The only two things I liked in this film were Stacy Keach's craggy face and his utterance of the word "nigh." The premise of this Syfy stinker is inane: Crazy weather scientist gets dissed at Senate hearing and decides to take revenge on the world -- by destroying it.Keach is the only known actor in this film and his recognizability adds a smidgen of interest as he rants between a sandwich board, warning of Armageddon. No one in surrounding D.C. would ever suspect this grizzled hobo of possessing an iPhone -- let alone being able to use it to wreak meteorological mayhem. I watched this with my 10-year-old and when I complained of implausibility, he defended the plot, saying, "He's a scientist!" as if to account for the loon's awesome powers. The outlandish storyline here resolves in a surprisingly humdrum way. (How many previous movie villains have dangled by a hand, then dropped?) In all, this was very, very silly with a few OK weather effects.

Okay, Storm War( aka Weather Wars) is not a good film, but I didn't think it was a terrible film either, better if not by much than the usual standards of SyFy movies. I did think the special effects and acting are a little above average, especially compared to the shoddy effects and non-existent acting plaguing other Syfy movies, and the photography was decent. However there a lot wrong with it, and it is a lot of the usual problems, cheesy dialogue, editing that can be all over the map, stereotypical and bland characters, a structurally thin and implausible(especially the main idea) story and a predictable ending. In conclusion, not terrible, not good, if anything I got a very lukewarm experience out of it. 4/10 Bethany Cox

I would start by quoting from the DVD release here in the UK "A Young Scientist revels in his creation of a supercomputer that can stop the effects of climate change and catastrophic weather. When the computers artificial intelligence advances, it creates deadly storms to stop the military from controlling it or shutting it down. It's up to the scientist to outsmart his own creation, survive the disasters unleashed upon him and save the planet from devastation".With that in mind I paid a fiver for this film, knowing not to expect miracles, but obviously I was hoping to watch a different film to the one described and reviewed here on IMDb.So to the person who wrote the review on the DVD case may I suggest that you actually WATCH a movie before writing a summary, it would help us to decide what we want to watch.As for the film, I would mostly agree with the other people who have commented on it, the special effects were not that bad for what I presume was a TV movie, Stacey Keach, a little over the top with his acting at times,but I have seen him in a number of movies and I believe he deserves better movies from time to time (Unless I have missed his best works).The ending was,lets say, predictable but I won't say anything other than that.It seemed at times to borrow from the big screen version of the British TV series the Avengers when Sean Connery was controlling the weather and Big Ben got hit by lightning.I am going to give it a five rating as I think it deserves more than it has been credited for, I have seen a lot worse in disaster films (I have seen a lot better also) and I am sure SyFy and others will continue to make these type of films and they are getting better in the effects department, just need to put better scripts together to make the movies work better with audiences.Meanwhile I will be looking through the Internet to see if there is a DVD cover that actually describes the movie on the disc and not one that someone has dreamt up whilst reading a sci fi book.

The best thing that can be said about this movie is that they spent money on special effects.Otherwise the screenplay wasn't good, the acting was sub-par, and the storyline just atrocious.I've seen a lot better movies on ScyFy before and this was definitely not one of their better attempts.I recommend you avoid this one unless you want to see a bad television movie.I'd basically give this movie a 0 but that's not available so I'm sticking with 1 star because it's really just that bad.
