Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Micransix Crappy film

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Leofwine_draca Yeah, this one's worse than even the SyFy Channel productions or the various Asylum movies. It's a homage of sorts to the big budget blockbuster flicks like DEEP IMPACT and Armageddon, except that it's made on a tiny budget which means the titular meteorites are horrid CGI monstrosities. Even worse, the narrative unwisely takes a jokey, comic approach to the material which falls flat from the very beginning.I mean, there's nothing very funny about meteorites, so the film has to rely on groan-introducing character humour to work. This is a film where we're asked to identify with and like a cast of various oddballs, including dedicated heroes and annoying teenagers, and journey with them as they fight against the outer space menace. Except you won't, because the script is dire, the acting worse, and you'll be wishing death upon everyone in the cast before long. I think it's true to say that METEORITES! is probably the worst disaster movie you'll see.

jfatty "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!"

hotbuddy43 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.

Torgo_Approves Bland, unexciting sci-fi thriller that spawned from my beloved uncle's wardrobe of horrible movies he got for free from work. A small American city is threatened by a huge storm of meteorites. Less people die from the actual meteor shower than from their own severe incompetence and ability to screw everything up.Obviously the movie's budget was too low to film any scenes of asteroid carnage, so instead the film trails off from the main subject of mass destruction and focuses on the lives and times of our ugly main characters, a couple of thieves, and the upcoming redneck festival...(wtf?) What we're left with is one final scene where all the good guys hide in a cave while the space rocks rain down outside. With no casualties at all. That's how bland this movie is.The funniest scene occurs during the end. Panic has broken out in the streets and we find our hero, the typical American Dad, trapped in his own hospital with electrified water covering the floor. American Dad's screw-up assistant #1 tries to jump from a table to the window despite screw-up assistant #2's cries in protest, which results in a major electrocution which somehow transforms screw-up assistant #1 into a pair of smoking shoes.Worth a couple of laughs but much too stupid and uninteresting for its own good. Watch only if you have too much time on your hands (like, if you're trapped in a cave for six hours). Otherwise, avoid at all costs.(r#13)
