Although I seldom go this far out on a limb, "Meteor" is so bad, so unbelievably campy, it almost demands to be seen. Coming a few weeks after ABC's "Impact," this RHI Entertainment two-parter manages to make that end-of-the-world epic look like "I, Claudius," incorporating a maniac cop subplot and perplexing levels of gratuitous violence. Various recognizable actors dot the cast, but several of them have the good sense to die well before the end (or not) comes, leaving poor Marla Sokoloff as mankind's last best hope.
Despite the shared title, "Meteor" isn't directly related to the 1979 disaster movie that starred Sean Connery, which contained a then-appropriate Cold War hook, as the U.S. and Soviets had to team up to try and prevent a world-annihilating threat.
Instead of geopolitics, director Ernie Barbarash and writer Alexander Greenfield settle for a murderous cop (Michael Rooker) swearing vengeance against the family of his partner, Jack (Billy Campbell), leading him on a chase across California while laws of civility break down as huge meteor shards reshape the landscape.
That's because a mountain-sized meteor named Kassandra is hurtling toward Earth, and only a crazy old scientist (Christopher Lloyd) and his young colleague Imogene (Marla Sokoloff) know how to stop it. Unfortunately, they're in Mexico, and when something bad happens to the elder lab rat, Imogene has to navigate her way across the border hoping to convey vital information to Dr. Chetwyn (Jason Alexander), the harried scientist who fired her boss but is now working with the military to save humanity.
