Yes, this movie is bottom-of-the-barrel horrible, from the dreadful acting to the unspeakably bad script to the awful editing. But who can't laugh at hot air balloons flying around in a tornado with people exploding (okay, so we never actually SEE exploding people, we'll just have to take the kid's word for it). And how funny is it to watch a car dodging back and forth trying to escape... what? The storm that doesn't seem to come anywhere near it? I didn't think I could laugh any harder until the last five minutes (here is the spoiler...close your eyes if you need to), when our hero is being sucked up into the storm, hanging on for dear life. But wait, what's that attached to his pants? Clearly the cable that is pulling him up. And it makes another cameo...and there's one holding his hand up... I must have replayed that scene ten times. And I'm still laughing.

This film amasses all the no-no's in just one pack. Terrible ideas. Fascinating non-believable characters. Ultra-mega-super-duper powers that not even combining X-Men, Superman, Iron Man, Spiderman, Juno, The Moone Boy, Beowolf, The Thundercats and The Addams Family all in unison would have.A veritable piece of crap with no ideas, no photography or effects skills, no plausible anything (emotions, physics, script, time line, camera use, animations). The music "sounds" pretty good anyway. Cymbals and percussions are all-pervasive.I'd really love to have the same money to make something simple, with actors or people without skills but believable... and with a story to tell, to move.The one point I give to this whateveryouwanttocallit is just because they made it. It's a class on its own of what -if you're in the filmmaking industry, should never do.

Simon's group starts a energy production project. The beam generated is a lot stronger than expected, and it starts hosing the weather in the TX/NM/AZ region. Nathan wrote much of the theory underlying the project, but has been absent from it for a while. When the problems start, Simon tries to contact Nathan. The Sims family is on the run from the storms, and eventually Nathan needs to get with Simon to correct things...such as getting the core of the project's reactor cooled off.Most of the film is about getting Nathan to the project, keeping the Sims family safe, and fixing the project.Nathan gets information to Simon to stop the beam. Then the bigger problems show up.-----Scores-----Cinematography: 5/10 The parts with no FX were nicely shot. The SFX were on the cheesy side. The model for the project's main site looked like 1960s SciFi props. Some of the matte paintings were not well done at all.Sound: 3/10 The actors were miked OK. Some of the background music was OK, but a lot of it sounded like it was generated from an automatic system. That irritated me quite a bit.Acting: 2/10 Sarah Lieving is always easy on the eye and the ear, but this is another film like Mega Shark and Super Shark; I wish she would move to better films. Casper van Dien has done better work, and he helps keep this project from being absolutely terrible. Similarly, this is about the worst property I've seen Michael Beach in. The other actors were rather bad, Bryan Head in particular.Screenplay: 2/10 The dialog and the plot were both simplistic and nonsensical. The film tries to convey a sense of urgency. However, the repetitions, the mistakes, and the poor delivery by many of the actors negated much the urgency.

I have not yet watched this film, but after experiencing some of the asylums other work I can only imagine the hell it is to watch.you are probably like me and watch a film no matter how bad the ratings, well the asylum designed the formula for bad movies and filmed it, keep your mind closed to "so crap it's good films" and spare yourself the pain of watching this or anything else like it after this you will be begging to watch something like cat woman or highlander part !! just to remind you there is still a reason to live after watching eye ball bleeding rubbish.my advice, watch anything other than this and remember there is still hope in the movie industry.
