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.

I was bought Weather Wars (aka Storm Wars) as a joke gift DVD. In the UK, the DVD cover shows a flooded Capitol Hill with with the Supreme Court building being "attacked" by a twister. Odd, because there's no flood in the movie.The discrepancy becomes bigger when you read the description on the back of the DVD box: "A young scientist revels in the creation of a supercomputer that can stop the effects of climate change and catastrophic weather. When the computer's 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..." Sounds great, huh? Kind of Day After Tomorrow meets Terminator. Only that description bears no relevance to the plot of the movie. In the film, the young scientist is chasing down his own deranged father, who has somehow learnt to control the weather and is wreaking revenge on the US Government. No super-computer with advanced AI is ever mentioned.In saying that, what they've produced is actually okay. The plot's a bit silly but the performances and SFX are reasonably for what's obviously a low-budget movie.**SPOILER** The end leaves the door open for a sequel. That probably shouldn't happen.

BOOBS! That's the way bad movies are supposed to work.. We watch their implausible snooze fests and all the adverts in-between in return for some boobs.. This deal has been on since movies began. So how did we get short changed with Weather Wars?..I sat through this entire thing with my finger on the pause button ready for that special shot and nothing came! I felt ripped off and humiliated, sat in my underpants on a cold January evening. Was anyone else feeling burnt?At least if the film was decent I would have let it pass, but it wasn't. It had all the ingredients for a boob shot.. bad acting, cute chick, explosions and a horny scientist. So what gives? The closest thing was when the scientist got out his iPhone and I thought he was going to go on some porn sites but instead he started controlling the weather. zzZ. I'm not happy.

I really enjoyed the movie. However, there were moments that I felt like I was watching a movie on Hallmark or Lifetime. My wife enjoyed the relationships between the brothers and Samantha love triangle and the father reuniting with his son at the end of the movie. When my wife is enjoying a movie, it normally means that she and her girlfriends are huddled up around the TV watching a chick flick. I twisted her arm to watch it with me and she gave it a 9 and I gave it a 5, so the average is 7 which is what I rate this movie. I thought that Stacey Keach did a great job as well as Jason London, Erin Cahill, and Wes Brown (who I had never heard of before, but he is working on a lot of current TV series based on IMDb resume). So, if you are looking for a real movie, Storm War is a good choice! But, if you want another campy SyFy movie with horrible effects, poor lighting, and laughable acting...then you shouldn't watch this movie! Storm War was in no way perfect. The senator was a really bad actor...he didn't even know what he was saying sometimes. Long time television actor Gary Grubbs even looked like he was off his game. The main characters are all solid, but the supporting cast were average at best. The visual effects were actually really really good and way better than I expected from a SyFy movie. So, there are lots of things that I liked about this movie and some that I didn't like...but overall it is worth the watch!
