Meteor disaster film reviewed as mild and crowd-pleasing
The film features Sean Connery Karl Malden and Natalie Wood at the Stage 3 Theatre rated PG. It centers on a NASA mission to stop a giant meteor with Soviet help, but the plot drags as effects are only fair and suspense wanes. The cast delivers solid performances though some subplots feel underdeveloped. ON THIS DATE in 1978 the FBI named Rev Jim Jones among those who died in Jonestown.
