Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Dreadfully Boring

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

My mini splurge of Asylum disaster movies concludes with 500 MPH STORM, sadly one of the worst entries I've seen in the series (although nowhere near as bad as AGE OF ICE). This one follows a set plot line that heavily copies the other films (such as SUPER CYCLONE): a determined scientist must lead his friends/family through a series of increasingly dangerous situations, while the guys back at base try to figure out a way to stop the stuff from happening.This time around, we're saddled with the ruggedly dependable Casper Van Dien, still recognisable from his STARSHIP TROOPERS days. He's the hero, given able support by Michael Beach as the 'back at base' guy, but unfortunately the rest of the cast are rubbish and the script seems entirely full of annoying characters, the worst of whom is Van Dien's son.The characters end up running the usual gamut of weather phenomenon, and there's yet another one of those ludicrous scenes in which a car is supposed to be spinning through the air while the actors pretend to be thrown about inside it. Sadly, there just isn't much of interest here even for disaster fans; a handful of fun scenes and that's about it. My favourite bit is the DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE-inspired flooding tunnel, but the rest of the production is let down by appalling production values and a resolutely dull script despite the excitement inherent in the premise.

One scene in this movie is worth the 4 stars I gave it. To escape the conveniently slow-enough storm moving behind them, the family car is driven through an empty truck container. They all scream as they drive in, including the hero, Nathan. The scene cuts between them doing a Star-Trek style shaking inside the car, flinging themselves about and pulling faces, while outside the car the same shot of the storm is repeated, including what looks like a big feather flying across the screen. We get to see the big feather 3 times and then the car emerges with them all still screaming - though they weren't screaming inside the truck container. This is the funniest part of the film but it is worth watching for the other laughs. Oh, and if all teenagers in low budget films were told to shut up as often as the hero's son, then the world would be a better place. Yeah, shut up Johnny.

It can be a 1 or a 10. It contains epic scenes and a lot of acting. At least I hope its acting, I have never seen anything like it before. At least not since I watched my kids doing their first theater performance in kindergarten. But you have to smile, its expected of you. The acting is actually horrible, the directing is horrible, the story is horrible and the special effects are amazingly bad. Watching its 84 minutes felt like 3 hours. And the only way they managed 84 minutes was by playing large parts of the movie in slow motion. Some scenes contains the worst acting I have ever seen. But this makes it kind of funny. I have actually recommended it to a couple of people because of the extremely poor quality. You got to see it. You will get scarred for life. And you will probably appreciate even slightly better movies so much more. When you watch it, you wonder why you waste your time. But the day after you fill your mind with all the epic bad scenes from yesterday and you'll get a smile on your lips. Just because it was that bad. Try it, you won't like it until the day after. It's that bad.

I gave this movie a try because the poster is promising. My goodness, this movie is awful in many angles and ways: bad acting, poor effects, lots of inconsistencies: It was raining hard and all of a sudden it's as dry as a desert. Lines are down but they still managed to make phone calls. The storm created a fire in the forest, what the hell? Only the 3 of them plus 5 crew members in the storm center knew about the 500mph storm. Awful.I know it's a low-budget movie but that's not a reason not to make it a good one. It has a potential but failed. The production should've spent half of the budget to some good graphic movie editors/artists (or whatever you call them). One simple suggestion though, when it's raining let the people get wet.
