KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

mbheusdens Can't say much more than what other reviewers have about this film. SyFy and the production companies they hire to do movies always seem to be college flunkies. There were some cgi moments where they had a competent person. Then it was like they fired them and used a less skilled person or crew. The collapsing of the apartment building was just one of those skill-less moments that are very common in low budget films.The writer's must get paid peanuts. As usual, they put in absolute idiotic characters and very idiotic choices. I was glad when the annoying news caster bought it. It was obvious the building was coming down. But as an idiotic move, he stays there to get his 'big' moment.The sister/aunt of the family the plot mostly evolves around gets stuck on the Golden Gate after a wreck. Car window is completely open, yet she screams for help and keeps trying to open the car door which is blocked instead of climbing out the open window. When she does, finally, climb through the open window, it is when the part of the bridge she is on is collapsing! Idiot would have had a better chance to survive rather than plunging to her death if she climbed out earlier! The kids, in a foolish attempt to rescue a boyfriend, take the elevator instead of the stairs because they would be able to rescue and get out faster. Really? So what happens? Yup.. The power to the building is disrupted and they are trapped in the elevator! Wow. With that kind of stupidity, the kids should have died just like their idiotic aunt! These less than B movies from SyFy make wonderful drinking games!

Leofwine_draca A typically inane disaster movie from the SyFy Channel. This one sees San Francisco assailed by a meteor storm that comes out of nowhere, destroying scenery and infrastructure before a dedicated team of scientists decide to do something about it. It's as cheesy, lightweight and predictable as it sounds, featuring terrible acting and even worse effects, and is very much par for the course for this genre.Saying that, the film does have plenty of incident and a pace which keeps on moving, so it's never boring - just bad. By the time things take on an outer-space angle it all gets very derivative of Armageddon and its ilk. Fans of this kind of trash may get a kick out of the sub-standard CGI and overwrought performances; the rest of us will just sigh in exasperation.

TheLittleSongbird Of all the films I have seen of Syfy and on the Syfy channel, Meteor Storm is not one of the best, though I have yet to see a Syfy movie that I would deem good. But it is not as bad as Titanic II, Mega Piranha, Shark Attack and that Moby Dick movie they did. To be honest, Meteor Storm is nothing to rave about, but unlike the movies I have cited the acting while again not award-worthy was tolerable, particularly from Michael Trucco. The film is not visually stunning by any regard as the editing is rather slip-shod and the effects are largely inconsistent, but there are much cheaper productions out there. Despite these, there are a lot of things in this movie that I don't like about Syfy in general. A major problem is the plot, if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be nonsensical. The ideas put forward are somewhat imaginative and intriguing, but explained and executed ridiculously. The script is clichéd, illogical and just plain bad really, the characters are cardboard and I didn't really connect to them, the pace is uneven with a dull middle section and the less said about a vast majority of the direction the better. All in all, there have been worse, but this is not really something to savour on repeat viewings and such. 2/10 Bethany Cox

MartianOctocretr5 An astro-physicist is tapped by the government to figure out why the city of San Francisco is being besieged by anti-social meteorites. BB-sized pellets crash a meteor light show stargazing event, and victims run for cover. Immediately, scientists and the military team up to repel the onslaught.Time out for obligatory clichés: Obnoxios dumbbell TV news crew getting in everybody's hair. General wants to nuke something. Hero guy is married to scientist, and they argue a lot. Their stupid brat kids blunder into perilous locations, always at the exact time and place meteors show up. Hero guy diverts from saving the world to rescue his idiot brat kids. The ratio of cliché stuff to actual plot elements is about 70% to 30%.The pseudo-scientific ramblings about why San Fran is being singled out are actually pretty imaginative (although ludicrous). Acting is fair. Action and CGI are fair. 99% of the budget was invested in the 500th movie depiction of the collapse of the city's most famous structure. It's done in spectacular fashion; the film's blazing glory moment. But sloppy editing also gives you glaring goofs: like light traffic in the background of a scene, during a supposed massive evacuation of the Bay area. Some evac.As cheaply done as it may be, it's amusing enough to make it entertaining.
