This is a low budget Sci-Fi flick that surprises, the movie stands out due to its stunt work and special effects that are more polished than expected.The plot goes as follows, when an unidentified object is shot down by the military and crashes into Puget Sound, it sets off a series of strange weather phenomena: tornadoes and lightning storms that are spreading. A scientist (Esai Morales) and his fiancée (Ona Grauer) has to work together, find answers, and stop the storm before it becomes global.The movie has moments worth looking into, one example is where a tornado demolishes the Space Needle which should remind you of the beginning of 10.5 if you've seen it, another example is how the scientifically engineered organism that lands in Seattle can cause a runaway greenhouse effect and ultimately a global storm.There's nothing too special here, just some good old fashion fun, the film is watchable, I'll say that.

...What was I thinking when I started watching this joke of a film :(This was a relatively long movie and made it feel 10x longer by terrible script and extremely poor acting. Except for one mediocre actor in the movie, the acting was so awful that it 'felt like' the mediocre character ended up sacrificing his life as he was unable to tolerate the tiresome dribble from every other character near the end of the movie. The only good thing I liked about the movie was at least they tried giving a happy-ending and not abrupt like many of the movies made nowadays.

Tom moves to Seattle to be closer to his fiancé, Emma, both of them are on their second marriage so their respective idiot offspring, the daft Wyatt and Eco idiot Chloe, are both moving in together, then a huge series of natural disasters start via a very unnatural source when the military shoots down a UFO and it crashes into the sea.As if the usual Syfy film detriments of awful special effects and equally appalling acting wasn't enough, this one added whiny bickering, cardboard clichéd annoying characters and a generally daft script to the mix. Before too long I found myself actively rooting for the Superstorm to off them all and end the film (along with my misery)

As I've said many times before, I have made no secret of disliking a vast majority of SyFy's output. A couple are tolerable without ever being great, but a lot of them are either lame or bottom-of-the-barrel. As bad as they are, there's something about their awfulness that not only is compulsive but at times can amuse me. From reading the premise, which is the sort of nothing-new, silly sort of premise, I wasn't expecting much, but Seattle Superstorm actually was worse than I expected. It, even for a low budget TV movie, is a poorly made movie, with editing so slapdash it made my head hurt and special effects that are among the most cheap-looking and cheesily used of any effects in a SyFy movie since Titanic II. The dialogue is incredibly insipid, especially about when they are talking about who is going into the tank to release the water, and the story is dull and predictable with the positioning of the manual valve in a position where anybody about to open it would die was beyond stupid. I got a good laugh with the lightning obliteration scene, but that was it. The characters are among SyFy's most irritating and stereotypical, and the acting is very poor, Esai Morales is okay, but everybody else is just bad especially the 16 year old girl who not just once but twice comes up with a save the world solution and the grandfather who acts like he is in a different film altogether.All in all, SyFy have done worse than Seattle Superstorm, but it is still a train wreck. 1/10 Bethany Cox
