Meteorites!

About This Movie

So, 'Meteorites!' is one of those TV movies that really captures the late 90s vibe. Directed by Chris Thompson, it’s got this tense atmosphere with a small-town setting that really ramps up the stakes. The pacing's interesting—sometimes it drags a bit, but the build-up does make the meteor shower feel like a genuine threat. You get to see some practical effects that are kind of charming, especially for its time. The performances aren't groundbreaking, but they feel sincere and add to the overall tension. It’s definitely a unique take on the disaster genre, more about community resilience than just the chaos of falling rocks, which gives it a different flavor compared to other films of the era.
