sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** Not all that bad direct to video movie involving the manipulation of storms and hurricanes by a rouge unit of the CIA.It's this playing God that in the end jeopardizes the city of Los Angeles when the person in charge of this black ops operation Gen. James Roberts, Martain Sheen, is found out, in what he's really up to, by the two top man running the project Doctors Ron Young & Daniel Platt, Luke Perry & David Moses. It turns out that Gen. Roberts has been involved in weather manipulation since he was in Vietnam and now he's doing it here in the US. This has cost over the years hundreds of people to be killed in a number of man made hurricanes, like Andrews in August 1992, that the General had created with this gadget of his, an in flight electro magnetic generator,in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.Working secretly with the major oil companies Gen. Roberts is now, without those under him knowing, planning to start up a major five category hurricane, or typhoon, on the west coast of Mexico. This mad plan on Gen. Roberts' part is to devastate that country and force it to both come to he US for emergency aid as well as stop, which is the real reason of Roberts plan, from nationalizing it's oil wells! An act that in effect would put the international oil companies, that Roberts is working for, out of business!Not as far fetched as you would think since manipulating the weather is a fool proof method of causing havoc on a nations population and military establishment without, being that it's an Act of God, those doing it being blamed for it! And thus rule out military retaliation by the targeted country.It's when both Dr. Young and Platt get wind, no pun intended, of Gen. Roberts insane plan of wiping out an entire Mexican town with it's thousands of inhabitants that they go into action in bringing his mad dream of both controlling the weather and thus the world to an end.Like a genie let out of a bottle once Gen. Roberts plan was set into motion it was almost impossible to stop it. Dr. Platt in refusing to both intensify and then guide, with the electro magnetic generator, the Pacific typhoon to make landfall is murdered, or orders of Gen, Roberts, by his co-pilot before he could guide the storm back to sea.***SPOILERS*** It's now up to Dr. Young who at the time is under arrest, in him being set up by Roberts in a hit and run accident, to both finish the job that the ill fated Dr. Platt started! With the now rampaging killer storm, with the out of control electro magnetic generator guiding it, heading straight for Los angles it's up to Dr. Young to keep it from making landfall and wiping the city off the map. It's also in Gen Roberts best interest to get Dr. Young freed to do the job or else he'll have to answer for the deaths of thousands of American citizens. What Roberts is also planning is to disappeared, or have murdered, Dr. Young after he completed his mission!Better then you would expect since we've been hit by a number of 3 4 and 5 category hurricanes, like depicted in the movie, over the last few years since the film "Storm Tracker" was released. Like were told in the movie, by non other then the deranged Gen. Roberts, that the weather can be the most effective weapon of mass destruction in history. In that its both impersonal and deathly effective at the same time. It was the very ironic fact that Gen. Roberts grandiose plan of using the weather to achieve his, and those who employ him, aims had finally been made public, by Dr. Young, that had him offed by the very people that he was working for!

gregaperkin This is a film whose plot showed potential. Ok it's far fetched but no more than a GREAT many films that were a success. The tiny budget is obvious, with poor special effects and synthesized orchestral mood music (which never comes off). Martin Sheen is average, but he was never going to give his best performance in this kind of film. Perry does his best to hold the lead with an admirable performance, but it's the way the movie is handled that lets everybody down. It looks like the B movie it is; like some second rate TV series. The movie also contains the most poorly acted scene I have seen in any movie ever; it is not one that contains any of the lead actors though. Done properly, the plot could have carried this movie to success at least as great as Twister, but it was obvious from the outset that it was never going to happen that way.

alfaman This movie is not worth the time taken to watch it. Luke Perry should stick to acting in soaps, where by he can relay on his looks to see him true the show. I would say that Martin Sheen was the most convincing of the whole lot and was a waste that he had agreed to act and degrade his name with such trash such as Storm. The story takes the line of an UN REAL plot where they are playing god by manipulating the weather. Special effects and acting is below par and like I said it is fit for the bin and no where else.
