1.0 out of 5 stars Like the movie! Hate the disc!, 4 April 2009
By Allan Foo Chuan How (Singapore.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Meteor [DVD] [1979] (DVD)
Even if you love this movie, this is not the product to get, unless you really don't mind it in FULL SCREEN! At least the US Region 1 copy by MGM is in wide screen (though not anamorphic!). Sound IS in Stereo, though it listed on the cover as Mono.

Go look for the US Region 1 copy by MGM, which is out of print, or hope that someone will come out with a better copy soon.

Guess I have to copy it from my old copy of Laser Disc to DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Big Chunk of Cheese Headed Straight for Earth !!, 6 Sep 2007
This review is from: Meteor [DVD] [1979] (DVD)
Armageddon. Pah
Deep Impact. Phooey.

Meteor. Hits the nail right on the head!

Brief synopsis. Comet hits big rock. Big chunk of big rock sent on collision course with 3rd rock from sun. Sean connery pulled away from yaught race and puts on Tweed jacket. Sean goes to New York. Small piece of rock hits Earth causing film director to copy-paste snip of film 'Avalanche' onto his movie. Lots of skiers kick bucket. Sean meets Karl Marlden. Sean says 'Enough is Enough'. Sean decides to utilise US military orbiting ICBM station to destroy Big chunk of rock. Not on your nellie says US goverment. Another small chunk of rock hits Hong Kong. Everyone in Hong Kong spends rest of day swimming. US goverment wets pants. US goverment decides to launch at big chunk of rock. Alas! not enough ICBM's to finish big chunk off rock off! Call in the soviets, says Sean. Can we use YOUR orbiting ICBM platform to finish off big chunk of rock too? Soviets fanny about a bit. Decide 'what the vostock' and agree to let off their fireworks too. Rockets pointed at big chunck of rock. Launched. Small bit of rock hits New york. Sean and Karl get covered in chocolate milkshake in a subway station. Rockets hit big chunk of rock. Director over uses a starburst effect filter on the camera lens and runs out with 45 seconds of red flame effect screensaver. Everyone Happy. Rockets all gone. Big chunk of rock gone. Sean goes to airport. Plane takes off. Massive moral and ethical statement appears on screen. Credits roll. Tears finally stop running down your cheeks. But somehow you will still think to yourself.....'oOoooOohhh....what if it REALLY happened???'

Fantastic.

Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Whatif?, 16 Oct 2007
By Pesley woolfe (lincolnshire england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meteor [DVD] [1979] (DVD)
I have watched this film several times and have always enjoyed it. The characters are all there, truculant brilliant scientist, diplomatic scientist, Russian bear scientist, several pretty girls brave and with brains (gasp!)not to mention anti Russian general and a nice mix of oddballs. No real baddies except that piece of rock hurtling towards us and our doom. As disaster movies go one of the better ones from that era without all the over-angst. Could it happen? Food for thought.
