The Price for This Movie!! ?? Although I absolutely loved this movie, I have only one question: Why is this movie $99 and not even "new??"

Asteroid I liked this movie. It was thought provoking and insightful with the action taking place in a location not usually seen before. Dallas, Texas was a good choice as it is highly populated, but not typical like New York, or Los Angeles. Being a Colorado girl, I liked that the NOAA facility in Boulder was used. The FEMA aspect was something new not usually included in these types of movies, and gave a more human element to the story instead of focusing on the impending disaster.
Better the first two times when it was called "Deep Impact" and "Armaggedon" You've heard the story before. An asteroid is on a direct path with earth. Cue ball meets eight ball. People are going crazy, chaos reigns supreme, and only a select few can be saved.
It's a shame Michael Biehn has this blemish on his career. He was in Terminator and Navy Seals for goodness sakes! In this flop, however, he's paired with an unsatisfying collection of B-level flunkees and "that guy" actors. And the asteroid "special effects", whoa, they look like a really bad film scene from a first generation video game that didn't sell very well.
Aside from the completely preposterous asteroid scenes, the destruction of the city as a result of an asteroid-on-dam collision is completely pathetic and laughable in every way possible. The "city" is clearly a model set, and there is absolutely no attempt to disguise this fact. I felt like I was watching a child's toys being destroyed by an overzealous parent watering the lawn.
There's nearly nothing likable, enjoyable, or believable in the entire movie. Watch it if you want to make fun of it, or if you want to see how a bad movie is made. On a side note, for such a craptastic movie, the film's length makes it similar to a root canal without anesthesia.
A quick review of Asteroid I enjoyed this movie. I enjoy most movies with Annabella Sciorra. She plays an important scientist in this story about a threating Asteroid. If nothing else the movie should remind us of the need to know more. What will we do if this actually happens. We are not as prepared as we should be.
Asteeroid I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ASTEROID FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND COULD NOT BUY IT FROM AROUND WHERE I LIVE AT. AMAZON SEEMS TO HAVE THE HARD TO FIND MOVIES, AND THAT IS GREAT FOR ME. EVEN THOUGHT THIS MOVIE IS QUITE LONG IT IS NICE TO WATCH ONCE AND AWHILE AND I COLLECT DESASTER MOVIES.
