Meteorites! (1998)

"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!"

watching this movie. the budget must have been from bingo winnings.there are some cool effects, the actors all seem like they are waiting for the lunch truck. music would have helped on the non meteor shots.some of the actors were on TV shows that did not last a season or 2.you do get the sensation of wanting to change the channel but you flip back to see what is happening if you do.it will all be over soon so just enjoy watching if you are still awake.this movie looks like it should have came out in the fifties when "The Blob' and "I was a teenage werewolf" and "night of he living dead" those types of movies. nothing to it boss.

I thought I had seen some stupid movies in my time but this one is the champ! Does the writer of this piece of crap understand that the world turns? How could dozens of meteorites all land in the same place? And always just before the good guys are about to make it to safety? And how is it that everyone manages to survive all these close quarter explosions? Ever hear of the Tunguska Event? A single meteor the size of a volleyball would go off like a nuclear bomb and flatten everything for miles around.The mayor is a particularly stupid character. He has no coherent reasons for doing anything he does except that he has the personality of a 14 year old boy obsessed with oneupmanship.All in all a total stinker. The biggest mystery of all is how crap like this ever gets produced.

IMHO the acting was flat, the characters stereotypical, the dialogue cliche and the premise was contrived.I didn't understand why a comet that was leaving a trail of meteorites across America suddenly started using one small town for target practice.Some SciFi movies are bad enough to be good comedies, this isn't one of them.
