La Colère du ciel

How bad can a made for TV movie get? We may have a new standard here. Besides the fact none of this movie made any sense which I can tolerate, the writing and acting was so bad it makes me think that even I could make living writing cable movies using nothing but tired clichés and nonsensical plot lines.

I just love the fact that as the world is about to be destroyed, all that these wooden characters could talk about was how they were going to reconcile their unbelievably mundane family issues. It was almost as if the supposed devastating lightning storm (which we see destroy various world monuments in what can only be described as "Plan 9 from Outer Space" quality special effects) was a subplot.

I saw this at 2 AM after getting home from a function and not being able to sleep. It was either this mess or paid programming, I regret not turning to watch the Ronco guy.

Interesting concept, tho a lot of time was wasted on the usual academic in-fighting and the sub-plot of Pacula raising her sister's son was not really necessary to the plot and, in my opinion, distractd from it.

This is one of those movies that is so bad it's good. Some writer somewhere heard the term "positive lightning" and decided to create a whole script around it. A great drinking game would be to take a chug every time someone says, "Positive lightning." I especially enjoyed when lighting would follow a pole or wire slowly enough that people could react and jump out of the way. Or better yet, slowly enough that someone could outrun the lightning and push someone else out of the way. The science in this movie is so awful I really would not know where to start. I did not catch much of the human drama, because I was laughing too hard at the cheesy special effects and mangled physics. (Someone really needs to tell these scientists what a Faraday cage is.)

this movie is too melodramatic at times and gets bogged down in dialogue and subplots that don't really advance the story,in my opinion.the acting is not bad,especially from Noel Fisher who plays Jeremy Landis,the teenage son of the lead female character Dr.Valery Landis(Joanna Pacula)a weather specialist.there is at least 1 positive thing about the movie,and that is the scenes involving the lightning storms.the effects are fairly well done, int his regard.i certainly didn't hate this movie,but i do wish it had focused more on the storm aspect than the family issues.it kind of felt like 1 of those 'Lifetime' channel movies.if you don't mind that kind of movie,then you will probably like this 1.if not,you might want to avoid it.i'd have to say this movie is average,so 5/10 seems fair.

Lightning: Bolts of Destruction is a film made for television in special effects wise. The story line is one that you see in most weather movies. It's the dark side of nature at its brightest. The movies links the past with the future and the present on different planets. It's a must see for any weather fan.
