Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Contains Spoilers I watched this on the internet. If you're looking for scientific facts then you're out of luck. This movie stretches the imagination in the science department. The premise of meteorites striking a small mid-western town and striking fear in the hearts of the town-folk, including the tourists who have come for the UFO festival is a good one, IMO. But really, the same small town getting struck repeatedly for 24 hours? I actually cheered when the 'reporter' got hit and all that was left were his smoking shoes. I was hoping that would happen to the mayor too, but he survived. Sub-plots aplenty including teenagers in love, the hero trying to get over his past, the mayor with his financial problems. All in all it wasn't a bad 90 minutes, could have been worse. If you want to watch it, just remember to leave ALL your science knowledge behind because this is just 90 minutes of entertainment, not school.

Given that this is a made-for-TV show, it's not that bad. It's very light and innocent in tone. The dialog and characters are the strength of this movie. No, they are not well-done, but rather just "decently" done.Basically, this movie is about a town that is about to be ravaged with a flurry of meteorites. The earth is passing through a comet's tail and the town is looks like it's in the wrong place at the worst possible time. The movie follows the stories of a few groups of people.The sci-fi element is present because of the meteorites, but it doesn't go much further beyond that. The story is pretty much a simple "watch out for the falling rocks" instead of "how are the scientists going to save us?" story. Nothing more.The characters, as mentioned earlier, are barely interesting. However, mediocre as the whole movie was, nothing really got on my nerves. So as far as a movie that is barely sci-fi, that is sometimes a plus.I don't recommend watching this movie unless you have it on in the background and are doing something else. For sci-fi fans, it's kind of like pleasant background music.

watching this movie. the budget must have been from bingo winnings.there are some cool effects, the actors all seem like they are waiting for the lunch truck. music would have helped on the non meteor shots.some of the actors were on TV shows that did not last a season or 2.you do get the sensation of wanting to change the channel but you flip back to see what is happening if you do.it will all be over soon so just enjoy watching if you are still awake.this movie looks like it should have came out in the fifties when "The Blob' and "I was a teenage werewolf" and "night of he living dead" those types of movies. nothing to it boss.

Tom Wopat and a grade-Z cast in a 1950s-style flick about meteorites hitting a small Arizona town. My favorite parts: Tom's daughter has just been crowned 'Miss Universe' during the town's UFO Festival ...and she's hoisted up in a cheesy UFO (by a crane) above the adoring townsfolk just as the rocks start crashing ...imagine sitting there, trying to look glam in your tiara, when everyone beneath you is getting bombed; then there's the obnoxious fellow (who you know just HAS to die) who is hit head-on by a small meteorite but his smoking boots are left standing. Oh the agony of it all -- both for the town and the viewer! If you taped it, this is a movie best watched in fast-forward mode.
