Meteor Apocalypse (2010)
Meteor Apocalypse is the first film I watched from the Asylum’s sister-low-budget-studio, Faith Films. I’ll sum up Meteor Apocalypse with two adjectives that have quite possibly never been applied in a film review: “Relieved” and “Satisfied.”
Yes, it’s a bad movie, but please let me explain: I am a Christian and thereby had a vested interest in the movie. Most Asylum releases I sit back and enjoy the B-movie goodness as “so-bad-it’s-good.” But this wasn’t just a B-movie, it’s a Christian B-movie! So, Meteor Apocalypse I had a little emotional investment.
Why do I care? To get a perspective, imagine you’re watching a bunch of kids play T-ball. They are running around aimlessly, falling down arbitrarily, getting distracted by passing clouds, and one is attempting to chew on the baseball rather than throw it back into the infield. Kinda funny, right? Not if your kid is the worst of the bunch; then it’s embarrassing. But if your kid is as good as all the other bad kids, it’s okay! (Right? Someone with kids back me up on this!)
