Synopsis

An unexplained, local split in the atmosphere causes a series of total unpredictable, yet devastating tornadoes. Rookie fireman Brian Flynn gets trapped in the underground sewage with his girlfriend, deputy mayor James 'Jim' Lawrence and climatologist Dr. Cassie Lawrence's niece Lori. Mayor Leonardo of New York initially refuses to pay proper attention to the phenomenon, a 'reelection threat', so the alert status remains too low for long. Atypical lightning discovered inside tornadoes adds unprecedented dangers. The Lawrences and aeronautics renegade Dr. Lars Liggenhorn conceive a possible solution by launching rockets, but NASA's Dr. Quinn overrules them, imposing standard silver iodine.

Michael Alleyne I genuinely thought this film was a comedy/parody! I had to look it up on IMDb to find out for sure!This is one seriously funny film (for all the wrong reasons!) It should be shown to all would-be film makers on the first day of class so they know NOT what to do!The script is terrible and is only made worse by what I can only describe as the kind of acting I expected when I had to endure my kid's school plays! And just when you think it can't get any worse, on comes the Weather Reporter! Never have you wanted an innocent bystander to die more!Two 'must see' parts of the film – 1) Cassie approaches a victim and asks what happened. She (shaking and shivering) points up at the sky and 2) the part which I'm going to title 'When the dogs disappear'! I wish I could list all the examples. But I'm afraid they would take longer to read than watching the film itself. This is the kind of film they should show to homeless people just so they know their life could be so much worse (they could have their name in the credits of this movie!)
Michael O'Keefe The Sci-Fi Channel's made-for-TV movie finds New York City once again the target of a perilous situation. This time a super storm creates miniature whirlwinds that are hints of things to come. A thick headed Mayor Leonardo(Jerry Wasserman)is hard to convince that his city is about to be struck by the biggest tornado in its history. Keeping on the top of the situation is the Deputy Mayor Jim Lawrence(Sebastian Spense)and his meteorologist wife Cassie(Nicole de Boer). It will only be a matter of time before the "baby" tornadoes form into a humongous one. An early victim is Lady Liberty, who loses her torch-bearing arm. The CGI is decent; but the story line is so predictable. Other players include: Colby Johnson, Jill Morrison, Samantha Ferris, and Winston Rekert.
James Donnelly This was obviously made on the back of the real life 2007 NYC twister that struck Brooklyn.The acting is as wooden as some of the trees in Central Park! Hardly any tornadoes are featured and some of the plot points are straight out of an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series! I mean a red electrical spark? The title of this TV movie is what appealed to me, and I'm glad I managed to stick it out.The actors, in their defence did the best they could with the script they got!As a previous reviewer stated, the scriptwriter does get extra kudos for not only starting the movie by killing of a kid, but also killing several dogs too...even if the dog leads did mysteriously remain in place like one of those joke dog leads!!But, its safe to say, I have seen worse!
hlmovieman Possibly (one of) the worst TV films ever.A huge atmospheric problem centred over the US, as usual, has a grudge against New York and its inhabitants. Apparently global warming is here to bite Americans in the ass.Besides the annoying TV newslady commentating throughout the movie, far harder to watch is the very crappy special fx. The acting is cringeworthy, but this isn't to say that the actors can't act. Well, they can't in this one, but I think that has more to do with the ridiculous dialogue and poor directing.Actually, this movie has really got me bored. I may have finished watching it, but I couldn't bother to carry on writing about it. DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS ONE!!!
