If I could give this movie a minus score, that would be generous. This is an awful movie. Terrible plot, terrible acting, terrible writing and terrible graphics. It tries to be "Twister", but fails, miserably. And what is with Darryl Hannah's face? She has had so much plastic surgery or something, she doesn't even resemble the Darryl we all know and dislike. Maybe that's her goal, I don't know, but watching her was PAINFUL! The whole movie is painful to watch. I think it was also trying to be a "global warming" warning, but they even screwed that up. As they said themselves in the movie, "the ice age eventually melted, and man wasn't even around then". Exactly. Global warming my aunt Fanny. This was just a terrible terrible mess of a movie. I am mad at myself for losing two hours to this horrible movie.
... View Moreat first i wasn't quite sure what to make of this made for TV movie. it wasn't that bad actually, although Daryl Hannah seems quite out of place, doesn't seem to fit her character very well, the plot centers around a reporter who climbs aboard a hurricane hunting plane, they all suit up and fly through the eye of the hurricane, our main character has issues with hurricanes as when she was a little girl she lost both of her parents to one. during the film you see bits and pieces of the interview she has with her psychiatrist and you also see "flashback" of the hurricane that killed her parents when she was a child. the stormchasing sequences are very good also,, this is not a bad TV movie, and the plot seems solid enough,, i just think Daryl Hannah was out of place ,, out of her element in this film.
... View MoreThere were a total of two upside items to this film.The first was that I got a good look at the 2009 Lexus Minivan.The second was that at some point during the dry heaves I got from watching this 1 hour and 24 minutes of visual Ipecac, the popcorn husk that had been stuck to one of my tonsils became dislodged and I was able to remove it. I suppose if you were a Huge fan of both Daryl Hannah and chubby chasing you might get some small pleasure from this horrible misuse of celluloid. I can only assume that this was made in a vain attempt by Mrs. Hannah to keep some semblance of her original beauty (let's face it, no one watched SPLASH to see her act) on screen.
... View MoreThis is one of the worst movies I have ever seen; from a horrendously written story line (borrows from 'Twister' a lot) to inane dialogs and substandard acting. The second half of the movie I fast forwarded a lot because I could no longer watch Darryl Hannah's therapy flashbacks. OK, we've learned at the very beginning of the movie that she lost her parents in a storm hence her current interest in hurricanes ('Twister' rip off) but to drag those flashbacks throughout the movie was nothing more than sadistic. Nothing new was learned about her as the main character nor was it related to the development of the storyline in any significant way. The scenes would flash from a plane in distress to the calmness of her therapist's office every few minutes, thus breaking the continuity in the story. There are no special effects to alleviate the pain of watching this. As the film progressed it also dived into banality after banality. I think that there should be a fine instituted for script writers, directors, and actors who churn this kind of garbage. say, abstain form making movies for a year?
