ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Derek Charette This movie is an example of why I stopped watching movies altogether for over 3 years. Lately I have had a lot of spare time, so I have gotten back into movies again. The problem with most movies, is that they are excruciatingly dumbed-down to a 6th grade level of comprehension. After taking a few years away from movies, it has become crystal clear how dumbed-down movies truly are. This movie is an example because of the terrible, over dramatized acting, stupid decisions by the characters, predictable story line, and predictable everything for that matter. Bad movies (most movies) require either the characters to make extraordinarily blind and ignorant decisions, or predictable, over the top or completely unrealistic events in order to create conflict and move the plot forward. These factors then greatly effect the continuity and realism of a movie. If I wanted to watch a bunch of nonsense, I would watch cartoons instead! For example, in the movie, as the characters are driving to the North Pole (Yes, the North Pole), the outdoor temperature is so hot that it is blowing vehicles up.. however, while they are traveling, sweating like beasts in 130ish degree heat, and their truck explodes (after they escaped with only a second to spare - ridiculously predictable), the characters are almost all wearing layers of LONG SLEEVED shirts, pants, and one is even wearing a hoodie JACKET. Now somebody PLEASE tell me, how or WHO in the right mind, while directing or producing this film, had the bright idea to have the characters wear long sleeve shirts, pants and jackets in the sweltering heat??? Any person with half a brain would know that if this situation was occurring in real life, people would be wearing the least amount of clothing possible, but not sweaters and jackets!! This is only one example. Judging by the sheer ignorance that produces most films these days, I honestly believe that even myself would be able to produce and direct a movie that would easily blow at least 2/3 of all movies out of the water.

Tayrick Being a fan of sci-fi films, I was initially attracted by the title, but as it appeared this was going to be yet another near-disaster movie of the "asteroid/comet/meteor about to hit the earth and wipe out humanity, but Hooray! America will save the world" genre which has been done so many times before, I nearly didn't bother to continue watching, and with hindsight I'm sorry I did. However, what did sway me was the unusual premise that the asteroid's gravitational effect as it narrowly missed the earth pulled our planet nearer to the sun. (It wasn't clear whether Earth was continuing to approach the sun or whether it was simply in a stable new orbit, but maybe I was losing concentration if that was stated.) However, while raging fires are sweeping across the globe and two rival groups of characters (the goodies and the baddies) are desperately trying to get to a plane to fly them to the Arctic, the possibility is aired that the gravitational force of the other planets might pull the earth back into its proper orbit, and the sign that this has happened would be that rain would once again start to fall. So when the rival factions get to the airport and learn that the plane - their last hope of survival - has crashed, a battle takes place and surprise, surprise - the goodies win. But just as our heroes seem doomed to burn up anyway, Hey presto! Down comes the rain! Gosh - those planets worked pretty fast to get the earth back in place in such un-cosmic haste! My advice is: don't waste an hour and a half watching this!

Theo Robertson From the opening sequence I thought I had MELTDOWN nailed as a cross genre film which mixes DEEP IMPACT with a cop thriller . This seemed a strange idea , but that's not how the plot unravels . Apparently the near miss with the asteroid causes the Earth to spin off its axis which leads to the world's temperature rising , rising and rising . So we've got a plot featuring something similar to the novels of Wyndham and John Christopher where a group of people have to find sanctuary or else they'll join most of the world's population in dying a slow terrible death I can't say MELTDOWN is a great apocalypse movie but since it's a direct to video/DVD film therefore lacking a big budget it's a relatively good meaningless time waster . My only real problem is a line of dialogue spouted by the scientist character in the sewer which happens half way the running time which will you leave you gasping " oh dear I think they've given away the ending ! "

Michael O'Keefe MELTDOWN is pretty interesting SCI-FI. No major budget, very few special effects; but decent acting and a storyline of global doom is enough to sustain viewing. An asteroid grazes the atmosphere and thrust the Earth into an orbit closer to the sun. Global warming rapidly becomes unbearable. A determined LAPD cop(Casper Van Dien)goes all out to save the world from certain annihilation as the rising temps are devastating. The pressure is on to save mankind from this solar catastrophe; as well as protect his daughter, nurse ex-wife and TV reporter girlfriend. The cast includes: Stefanie Von Pfetten, Venus Terzo, Amanda Crew and Vincent Gale.
