Fantastically fun, epic and suspenseful with top-drawer actors, solid performances, serviceable effects and a genuine sense of foreboding till the 11th hour calamities! If you can't manage to step out of your own couch-bound entitlement to cherish a quality, cheesy yet stoically serious disaster flick like Meteor then rest assured you're sunk and should just pack it in. Despite its faults, Meteor TOWERS over most of the newer, would-be disaster flicks drowning in buckets full of crap CGI any day of the week. Why? Because Meteor boasts HANDS-ON movie-making and special effects which is how movies were meant to be made friends. CGI will never compete, and before you let your visual senses become so utterly poisoned thinking 'CGI is the norm'.... do yourself a favor and snap out of it! Movie going and especially movie making needs a major wake up call, and movies like Meteor, Earthquake, Dino's '76 King Kong, Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno are the real inspirations here.
