Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

countrygurl2464 I personally have watched this movie seven times until my VCR tape broke. I loved it and would love to find it on DVD so I could watch it some more. I got real feeling for the actors in this movie. they seemed to react to situations like normal people might not the oh well whatever reaction that a lot of actors portray now days. I found the over all plot to be exciting without all the blood and gore that you see in a lot of films now.I hope anyone who watches it enjoys it as much as I have. You must remember that the newer special effects were not ready then and not judge it by that. Its special effects were great when it first came out.

magicfunnyman I am a little embarrassed by the strong negative reviews of this movie because I worked in this movie as a background actor. I am also surprised by the fact that the movie was nominated for 4 awards and won an Emmy for Outstanding Special Visual Effects, yet all but a hand few of viewers on this web site agreed with the Academy of Arts and Sciences in their movie review. Personally I enjoyed the movie. It wasn't the greatest movie I've seen but it certainly wasn't the worst. Of course when I first started watching the movie I was more interested in picking out my ugly mug out of the sea of faces. (you can actually see me standing just behind Anne Marie Johnson. We were watching a news vid at the Kansas City Evacuation site. (We were watching the actual news vid that was filmed earlier and later used in the movie, not a blank TV screen.)One of my favorite scenes was when Fema worker Adam Marquez (played by Carlos Gomez) got shot, I thought it was very well done. I liked the actor who played the gunman, he did an excellent job! I actually worked in that scene as one of the extras in the crowd of upset evacuees. An interesting bit of trivia is that while we were doing that scene, one of the other extras in the crowd fell over and had convulsions. Someone called out for a "real" medic, then the man was carried out on a stretcher. (The man was alright and I believe he was there for the re-shoot the following evening.)I also enjoyed the suspense created in the scene when Jack Wallach (played by Michael Biehl) saved the boy named Elliot off of a slab of concrete just before it crashes into the center of a crater formed by the Asteroid hit.I am a little puzzled by those who think they saw mountains in the movie. The evacuation scenes were filmed at Buckley Air National Guard base several miles out east from Denver. (That's away from the mountains, for those of you geographically challenged.) It was far enough away to make it nearly impossible to see any mountains. Most of the other scenes that were filmed within the city limits were filmed at night making it difficult to see the mountains if they did happen to get in the shot. I have also watched the movie many times myself and have never seen any mountains in any of the scenes. (I guess I will have to watch it again to see of I can see them.) Not a bad movie. Had I not worked in the movie it would be hard to say if I would have enjoyed it more or less. If you like a good disaster movies than I would recommend this one.

Don-185 I worse film I ever saw. FEMA to the rescue maybe too many Naw Leans residents saw this film. FEMA by no means has any action heroes.Everything about he film is bogus.Emergency workers don't behave as shown Everyone would have known the asteroid would have splinted. Why did the grand father leave the house with 2 small fires going.There was food and water at house.Its a waste of time. Don't waste your time. Watching this film is a waste of time Clinton Hollywood feel good.If you want to see a silly very silly 90's movie watch this and laugh.Believe it or not the Kid is named Eliott.

itgagent0409 I can't believe all these negative comments about this movie! I love it! Super special effects, nice acting.Annabella Sciorra & Michael Biehn were great.Of course, the laser would be impossible, but it was to make the movie more dramatic.The Dallas scene where the city is "meteored" off the face of the Earth was great as well.The ending where Elliot is trapped in the crater was very suspenseful.Having asteroids hit Dallas & Kansas City is a better choice than New York or Los Angeles. I would have preferred Salt Lake City to Dallas, but still nice to see fresh blood in this movie.There are no dams in Kansas City, but they did it to make it more dramatic, as well. Plus, their downtown doesn't look like that, but who cares?Super movie! 10 out of 10!
