This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Did I lie awake in bed at night, unable to get to sleep, after watching this movie?Yes.Was it because of the film's tense and convincing portrayal of impending nuclear catastrophe?No.Was it because, try as I might, I just couldn't conceive how someone managed to get this film funded, even if it only cost fifty quid to make?Yes.A worthy example of one of my favourite so-bad-it's-good film genres, the 'Nearly Disaster' movie.The calibre of the dialogue, the intensity of the performances and the realism of the representation make for an all round stunner of a movie.

From Meteorology to Nuclear Physics, this film shows complete disregard for basic common sense. One security guard on duty at a nuclear power plant? How long can one tornado stay on the ground? It takes four people to run a reactor? Sharon Lawrence over acts at every opportunity and not entirely sure why her blouse is one size too small. It is so obvious that the film is written and produced by people who are prejudiced against nuclear power. Every aspect of the power plant's operation are made up and so far from truth that I wonder if it is more of a vehicle to persuade people to reject completely nuclear power, than a film with some artistic liberties. I laughed most of the way through the film. It would have earned more stars from me if they had been honest and listed the film as a comedy.

I can't imagine how this film got the green light under any circumstances. One the plot is so bad I could not make it worse if I tried. Its about a nuclear power plant in a southern locale that gets close to a meltdown because of or in tandem with Tornados.The thing that makes this movie so bad is it looks as if the nuclear power plant shots were filmed in someones basement. The pipes supposedly carrying radioactive water are way too small. The control room for the power plant look like the family room with a few more computers than normal. The pipes carrying water steam eto this reactor are way to small to fill be part of any reactor system. The door leading to the containment building is laughably small and thin.If you know anything at all about atomic power this film is hilarious for all the just couldn't happen stuff you see going on in this movie. The movie is stupid. I can not imagine why anyone would want to buy it which is why I suspect AMAZON>COM don't even carry it and you can buy almost any DVD or VHS from them..

I loved this movie but then again I am a natural disaster freak. Movies like these are my favorite type. I think that it could have been better but when a movie is made for TV people tend overlook the fact that there could have been more done to increase the worth of the movie. I think that Mark-Paul did a good job as a cop and Sharon Lawerence was believable as the shift manager. They could have added a bit more to the movie and made the movie a lot more powerful and gripping. One minute the plant is in complete danger and the next they have the answer and things going to be OK. They should have played up the disaster a bit more. It may not be the most popular movie for adults but for young adults and teens this is a great movie for them to watch and my daughter loves it. Over all the movie was very good and for people 13to 30 it is a great movie and I would give it a B. I would be tempted to give it a higher grade if they would just release it on DVD. Shows worse than this manage to make DVD why can't this one.
