Who payed the critics

Sadly Over-hyped

Masterful Movie

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Hahah omg this is the worst sci fi I have ever wasted 2 hours watching. It was worse than gravity and I and 1000 others gave that goof joke movie a 1. First off all this one dude does is ride around on a motorcycle. That's it! Haha. And the people instead of hiding from a stupid little meteor they just stared in the sky. When the bridge collapsed people stayed in their cars and died on purpose. What a joke. This movie is being advertised on Xbox as free to watch on popcornflix which is a competitor to Netflix except there's a handful of commercials. I couldn't wait for it to be over so I could watch death wish on Netflix for the 8th time. The worst acting in a film in a while. Horrible story horrible filming. This one part the toolbag is riding his stupid motorcycle for the 35th time and they actually showed the background moving and his motorcycle stationary like they did in the 70s sitcoms. Hahah I laughed. These actors suck. He director sucks. The producer sucks. A high school drama club could of done a better job. Stay away from this movie on popcornflix Xbox app. Movie was stupid stupid stupid just like all the other reviews said.

All this guy Tom, run around the entire movie on his motorcycle. The movie should have been how to look stupid on a bike. Why was he not on the bridge when it collapse. The movie never got off the ground. Best part was end of the movie. Watching right now on science-fy or should at this moment sci- fry. Good leverage is on so don't have to watch this looser. This 10 line minimum is almost as bad as the movie!

Before any one watches this movie they have to understand that it is a SyFy production, which means no academy awards, modest budgets, and fictitious science used to explain what is happening.As a fan of the SyFy movies (mostly as they are the only regular source of science fiction on TV now days)I would have watched it regardless, but this film was a pleasant surprise.The cast was surprisingly good based on the type of film, all science fiction regulars led by Battlestar alum Michael Trucco, Invasion and Covert Affairs beauty Kari Mitchell, Kyle XYs Kirsten Prout and Smallville and Flash Gordon star Eric Johnson, all of whom are playing to their strengths (eg Johnson as a cocky, arrogant reporter). All performed well, though Trucco was a little stiff.A typical weakness in SyFy flicks are the CG effects. Fortunately, as the story really only called for meteors falling from the sky the cost would have been limited allowing for some generally decent effects. The first meteor storm was very well done.Another typical weakness of SyFy films is the script/ dialogue. While there are some cheesy lines 'That might explain the Bay Area's historically bad cell phone service', there are some good lines too, my favourite being when Michelle is being asked to go with the army person who says 'Say yes while I'm still asking, Michelle'.This is a decent flick for a wet Friday night. Certainly not a blockbuster, and there a holes in the plot and the science of the film, but if you can ignore them and just watch the movie as escapism and entertainment there are certainly worse films you could watch instead.

Of all the films I have seen of Syfy and on the Syfy channel, Meteor Storm is not one of the best, though I have yet to see a Syfy movie that I would deem good. But it is not as bad as Titanic II, Mega Piranha, Shark Attack and that Moby Dick movie they did. To be honest, Meteor Storm is nothing to rave about, but unlike the movies I have cited the acting while again not award-worthy was tolerable, particularly from Michael Trucco. The film is not visually stunning by any regard as the editing is rather slip-shod and the effects are largely inconsistent, but there are much cheaper productions out there. Despite these, there are a lot of things in this movie that I don't like about Syfy in general. A major problem is the plot, if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be nonsensical. The ideas put forward are somewhat imaginative and intriguing, but explained and executed ridiculously. The script is clichéd, illogical and just plain bad really, the characters are cardboard and I didn't really connect to them, the pace is uneven with a dull middle section and the less said about a vast majority of the direction the better. All in all, there have been worse, but this is not really something to savour on repeat viewings and such. 2/10 Bethany Cox
