Not or Meteor, Armegeddon, etc
This movie is so obscure and unnoteworthy in most ways (though a fine film with some interesting twists and ideas) that i doubt is was the basis for Meteor, Armegeddon, When Worlds Collide or others of that sort. More likely they sprung from the disaster movie genre as they looked for something besides the latest Airport or others that had been done to death by then. Or in Armegeddon's vase the next big nudget, big booms Bruckheimer film. ;o)
