“Meteor: First Impact” (*1/2 out of four) was a cheesy disaster thriller about a scientist (Thom Hallum) who realizes it’s apocalypse now but no one believes him so he has to race against the clock to save the Earth from a series of deadly meteor attacks. Writer/director Brett Bentman throws in as many disaster-movie cliches as he can think of from “Independence Day” and especially “2012” but film is severely hindered by its lack of budget and effects. Hallum tries to whip up as much urgency as he can but this still should be gone from Redbox machines at the speed of a meteor.
