Asteroid: Final Impact

Complete non sense movie. End is tragic. Small rocket from college is used for ending the asteroid. Where is government. Maybe already moved to a new planet haha.

I love this kind of movie but why are they so bad? Surely the people responsible have seen a disaster movie, Deep Impact comes to mind, it was a great movie. Why waste the money and your credibility? It's not even a fun bad movie, again Why.

I was expecting some run-of-the-mill, campy, terribly acted, terribly written disaster movie. You've seen one, and you seen them all. Not so with Asteroid: Final Impact. It may not appeal to everyone, but for what it is, budget-wise, and being a TV movie, to me, it was surprisingly engaging. The only thing I was wondering was where the government was in all this, but that's the part you're not supposed to wonder about. Other than that, the acting was solid, except for the goofy female FBI agent. That lady needs to find another line of work. Acting is NOT her forte. Emilie Ullerup is a knockout and an excellent actress to boot. The rest of the cast never overacted or made me feel uncomfortable. I cared about their characters, and I wanted them to succeed in their mission. I did not and do not work for anybody involved with this production. I am giving it a 7/10, because I think it deserves it, and you could do much worse.

There are good disaster movies far better than this one. Some familiar faces from Hallmark (Canadian) movies though. Most of the actors were overacting making it seem laughable at times, especially FBI agent Jenkins, who I think they were trying to make her come off as trying to look & be a JLo wanna be, was terrible!! Save yourself and avoid this disaster...

FBI still on the case without worrying about meteor strikes...???. Kid shoots meteor with model rocket filled with acid....saves the world...!!!! I think not.... Poor script , bad acting...film wasted...

Astronomer fighting "the Man" to reveal a 4 cubic kilometer Dark Asteroid heading for Earth. Scores of FBI agents hunting this man while small asteroids pummel everything and everyone AS HE IS CLEARLY (insert choice of Prime Evil). Manages to launch a hobby-rocket with a pint of liquid handwavium that vaporises the metor 500m before it impacts Earth. Its an insult to chimpanzee intelligence. Study your navel lint rather than watch this. Only worth one star because of the banana in the tailpipe homage.

The world of cheesy disaster movies is a simple one but non more simple than this one...man finds out something he shouldn't,authorities dont believe him and discredit him,disaster happens, man saves day and everyone loves him ....if only this film did it that quickly instead of going through vomit inducing dialect and more fluff than a shoot out at a bear factory store...

Initially when you sit down to watch a natural disaster movie, chances are quite high that you will be in for something generic, low budget and boring. But still, there is something oddly bizarre about this type of movies that is alluring. Meteor Assault (aka "Asteroid: Final Impact" as it was named on the DVD I found) turned out to be yet another generic and less than thrilling natural disaster movies that are readily available. So you know what you will get here. The special effects in the movie, while they were present, were just anything but impressive. Did they serve their purpose? Certainly. But they were just not overly interesting, impressive or captivating. And it turned out to be actually just another mass-produced disaster movie not unlike the majority in the genre. This movie follows the stereotypical blueprint of how to make a disaster movie. Some huge natural disaster threatens to put mankind to extinction, and a small group of people take action and manages to save the entire world at the very last moment. Yep, it is exactly that formula that "Meteor Assault" follows. As for the acting in the movie, well let's just leave it at that you know exactly what you are getting, and the standards for these movies is also what you can expect. I do enjoy disaster movies, just a shame that most of the movies made in the genre are less than mediocre. and "Meteor Assault" turned out to be yet just another of those movies. So there is nothing interesting to be had here.

From the cheesy dialogue to the complete lack of scientific accuracy, this movie is completely ridiculous in its ridiculousness. About the only thing mildly entertaining (and the only reason for 2 stars instead of 1) is the laughter at the mile-a-minute tearing apart of the inaccuracies one can do while watching. I'm a firm believer in willful suspension of disbelief to enjoy a work of fiction, but this movie challenges even that.

This film starts off a sound disaster movie with the said asteroid of the title disappearing. When astrophysicist Steve Thomas (Mark Lutz) wants to use his asteroid tracking site to find the missing rock he finds it's now being used by the military to spy on the populace. After he blows the whistle he loses his job, his reputation, and friends. Then after a deadly meteor storm hits America he comes to realise theirs greater issues at hand. The missing rock has become a dark asteroid, which is undetectable by normal technology, only Thomas' satellite will be able to see it. However, things only get worse as it may be indestructible also. This, for the most part, is a respectfully written, directed, and acted film. Daniel Winters creates a nice story of distrust and the consequences of one's actions, even when they are the in the right. The actors do a good job of bringing the characters to life and generating a believable universe. While the director, Jason Bourque, keeps the pace fluctuating in all the right scenes to create excitement. The special effects or decent, though nothing ground-breaking, they are used well and to their greatest potential to strengthen the story and film. Unfortunately, and it's a big unfortunately, the ending lets the story down to the point of breaking the believability and leaving the viewing audience feeling cheated. It feels rushed, crude, and childish, which is a shame as with a better and more reasonable and realistic outcome this film could have been a rare thing - a TV movie which breaks out of the average mould. So if you like disaster movies this may be worth watching as long as you remember that the ending needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. If bad movies bring a smile to your face when something incredibly awful and silly happens then the finale should bring a smile to your lips as it did mine; if not then stay away from the film.
