A grab-the-money-and-run disaster opus with a slumming Connery and Wood ludicrious as a Russian scientist. Too bad the set wasn't hit by a giant falling space rock.

Entertaining, but only in an "OMG is this stupid!" sort of way.

One of the last disaster movies of the 70s. It has some intense moments, but for the most part it's boring and the story is kinda silly too. Still, it's entertaining.

Even in 1979 Meteor was a little dated but looking beyond the low budget it does have a certain charm about it. You've gotta love the creepy synth noise the meteor makes the closer it gets to earth!
