Meteor

When a large asteroid on a collision course with Earth is detected, a global effort is launched to prevent an extinction-level event. Two advanced space defense projects, one American and one Soviet, must overcome their political differences and unite their technological capabilities to destroy the meteor before it impacts.

Meteor was met with mixed to negative reviews from critics, who found its plot predictable and its special effects dated even for its time. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, contributing to its underperformance at the box office.

• Criticized for a weak and often slow-moving plot.
• Special effects were considered unconvincing and not up to par.
• The ensemble cast, despite its star power, struggled to elevate the material.

Google audience: Google users generally found the film to be a disappointment, citing a predictable storyline and uninspiring execution. While some acknowledged the star power, many felt the movie failed to deliver a compelling disaster narrative.

The film was originally envisioned as a more serious, documentary-style account of a potential asteroid impact, but producers later decided to inject more disaster movie elements and star power.
