I liked the topic in times, in which natural pollution is a great issue. It is a way more realistic than the events in other disaster movies. The acting is really good, not over the top, but natural with a good chemistry between the actors.

Has a B movie feel to it, but if you figure that out early, then Yes, sit back and have fun. My homophobia didn't get to out of whack. Typical bad-ass corporation messes everybody up with sulphur dioxide emissions. The kids fight for their lives. Bet you think twice about frolicking in the rain.

In brief: Some college campers happen upon a guy in the woods who turns out to be a brainiac wunderkind chemist who dropped out of society after getting burned by a former employer. Now, that employer is hatching a plot to wreak biological havoc on a city for profit. Not a big budget thriller, but a nice little ride, nonetheless. The characters are interesting and each has an issue or a mystery that comes out and adds to the story. The story really moves, and while it may be fiction, the idea behind the "toxic storm" (if you're willing to go along for the ride) is not so far-fetched, and makes for a suspenseful movie. Worth a watch.

If you are going to attempt to put out a science thriller, you should at least have some semblance of knowledge about science! The entire story of this movie, a toxic rainstorm... the premise is so flawed, and explained so badly that I kept hoping the main character (a supposed chemistry genius) to suddenly turn to the camera and say... "wait a minute", this just isn't possible!", then POOF, he wakes up from the bad dream and we start with the real plot.I think that if you are going to put this type of movie out, either your writer or director should have at least passed grade 9 science...I appreciate movies and shows where the science fiction is at least plausible... but to set it in modern day, with modern technology to expect me to buy that sulfuric acid could rain from the sky... well that is ridiculous.
