Streaking through space at immense speed, extra-terrestrial rocks seem to have it in for famous landmarks. First they head to Nevada to attack Vegas and nearby Lake Mead. Other famous sites all over the world soon get smashed as well. In between, meteorites zero in on cars and zap them just for fun.

The cast were fine; it's just that this disaster movie's writer seems to think that meteors target objects on the ground like birds of prey would do. Visually interesting, but about as likely as four poker players all being dealt royal flushes on the same hand in an honest game. The meteors shower down after (insert routine plot device here), and it makes the water icky, so carry lots of bottles water. It makes you get sick, especially when you're running around in the desert. Oh, what in blazes was up with the dune buggy chase? It looked like one of those old go-cart racetrack joints you go to when you're 12 years old. Also, it made no sense at all.

Not to be taken seriously, but entertaining in its silly exaggerations. Be advised to remove your cranium and store it in bottled water while watching.

Strange how there are so many really bad disaster movies around. "Meteor Apocalypse" ranks right up there with the bad ones.

Initially, I had no expectations to the movie, and rightly so, otherwise I would be sorely disappointed.

The story of this movie is ridiculous and often incoherent. There are so many things and scenes that does not make sense and just makes go "alrighty then..." I am sure the director meant well enough with his movie, but it just didn't come together as a greater unity. "Meteor Apocalypse" was doomed right from the very first minute, already there it was incoherent and downright stupid.

The CGI effects in "Meteor Apocalypse" are bad, though not the worst I have seen, so that got to count for some, at least.

Some might find it enjoyable if you got nothing better to do, and just want some mindless way to pass an hour and a half. Expect nothing from this movie, and disable your brain if you are going to watch this movie.

The plus in this movie is that not all of the acting is all that crappy.

Sad that so many disaster movies are well-intended, but fail to deliver.

Avoid this film at all costs. It is unbelievably awful. I rented it thinking it would just be some mediocre sci-fi flick to watch late one night when I was bored, but I was very wrong. It's not just bad. It's horrendously awful. I never finished it and probably won't. An unwatchable bore with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bad writing, bad acting, bad directing, bad, bad, bad. Did I leave anything out? I get the feeling that there is some sort of religious theme lying in wait, but I did not actually wait to find out. I only took the time to review it here to save any unsuspecting viewers from wasting their time or money on it. Guess I'm an altruist of sorts.

My uncle and I watched the film and I liked it a lot more than he did. I felt it merited a 3 because....well....I've seen worse. He felt a 2 was being generous. Either way, these are not glowing endorsements.

The film begins with all the countries of the Earth launching their nukes into space at an oncoming meteor. However, the explosion only fragments it into many still big meteors that are STILL on a collision course with the planet. Oops. Now so far, this isn't a bad idea for a film. BUT, what happens next makes zero sense--when one of the meteors hits Lake Meade, it infects the water supply and people drinking it go into convulsions and die! Most of the rest of the film consists of a man trying to find his way back to his family from which he was separated. Unfortunately, most of his adventures are pretty dull. Not wretched...but not good.

Oddly, when I saw this listed on Netflix and IMDb, Claudia Christian (from "Babylon 5" is listed second in the credits--yet she's only in the first and last 5 minutes of the film.

This film is so bad I had to watch it all the way through, the effects, I have avoided the word special on purpose, are hilarious, there will never be enough hours in the day to describe how bad this film is. The leading lady idea of acting was to pant more when she was out of breadth. Loosing a few pounds of her hips would not have done any damage. As for the leading man, he would be wise to seek work as a stunt double for Daniel Craig. The cheapness of the sets are beyond belief, most of the central part of the film appear to have been shot over a weekend on a disused factory lot. The bit at the end when the hero is looking for his family and the mountain off screen is "attacked" by the meteors is really funny I won't mention the ending but it's so bad it's good and what happened to his traveling companion. Priceless.

I have seen worse movies of this genre aired on the SyFy channel. In all honesty though, that's saying very little. Meteor Apocalypse was really quite a messy movie. If there was a redeeming quality, it was the surprisingly good and believable performance of Joe Lando. Sadly for this movie, the redeeming values end there. The rest of the acting ranges from bad to poor even from those who visibly try, and they are not helped by clichéd characters, dreadful writing and a contrived story full of scenes that don't ring true, and also naff special effects, scrappy photography and plodding direction and pacing. So all in all, one good asset isn't enough to salvage a bunch of well-below average ones. 2/10 Bethany Cox

From looking at the DVD box, I decided not to watch Meteor Apocalypse as a film, but as a simple story about a man trying to find his family in difficult times. I put the cheap special effects, bad acting and script aside, and just waited to see what would happen next.

It reminded me a lot of the recent BBC series Survivors, except every 20 minutes there are meteors raining down on everyone.

The main character of David is played to good effect by Joe Lando, giving us a surprisingly good portrayal as the courageous man does his best to find his family and help people along the way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Claudia Christian appear as David's wife and mother to their child. I had not seen her in anything since the end of the Babylon 5 series.

Some things don't quite make sense, but when we are regularly shown conflict within the disaster management center, it may explain why some things occurred.

Not to be taken too seriously, but as a light contribution to the disaster science fiction genre.

Can't defend the script or the dialog, but much of the acting in this sci-fi disaster flick is first- rate, especially if you watch the special features and realize they shot this thing in only 12 days. Joe Lando and Cooper Harris, in particular, do exceptional work under what must have been trying conditions. Lando brings a real sense of desperation and urgency and Harris is compelling as a lost soul along for the ride. They even manage to make some of the horrendous dialog sound human and real. It's a shame they didn't have a better script to work with, but they and one or two others in the cast are well worth watching.

