Review of Asteroid

Asteroid (1997 TV Movie)
6/10
Moves along, but is forgettable
26 February 2008
This made-for-TV movie was slightly better than average. The variety of locations, story lines, visual effects and characters were 'ok'. Nothing made the 2-part movie particularly suspenseful or interesting, but the constantly moving pace kept if from degenerating into boredom.

The movie is about two asteroids that are on a collision course for earth. A big problem is that there's not enough time to do very much to eliminate the threat. Part 1 of the movie deals with this situation. Part 2 deals with the negative aftermath of the what happens in the US.

As mentioned, the saving grace of this movie is that there's a lot of action, visual effects and scale. It's not quite enough to make it a good movie, but it keeps it afloat.

While this movie is innocent enough for any age group to watch, I don't really recommend seeing it because it's 4 hours (with commercials) of a forgettable story.
