Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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!

"I will never view the sky the same way again" "Riveting" "A Classic" A 'B' movie that really deserves a B rating for bad, which means good in my book.Normally a bad B Movie needs girls in bikinis screaming to keep your attention. This one is so bad/good, that you will wait for the commercial, not wanting to miss a bad moment to go to the bathroom. Its that good/bad.Each bad line will keep you "riveted" to the screen laughing aloud. Its as if it was written up the night before, or better yet, made up as they were filming, in true B movie fashion.It has my coveted "Classic" status because of the ridiculous concept of meteorites scaring the town, Jaws-like fear of the town Elders afraid of the UFO festival being called off, and equally bad reactions to every situation.They spent way too much section: UFO-ologists costumes were more interesting than the meteorites special effects. A obvious Mis-Direction of films $275 budget for special effects.Favorite scene: Miss UFO being raised above the stage in a "Flying Saucer" while the stage catches fire from a direct meteor hit. (What would be the odds of that happening?!) First cheered by the audience and now being slow roasted by the fire. Doesn't get any better than that.Favorite line: Bad guy to the corrupt mayor. "If I go down,(say it with me) you're going down with me" I hope I didn't build the expectations to high for you. Just sit back to enjoy each scene as it unfolds. There is real genius in the simplicity of this wonderfully made B Movie.You have my guarantee,"Chicken Littles" of the movie goers. You will never view the sky the same way again after seeing "Meteorites!"

Tom Wopat and a grade-Z cast in a 1950s-style flick about meteorites hitting a small Arizona town. My favorite parts: Tom's daughter has just been crowned 'Miss Universe' during the town's UFO Festival ...and she's hoisted up in a cheesy UFO (by a crane) above the adoring townsfolk just as the rocks start crashing ...imagine sitting there, trying to look glam in your tiara, when everyone beneath you is getting bombed; then there's the obnoxious fellow (who you know just HAS to die) who is hit head-on by a small meteorite but his smoking boots are left standing. Oh the agony of it all -- both for the town and the viewer! If you taped it, this is a movie best watched in fast-forward mode.
