Boring, long, and too preachy.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Do not watch this mini series. Ever. Everything all of the other reviewers have said is true. I wish I read reviews before watching it. This was so bad I find it hard to believe some of these "stars" even agreed to be in it. It's like they all got together for beer and pizza the night before shooting started and someone said, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if we all did a terrible job on this film?" And everyone else thought, why yes, yes it would be funny. So they did it. It is bad. Just bad.

I kinda like this movie. I think it's worth watching at least once. The premise is good and most of the acting is enjoyable, but it feels like they tried to shove way too many plot lines into this production. Spoiler alert If they had just tried showing the girl trying to get the information to the military (although with a few less deaths) It would've been a good movie. If they had just showed the cop trying to rescue his daughter and stop his ex-partner while dodging debris, that would've been a good movie. If they had showed the doctor and her family trying to survive that would've been a good movie. If they had showed the sheriff and the town, that would've been a good movie. Joining the Doctor and the sheriff would've been good. Joining the girl and the cop story lines, it would've been a good movie. Well, actually it would have been a better movie. But with all of them shoved in there together it was too much going on to easily follow. I also think they over did what the girl had to go through and what the bad cop was able to do.This is a movie to watch if you just want noise while you're doing other things, just for the entertainment but don't try to take it too seriously. Asteroid (with Michael Biehn) was a much better mini-series covering the same basic story. This movie is one I will watch again just because I like it, unless Asteroid is on at the same time.

My wife and I watched this two-part miniseries on DVD while recovering from post-Mardi Gras parade hangovers. Headaches notwithstanding, "Meteor" is the worst movie I've seen ever -- bar none. The only thing separating this movie from farce was that it wasn't written as a comedy. It was intended as a straight action/adventure flick.There is really no good starting point for the criticism of this movie. It was so bad I laughed out loud at several of the high-drama points. It was as if writer Alex Greenfield intentionally packed the story with every cliché, stock character, and stereotype he could find. It was clear he did no research and had no working knowledge of law enforcement, the military, or science, the three main subjects integral to the plot.The characters' decisions are the dumbest possible. The use of coincidence was ridiculous. And the near-miraculous tying together of the disparate subplots was idiotic.Although not by design, this movie truly was the theater of the absurd.I can't stress enough how bad it was. The writing made an episode of Seinfeld seem like MacBeth.Unless you are a writer and like to study the mistakes of other writers in hopes of learning from them, as I am, then your time would be better spent watching the grass grow than watching this movie.I thought I had seen bad movies before, but "Meteor" set a new standard.Chuck Hustmyre

A cast of (good) actors know to most of us I would guess who inexplicably participated in this major flop.Don't waste your time on this one it is simply worth missing all together as there are not memorable moments or significant scenes to impress anyone.There is too much focus on various people trying their best to push out various emotions, dragging out the movie to a completely unnecessary length. Unrealistic brick walls are constantly being hit at a frequency that defies belief and ends up ruining the entire plot.Very sad production for this producer/director!
