folks just seem to think that action flicks like this are

    supposed to be realistic. Sorry to disappoint, but they're

    supposed to be larger than life. You want life, watch a

    documentary.

    Michael Biehn is one of my favorite action stars and he

    doesn't get nearly the attention he should. Yes, there were

    some very bad actors and writing in parts of this one, but it

    was still a fun couple of hours. The TV version is way too

    long; the VHS version has been trimmed down and it's a

    good thing.

    I just saw this movie on video, i liked it, some poor acting in some scenes, but in all it was as good as "Armageddon", well Armageddon was more thrilling. vote it a 7.

    • Trivia
      Michael Biehn accepted the role of the main character on the grounds that the character be more fleshed out. He assisted in creating his character as a consultant.
    • Goofs
      The observatory is shown with astronomers working at lighted desks within the dome building. In reality, the heat from their bodies and extraneous light would ruin the view through the telescope, so observatories are generally operated remotely and certainly with no lights on!
    • Alternate versions
      The Live Home Entertainment VHS/DVD versions of "Asteroid" deletes sixty minutes of footage shown on the TV version.
