Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

Thought this was a bit better than Impact. Everything moves at much faster pace. They did themselves a favor and kept the science talk to a minimum.

Didn't they do this a decade ago with Michael Biehn?

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

I DVR'd this tonight.

I was a little disappointed with Impact even though it had a pretty decent cast. I agree the science mumbo jumbo talk really hurt it.

I'll try to catch this during the week.

Did anyone else notice a few times where the dialogue seemed to be dubbed? I couldn't get past the Murphy's Law situations with the assistant: ok the car breaks down, and the accident, and the rapists, and the lost passport, and another accident. Good grief what's next.

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

I thought this was downright awful.. It made Impact look like a work of art in comparison!

I want a refund on the 2 hours I wasted on this last night. If you're going to make a movie about meteors hitting stuff, actually SHOW the meteors hitting stuff! Plus, it was the most CONVOLUTED, worst acted movie I have seen in years. The effects were horrible, even for TV. And my wife and I were laughing at how the cast was made up of TV and movie second bananas! I think we're watching Armageddon again next Sunday instead. At least Michael Bay knows how to blow stuff up real good.

Just a thought: Fourth-place networks don't run new miniseries in the middle of summer if they think the show is any good.

oh it wasn't this? ;)

That was Asteroid and it was SOOOO much better. The effects, the cast, everything.

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

I DVR'd it and am planning to watch it sometime soon. Looks decent from the description but you fine people seem to think its crap. Tell you what I think after I watch it. But from what you guys have said about it, I might put it off a little longer then I was planning.

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

Believe in our message of crapiness!

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

I tuned in for two scenes - one with George Costanza looking all flustered (in other words, he was pretending to be busy) and another where they showed before, after but not the actual impact of meteor fragments. What the hell?

Asteroid sucked, but I'm guessing this sucked more.

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

the scene at the very end with the flaming truck was hilarious

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

wow... I was bored... like not angry bored, just bored...

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

Unbelievably bad. Completely unwatchable.

Of course, I will watch the second half to see if it gets any worse ... Is that even possible?

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

Wasn't there a story a few months ago about NBC planning to air some of SciFi's original movies?

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

I thought so too! Also the part where


I recommend it for laughs only, but it's better to record it so you can skip the numerous commercials. (Also, you can skip most of the dialogue as it doesn't add much).

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

it truly is awful, but I'm enjoying it much more than 'Impact'.

oh, and if it wasn't the summer, I wouldn't even give this a glance.

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

What this movie needed was more shots of meteors flying through the sky and hitting buildings because the ones that they showed every three minutes just weren't enough.

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

I saw the last 15 minutes of it. It must be really bad because I can't find it in IMDB.

I gots mad search skillz.

Checked the discussion board there and they mentioned how the missile (stinger?) was able to cleanly blast one meteor over LA. Pretty hilarious. I'd really like to believe our rockets can do that.

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

OK, just finished the seonc half... and a pretty weak second half it was. Though time flew by and there was some action. Both movies were bleh, but now I say Impact was the better movie since it actually had a disaster theme.

Next week NBC got another movie - the Storm. Could it be worse?

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

I have been watching some of the 2nd part right now and wow.....just amazingly awful. Some of the worst acting and circumstances I have ever seen. This is like something the Mystery Science Theater guys would tear to pieces from the 80's...except it's happening now!

Re: Meteor nbc miniseries 7/12 & 7/19
 

Thanks, you guys saved me 3+ hours, had this on the DVR, I will just delete.

I've never been swayed once by what people here thought of something.
