Meteor—predictable at times, simple watch—features classic entertainers of the 1970s: Sean Connery, Brian Keith, and Henry Fonda. The movie re-kindles appreciation for their talents. Because there have been so many movies that have followed this particular disaster for earth theme that roots itself in meteor showers, it can be interpreted almost as a ho-hum watch. But, the movie has its merits for its time period. It serves as an easy-on-the-mind, light afternoon watch.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. The
best part of this movie is seeing these particular actors working together. It
