I like disaster movies. I even like the bad ones. But this - this goes beyond bad into utterly dire.The characters are walking, talking clichés straight out of better disasters movies. Every single plot point is signposted ages before it arrives, and every situation is utterly predictable.The writing and directing between them manage to suck all tension and excitement out of the story. The writing is obvious - and dull - and there is no build-up of tension at all. This is quite a talent. This writer has made a tornado hitting New York mind-numbingly dull. And the direction is of the 'point, shoot, move on to the next shot' variety.As for the effects - c'mon guys, you've been doing special effects for nearly 100 years now - you can do better than this! Don't watch this. ever. It's two hours of your life you'll never get back and you'll regret it.

Once again, we get a movie made by Canadian filmmakers that doesn't take place in Canada but instead the United States. Actually, given that distinctly Canadian movies tend to be boring arty stuff, I don't blame these filmmakers for trying to pass this off as an American movie. Anyway, I guess I found a few positive things in this movie. The general production values look decent - plenty of extras in the backgrounds, well-lit scenes, and looking like some decent money was spent at some point. Plus, it's hard to totally knock a movie that has the guts to not only kill kids, but dogs as well. But that's about all I found positive about this movie. Most of the computer generated effects look TERRIBLE, for one thing. The script is filled with familiar stuff like a stubborn mayor who won't listen to those who know the real danger. And calling this movie "Tornado Terror" is odd, seeing that the tornadoes only appear at the beginning and just before the end, leaving a long, dull, middle section. Move along, folks, there's nothing here you haven't seen before (and better.)

I caught this on Sky Movies Premiere today, it's a very wet, dull day and there was nothing else on TV so i thought i'd watch this (it got **/***** so i thought it wouldn't be too bad)Okay, it's cheesy, the special effects are bad, and the Science in the film might be inaccurate but it tells the story in a way that people may believe. If your into big budgets, amazing special effects and big name actors, this is not for you!It's about a series of tornado's that are set to destroy, guess where.....New York (that city has been through some rough times) and it's up to Cassie and her husband to save the day! I won't spoil the ending like i do in a lot of my reviews, i thought i'd let you (the reader) find out for yourself!So overall, it's a decent film, nothing special but it's fun none the less.7/10

Stock, low-budget disaster flick in which the poor Big Apple gets yet another pasting; this time from schools of electrical tornadoes caused by disturbances in the upper atmosphere (due, surprise, surprise, to global warming) that lead emergency crews and weathermen a merry and deadly dance.Our heroes are Deputy Mayor James Lawrence and his meteorologist wife Cassie, played with suitable gravitas by Sebastian Spence and the lovely Nicole de Boer - definitely the prettiest Trill on Deep Space Nine - who must battle not only the elements but pinheaded bureaucrats (including Lawrence's boss) in order to test Cassie's theory for a solution to the storm gangs.Strictly rainy day fare. My vote: 4, + 1 for the chance to see Ms. de Boer again.
