To me, this movie is perfection.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Fantastic!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

A very predictable TV movie dealing with a disaster striking a leading US city. This time it's New York and electrically-charged super-tornadoes are to blame, leading to much destruction and chaos, albeit on a super-low B-movie budget.It's fair to say that NYC: TORNADO TERROR offers nothing that hasn't been done before, and better. The special effects are dodgy, the characters are cardboard and the acting wooden. There isn't even a Michael Ironside or Lance Henriksen hanging around to bring a certain quality of gruff gravitas to the proceedings.And yet, and yet, this isn't the worst I've seen. It's better than the same director's METEOR STORM, for instance. It helps that there are some unintentionally funny scenes, like when the group of survivors are menaced by a ball of lightning INSIDE a tower block. The silly special effects are easy to laugh at, as are the attempts to build a sense of overwrought menace. NYC: TORNADO TERROR is certainly a wretched production but one that provides a few laughs if you're in the right mood.

I like disaster movies. I even like the bad ones. But this - this goes beyond bad into utterly dire.The characters are walking, talking clichés straight out of better disasters movies. Every single plot point is signposted ages before it arrives, and every situation is utterly predictable.The writing and directing between them manage to suck all tension and excitement out of the story. The writing is obvious - and dull - and there is no build-up of tension at all. This is quite a talent. This writer has made a tornado hitting New York mind-numbingly dull. And the direction is of the 'point, shoot, move on to the next shot' variety.As for the effects - c'mon guys, you've been doing special effects for nearly 100 years now - you can do better than this! Don't watch this. ever. It's two hours of your life you'll never get back and you'll regret it.

I watch Sci-Fi Channel's made for TV films finding them funnier than sitcoms. Sometimes though I get very, very mad. This movie falls in the invoking rage file. I chopped this critiquing way down; this has no redeeming value. I have lots to find fault with this malarkey. Yes, flinging out major spoilers in the effort of saving others considering viewing this sci-fi disaster wind bag: Opening scene those who potentially could have been this film's best characters--including a moppet who didn't pluck my nerves two seconds exposure. Killed in plane crash.Biggest rip-off from recently debuted Cloverfiled: Ouch, portion of Statue of Liberty's broken off. It's the film's special effects highlight for which I'm rating NYC: Tornado Terror a 1. Sadly on its heels, the sucky journey in tunnels subplot. Groan inducing, present at film's coolest FX extravaganza, blonde tunnel gal in shorts--last 4 minutes of movie it's made clear to me she's niece of female protagonist. For God's sake, more than rarely, a main character expressing concern for a stranger in place of a friend or relative???? I was shocked learning in another user's comment the actress in the Cassie role had played DS9's Ezri Dax. While I had wished Ezri & Jadzia had regularly shared screen time, I don't care if Mr. & Ms. Lawrence lived or died. Dying by lightning bolt, wind, one or both, get them off my screen. This couple had wan-dumb-full chemistry; a physically attractive a waste of time. Film collaborators picked up on comprising cast overrun by fashion models, the damaged Lady Liberty concepts, why couldn't they picked up avoiding dabbling too much in scientific explanations from Cloverfield? The screenplay's off the wall in terms of science. There are long scenes involving Cassie explaining what caused the phenomena. I wished to run in the room covering the gal's mouth yelling, "Shut up, just shut up!" Earth's weather turning to that of Jupiter! CGI slapped together: Lightning strikes and falling debris occurred simultaneously but not briefest shadow for falling rubble against walls of buildings lit as if in daylight. Lights Spheres changing only in area of size and floating from wall to wall, hovering in air. Here's the ultimate joke: Cassie encounters frozen dead. Very next, scene fleet of Totos, as in shape as their walkers, whisked off to heavenly dog house--leaving frozen leashes. Where's frozen doggy corpses? Most fortunate those the script elected to die in this idiocy as fatal as humans & dogs standing in a tornado wind.

Some of these actors are rather well-known, so I was quite surprised that this movie still managed to suck so badly.Writing: sucked. Acting: meh. Story: meh. Effects: royally sucked. Physics: total b.s. Believability: really sucked (even for science fiction).Having already gone through this at Intuitor's Bad Movie Physics site with "The Day After Tomorrow", it's already been proved that these weather phenomena cannot occur. Yes, I grant that this is sci-fi, but still... it's crap.Let me sum this up for you: Oh my God, the weather is going bonkers and threatening to kill us all. The scientists have all the answers but no power or money. The bureaucrats have all the power, connections, and money but don't believe the scientists. Toss in a few lovey-dovey relationships, some untimely deaths, enough scientific facts to fool the kiddos... and you've got yourself another destructo-movie.It's dull and a waste of time unless you're cooking, cleaning, or doing some other activity that requires mindless background noise (which is sort of the Sci-Fi Original Viewing Rule I think...) I am giving this 4 because it's actually a bit more watchable than most of their drivel.
