alkudsi I'm grateful to the question board for reminding me of the correct title for this movie. I've seen it several times (probably on SyFy Channel), and it was a lot more memorable than some of their other disaster movies. Why? I remembered it well enough to describe the plot so that someone recognized it. I thought there was some interesting chemistry between the husband and wife characters (Tom Wopat and Roxanne Hart). Was it believable? As much as any other meteor movie (and more than some). Would I pay to see it in the theater? No, obviously not. (Of course, I didn't pay to see Tommy Lee Jones in Volcano, either.) Was the science decent? Actually, pretty good.The plot was pretty good, with some nice teen-aged angst thrown in. It did have some interesting plot twists. Great for a late night mind relaxer.Like others, I got duped into the 2-tape package said to contain it on Amazon, and which did NOT contain the movie. I wouldn't mind finding a reasonably priced copy of it for my collection of disaster movies, though!
MrVibrating I have an uncle who works at a large newspaper. By having that job, he and his colleagues are entitled free movies that the movie reviewers are done with. Unfortunately, my uncle is not high up in the "free movie giveaway"-chain.As a result, our summer cottage is filled to the brim with crappy movies, such as "The adventures of Captain Zoom" and "Ivory Hunters". At first, I couldn't find Meteorites here on IMDb(Gasp!) but today I stumbled upon it. Oh bliss!The basic plot of this movie is this: A small town in Arizona gets bombed by meteorites. Although the rest of the world is affected too, we never get to see any of it.The characters are all hate-able, and I found myself wanting them to get killed. There are the usual elements; stupid authorities not listening to the sole guy who has a clue, stupid teenagers doing illogical and stupid things, stupid and annoying people not dying.The movie is so boring, I'm surprised I managed to watch it. Anyhow, nothing special is done to stop the meteorite shower, people just hide in a cave, and then it's all over. Bleh. The final scene is the worst. The happy core family(I can't remember if they had a dog or not) are gathered outside their new house. Suddenly, the see something in the sky! A final meteorite to wipe them out? Of course not. It's just an airplane, and they laugh happily. I hate this movie.
sitar5 I cannot get over how incredibly voluptuous and bodacious of a female Amiel Daemion is... I mean... WOW!!! It is worth watching this movie just to see HER alone!As for the rest of this movie, well... it seemed like your typical sci-fi B-movie... complete with semi-realistic explosions (like the van), and a fairly predictable plot.I could go on to talk about the whole illogical premise of having a stream of meteorites hitting only ONE small area of the world... constantly... despite the earth's rotation, all the meteorites hit only ONE place!!! How much more do you need to have a B-movie? How about having Tom Wopat (from Dukes of Hazard TV series) as your main character? Yeah, that will upgrade things to A-movie rank... NOT!!!However, I do have something good to point out about the movie... The musical score is really good... at least, it seems to fit very well with the movie. Though, not good enough to save it from going in my B-movie archive.But when all is said and done, the mere appearance of the bodacious Amiel Daemion in the movie entirely makes up for the rest of the movie (at least, to me it does:) to make it... well... maybe a "B+ movie".
dazduke01 There were reports of meteorite strikes all over the country. As the emergency services were over-stretched dealing with meteorite strikes in the big cities the towns have to look after themselves. If you adored Armageddon or dug Deep Impact then you'll love Meteorites!
