NYC: Tornado Terror Trailers

An unexplained, local split in the atmosphere causes a series of total unpredictable, yet devastating tornadoes. Rookie fireman Brian Flynn gets trapped in the underground sewage with his girlfriend, deputy mayor James 'Jim' Lawrence and climatologist Dr. Cassie Lawrence's niece Lori. Mayor Leonardo of New York initially refuses to pay proper attention to the phenomenon, a 'reelection threat', so the alert status remains too low for long. Atypical lightning discovered inside tornadoes adds unprecedented dangers. The Lawrences and aeronautics renegade Dr. Lars Liggenhorn conceive a possible solution by launching rockets, but NASA's Dr. Quinn overrules them, imposing standard silver iodine.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I'm studying in college to be a Meteorologist,and while some of the movie was a absolute joke, some of it wasn't. The truth is Global Warming has been happening.Global Warming is simple it is the earth warming. Right now we are at a standstill,but in 2012,and 2007 there was a significant amount of ice melted at higher latitudes. As for Tornadoes,and there relation to global warming nothing, or very little is connected to that yet. As for the giant ball of lightning traveling through the building that was hilarious,and stupid. I would rate this movie a 6/10 for a aspiring MeteorologistA 3/10 for a regular(3 because you may laugh through most of it)I don't know which movie has more laughs this,or batman,and robin with Arnold Schwartzanegger,Uma Thurman,Chris O'Donnell,and George Clooney*this is kind of a spoiler.

I genuinely thought this film was a comedy/parody! I had to look it up on IMDb to find out for sure!This is one seriously funny film (for all the wrong reasons!) It should be shown to all would-be film makers on the first day of class so they know NOT what to do!The script is terrible and is only made worse by what I can only describe as the kind of acting I expected when I had to endure my kid's school plays! And just when you think it can't get any worse, on comes the Weather Reporter! Never have you wanted an innocent bystander to die more!Two 'must see' parts of the film – 1) Cassie approaches a victim and asks what happened. She (shaking and shivering) points up at the sky and 2) the part which I'm going to title 'When the dogs disappear'! I wish I could list all the examples. But I'm afraid they would take longer to read than watching the film itself. This is the kind of film they should show to homeless people just so they know their life could be so much worse (they could have their name in the credits of this movie!)

This was obviously made on the back of the real life 2007 NYC twister that struck Brooklyn.The acting is as wooden as some of the trees in Central Park! Hardly any tornadoes are featured and some of the plot points are straight out of an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series! I mean a red electrical spark? The title of this TV movie is what appealed to me, and I'm glad I managed to stick it out.The actors, in their defence did the best they could with the script they got!As a previous reviewer stated, the scriptwriter does get extra kudos for not only starting the movie by killing of a kid, but also killing several dogs too...even if the dog leads did mysteriously remain in place like one of those joke dog leads!!But, its safe to say, I have seen worse!

Once again, we get a movie made by Canadian filmmakers that doesn't take place in Canada but instead the United States. Actually, given that distinctly Canadian movies tend to be boring arty stuff, I don't blame these filmmakers for trying to pass this off as an American movie. Anyway, I guess I found a few positive things in this movie. The general production values look decent - plenty of extras in the backgrounds, well-lit scenes, and looking like some decent money was spent at some point. Plus, it's hard to totally knock a movie that has the guts to not only kill kids, but dogs as well. But that's about all I found positive about this movie. Most of the computer generated effects look TERRIBLE, for one thing. The script is filled with familiar stuff like a stubborn mayor who won't listen to those who know the real danger. And calling this movie "Tornado Terror" is odd, seeing that the tornadoes only appear at the beginning and just before the end, leaving a long, dull, middle section. Move along, folks, there's nothing here you haven't seen before (and better.)
