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.

"Meteor" is a mini-series which contains two episodes, around 90 minutes per episode. It has been released on Scandinavian DVD, rated 15 in Norway.Basic plot: A giant meteor is on the way to Earth. Dr. Lehman (played by Christopher Lloyd) is the only one who can prevent the destruction to happen, but gets killed by a car. So it's up to his younger assistant Imogene O'Neill (played by the unconvincing Marla Sokoloff) to prevent this to happen. The event with several small meteors which hit some of the Earth's cities is just nothing compared to what awaits the world's humanity.This is my story about this film. It might drags on, but I honestly wanted to share this story to you readers anyway:I was asked by my big sister (who owns a DVD-copy) if I wanted to watch this with my family, and I simply said "no thanks". I didn't tell her why, but even the DVD-box didn't made me interested in this film at all. So my mom came to me minutes afterward to ask me why I didn't want to watch this. OK, OK, I just had to watch it then...My instinct of this film was right; this was one God awful mini-series. I just so forgot nearly all of the content in this. To be honest, I didn't pay attention to this at once. I only know of the special effects so hilarious bad, that I just wanted to laugh to it. And please don't get me into the stupid clichés crammed into this long crap. I mean, if I really watched this, I would guaranteed have gotten traumas of such bad film. This literally was a disaster film. Actually, I didn't said one single word about this.Thank you, my family, for wasting my three hours by making me to watch this.So here's my conclusion: Watch "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" instead. This one is an INSTANT AVOID!!! End of story. Period.

When an asteroid collides on a huge meteor changing its trajectory to Earth, our planet is doomed for destruction."Meteor" is one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. The awful and corny story is a crap and the characters are ridiculous, with imbecile scientists, stupid military responsible for the missiles, Michael Rooker performing his usual stereotype and last but not the least, the genius Imogene O'Neil. There is also political crap.This unbearable film was released in Brazil in an edited DVD with 109 minutes running time and it was painful to watch; imagine the 240 minutes version. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Meteoro - O Futuro Está em Jogo" ("Meteor - The Future is at Stake")

One of the worst TV films ever!! First off the acting is very, very poor and the best actor in it (Christopher Lloyd) is killed off in the first hour, so the world is left in the hands of a 20 something year old nervous wreck of an assistant which is just not convincing.Secondly there are side story's happening that are also unconvincing such as the hospital blowing up and leaving the main doctor and her son trapped in different parts of it, which takes her 3 hours to realize there is a vent though to the next room.Thirdly there are so many cringe worthy moments in it such as shooting down Meteor's with missiles and the communications dropping out at vital moments.I could go on and on but bottom line do not watch this piece of crap.
