I consider myself something of a disaster flick aficionado. It probably has something to do with growing up with disaster flicks like the Towering Inferno; The Poseidon Adventure; and Earthquake. So imagine my disappointment tonight when I turned on Meteor on NBC this evening and it sucked ass!!
This is the worst disaster flick ever! It had most of the usual elements of a standard disaster flick, it just lacked everything. There was the crazy convict guy, but you never knew why he had a vendetta for the cop and his family and the cop was a really bad cop. I mean after shooting him they just assumed he was dead even though the viewer could tell he had only been winged in the arm. The sad part was you kind of hoped for the end of the world, because no in this movie grabbed you and made you want to care.
this wasn't even bad in a campy some day this will be a cult classic sort of way, it was a low-budget made for summer teevee movie and they didn't even care how bad it was. That's two hours of my life I'll never get back. At least my dinner was lovely and delightful; salade nicoise with rosemary & pepper encrusted grilled tuna and lemon mint vinagrette. It was excellent! So the evening wasn't a total waste.
