Paul Wakefield 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.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Given the title of the movie, and the list of cast, you know what kind of movie you are in for already from the start. The title itself was an indicator of this going to be bad.The story was really thin and it was so far out there that it was just so very hard to buy into it. I mean, a scientist taking revenge by using storms and lightning because his project funding was taken away. Come on, it was just not plausible.One thing that the movie had working for it, was the semi-adequate effects. The special effects weren't all that shabby, nor were they top notch state of the art. They did, however, serve their purpose well enough and it showed what needed to be shown.The cast in the movie were not on the heavy-weight scale of acting, but there were some decent enough performances here. Just don't expect any award-winning performances.I had a hard time getting into this movie, and "Weather Wars" is just another drop in the ocean of low-budget disaster movies. There are so many similar movies out there, equally stupid and thin-storied, and it didn't extinguish itself in any particular way. There are far better disaster-themed movies out there. "Weather Wars" might be worth a watch if you are a fan of anyone on the cast list, but otherwise it is a stale lukewarm experience.Having seen the movie, I can honestly say that it is not a movie that will make it to my screen a second time.

filmblogger82 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!

jaybird023 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.
