The meteor shower will be worth seeing, but don't count on thousands per hour. 
Such predictions for the Leonids were also made in recent years, and didn't pan
out.

If you want to take photos, use a fast film, fast lens, and a wide or normal
lens.  This is one area that you are more likely to get results with a 35 mm
camera (: because of the faster lenses available.
