Talk about "Bloopers!"1 - it's pouring down rain and windy and they show a news lady in the middle of the storm and funny thing, no umbrella and yet she's perfectly dry even though it is pouring rain on top of her.2 - Lightning strikes and starts a forest fire. A woman and her son are about 50 yards from the fire and smoke. The husband pulls up in his truck about 5 minutes later and there is no fire, no smoke, the sun is shining and all is beautiful. Quite literally two minutes later the sky is dark, they are almost completely surround by fire, smoke and embers everywhere.3 - One second the sky is black and there's lightning, winds and horrible weather yet 2 seconds later, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, no clouds, no wind and 2 seconds later - death defying doom is upon them.4 - SEVERAL times it is black clouds, pouring rain and in the same breath, it is pouring rain and the sun is shining brightly.5 - Casper is running, the front of his tee shirt drenched with sweat and literally in the same scene, his tee-shirt is perfectly dry, he turns around and it's partially wet again from sweat, then 2 seconds later all dry.6 - why oh why whenever Casper and/or others were running, they had flashlights glaring even though where they were running had the lights on?

Like many, I enjoy a truly bad movie almost as much as a great one. However, it requires some redeeming qualities. For instance, I recall a recent film about giant mosquitoes attacking humanity. I can't remember the name of the movie but that's not important. The mosquitoes weren't computer animated, but marionette-ish. In a scene where the first victim was fatally attacked, it was readily apparent that the "blood" filling the mosquitoes' "sack" was merely a giant red balloon being filled with a clandestine air line. Love it! Along with cheesy yet creative attempts at special effects, give me at least one character with which I can develop a sense of empathy. This film offers neither, and less.Within the first 10 minutes you will be hoping the family, the folks we're supposed to root for, just dies. None of them are likable. They don't even seem to like each other. You will then want to cheer for the storm (to kill the family), but like all the characters in this film, it too lacks depth.The pathetic special effects are as entertaining as being "it" in the game of tag when all your playmates are recent check-ins at the morgue. Seriously, a guy about to get sucked into nonexistence in the middle of a hurricane, yet it looks like a 20" box fan 15' away is blowing his hair around? And what about the exploding bodies? Didn't see them, you won't either. They could have over inflated some blow up dolls with ketchup, I would have doubled my rating.This film shows that you get what you pay for when all efforts and resources are directed towards cheap computer animation and nothing else, it gets tired quick.Nail clippers anyone?

It can be a 1 or a 10. It contains epic scenes and a lot of acting. At least I hope its acting, I have never seen anything like it before. At least not since I watched my kids doing their first theater performance in kindergarten. But you have to smile, its expected of you. The acting is actually horrible, the directing is horrible, the story is horrible and the special effects are amazingly bad. Watching its 84 minutes felt like 3 hours. And the only way they managed 84 minutes was by playing large parts of the movie in slow motion. Some scenes contains the worst acting I have ever seen. But this makes it kind of funny. I have actually recommended it to a couple of people because of the extremely poor quality. You got to see it. You will get scarred for life. And you will probably appreciate even slightly better movies so much more. When you watch it, you wonder why you waste your time. But the day after you fill your mind with all the epic bad scenes from yesterday and you'll get a smile on your lips. Just because it was that bad. Try it, you won't like it until the day after. It's that bad.

Were to start with this? Well the basic storyline is the same as the 2003 movie "The Core". An experiment starts a series of storms that ultimately will result in the destruction of the Earth. Standard disaster movie stuff.Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) stars in this less then brilliant disaster movie. Although you would be forgiven for not recognising him with his grey stubble and 90's inspired hair style.I have to say that the 2.2 rating on IMDb is fair.The acting is poor, the storyline is unoriginal and badly executed, the CGI is not up to the task, and the dialogue is very bad.Is it worth a watch? No. I'd actually avoid this. It doesn't come close to being a good "bad" movie.You can't even watch this ironically. Worst I've seen since Transmorphers.