The Asylum put this piece of space junk on film, and as usual for The Asylum it's a real piece of trash: an almost worthless would-be disaster flick, chock full of cheesy acting and cheesier special effects. The storyline sees a gigantic meteor heading towards Earth: boffins decide to try to blow it up, but all they succeed in doing is making tons of meteorites hit the Earth and blow up various places.

What this all boils down to is the usual rugged hero and his pretty sidekick attempting to outwit and evade human villains alongside the killer meteorites, which seem to have some kind of homing ability in the way that they're constantly chasing after our heroes. If you've seen one CGI meteorite strike you've seen them all, so after about ten minutes this film becomes boring in the extreme. Claudia Christian (THE HIDDEN) appears in a minor role.

the cover of this movies seems as a real action film with great Special effects, but IT IS NOT. It has been one of the worst movies i have ever seen.

If you want to loose friend or give a bad impression you have to recommend this movie as good to watch.

Poor script, bad director, bad characters, very bad effects.

After the first 15 minutes I started to slow forward the movie, after 30 minutes i was begging the movie to end.

This movie should be banned or be in a category called: worst ever. Its a shame for the main character to act in this movie, he should stay in TV episodes as he has been all the time.

This film is terrible in so many ways. Poorly acted, horrible direction, a plot line where the characters do ridiculous things.

But all that has been covered in other reviews here. What mystifies me is that this was released by a company called "Faith Films", with the DVD cover quoting Revelations, talking about a biblical prophecy and the End Times. None of that is mentioned in the film! There is one brief mention of going to church early in the movie, and later there is a pastor that helps some people. Those are not strong plot points, not highlighted or emphasized in any way. So what does "faith" have to do with this silly disaster movie? Nothing.

I tried to go to the Faith Films web site, and my anti-virus software blocked it, saying it may contain scam material. That could be a false blockage, but it kind of fits, considering the film really has nothing to do with Christianity, in spite of the DVD cover indicating otherwise. I guess that is a scam, too.

Anyway, the film is only worth watching if you want to mock how bad it is. For example, when the main character ends up in the desert for no particular reason. What?

It's amazing and unbelievable that the character of Lynn hasn't thought or took the effort of changing her high heels with a more comfortable sneakers or walking shoes at the first opportunity. Usually in such disaster and emergency situation it is expected that much walking would be necessary and would be most likely to happen and what comes to your mind would be on a comfortable shoes.

I find many of the SyFy and Asylum movies fun to watch (in a cheesy, drive-in movie carload night, triple feature kind of way), but this one was a huge disappointment. I don't mind suspending logic or reality for the sake of a low-budget picture, but this had no real coherent plot or character development. I found myself rooting for the meteors to splatter these people whom I'd been following for the better part of an hour, just to put me out of my misery. I give it a "2" just because it might be okay to have on while you vacuum the house or make dinner, but you'd be better off watching a 50s "B" monster or sci-fi movie rather than this...

Bad acting, bad scripting, bad editing. Can't get any badder than that.

Don't be expecting anything great like acting or special effects. Don't be expecting a great story or twists and turns. Do expect it to take about a hour and a half out your day to watch.

I tried to give it a 2 because of a few scenes that seemed redeeming, however, there is so much wrong with this I cannot do more than a 1.

There is hardly a logical moment in the entire movie. From the comet being blasted into a thousands of bits and pieces only to reappear intact like it was originally only would have taken a minor rewrite to fix.

Lando leaves his ever present hand bag early in the movie only to have it suddenly reappear in the next scene.

Antidotes working faster than it can even get into the tummy ...

Just un flipping believable.

I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!

Before watching Battlefield Earth, this movie had the worst IMDb rating in my list of films I liked. It is also the only Asylum film I liked and the only Asylum film I watched till the end.

The story like many other similar, nothing new, nothing innovative, but I enjoyed it. Not so good acting and CGI, but it is OK. I like post-apocalyptic films and that is why I gave a chance to Meteor Apocalypse and I can say I wasn't wrong. If you also like post- apocalyptic theme, this is a nice film to watch. Not the best, but solid one.

It certainly deserves higher rating than 3.0 which it has at the moment of my writing.

5/10

This is a pretty good movie for a B movie. My husband and I love the B movies. There are some pretty bad ones out there but this one is pretty good. The acting isn't half bad. If you go into this knowing it is a B movie, then you should like it.

Not amongst the greatest or even mediocre movies I've watched, but if you have nothing better to do on a wet afternoon it will pass the time without you having to engage your brain too much. Put it this way I've seen better and I've seen a lot worse.

Hollywood is infatuated with "apocalypses" of all kinds ! I counted no less tha 22 film titles on IMDB where "apocalypse" was part of the title , and I am sure a lot more on the way !!

WOW !

By the way , for some unknown reason apocalypses (?) never occur in Indonesia or Zimbabwe or even nearby Cuba for example ... Most of the time they seem to be partial to California and LA in particular ie if you save the film studio then you also save us mortals !

And so to this sad piece of Hollywood junk ( sorry , artwork ) about a disintegrating meteor showering Californian cities (but NOT it seems the surrounding countryside NOR Washington DC , where they are also busy calmly discussing bad ass diseases threatening America without any interference from Uncle Apocalypse ) !

There are several diversions which the director hoped to break the monotony with like a kiss of life in the middle of nowhere , gunfire and quadbikes , riots and shapely lab assistants . But sadly all these failed !

BTW , I noticed that NO one had a meal nor went to relieve themselves throughout ...

If any award is to be bestowed on this film , it should be given to its "stars & starlets" who managed to keep a straight face right to the end !!
