I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
best movie i've ever seen.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
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.
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!
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.
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!
I guarantee you, just one hour of Meteorites! (they had to put an exclaimation mark in the title, didn't they) and you will fall asleep from boredom. I strongly believe that this mediocre meteor movie was filmed right here in Australia, as I can spot little Aussie things, like the packaging of chip cups and the fact that it is produced by Village Roadshow. Also, it stars Amiel Daemion, who is well known here for singing the hit song, "Addicted To Bass". In this film, she is flat and her acting range is limited. As for the plot, can you say "rip-off"? The special effects aren't that bad, but the film is so boring that you'll fall asleep before anything happens. And somebody call the props department, the Indian guy is supposed to have his leg trapped, but the block holding it down shakes around a little and lifts up when he moves. Please let this be the last TV produced disaster movie, before I saw this I thought "Volcano: Fire on The Mountain" was bad.AUSTRALIAN CLASSIFICATION:PG Medium Level Violence, Sexual ReferencesSome diaster violence where you don't really see any impact occurs, as does some teenage sexual antics.
