For real?

Given the title of the movie, and the list of cast, you know what kind of movie you are in for already from the start. The title itself was an indicator of this going to be bad.

The story was really thin and it was so far out there that it was just so very hard to buy into it. I mean, a scientist taking revenge by using storms and lightning because his project funding was taken away. Come on, it was just not plausible.

One thing that the movie had working for it, was the semi-adequate effects. The special effects weren't all that shabby, nor were they top notch state of the art. They did, however, serve their purpose well enough and it showed what needed to be shown.

The cast in the movie were not on the heavy-weight scale of acting, but there were some decent enough performances here. Just don't expect any award-winning performances.

I had a hard time getting into this movie, and "Weather Wars" is just another drop in the ocean of low-budget disaster movies. There are so many similar movies out there, equally stupid and thin-storied, and it didn't extinguish itself in any particular way. There are far better disaster-themed movies out there. "Weather Wars" might be worth a watch if you are a fan of anyone on the cast list, but otherwise it is a stale lukewarm experience.

Having seen the movie, I can honestly say that it is not a movie that will make it to my screen a second time.

I'd give this movie a 0 but that's not available.

The best thing that can be said about this movie is that they spent money on special effects.

Otherwise the screenplay wasn't good, the acting was sub-par, and the storyline just atrocious.

I've seen a lot better movies on ScyFy before and this was definitely not one of their better attempts.

I recommend you avoid this one unless you want to see a bad television movie.

I'd basically give this movie a 0 but that's not available so I'm sticking with 1 star because it's really just that bad.

Not enough action.....

This movie was just ok. Not enough action. Plot was just ok, the effects were good and the acting was less....if a sequel is done, Hope that would be a better movie

SyFy junk

WEATHER WARS is another piece of junk that comes to us courtesy of the SyFy Channel. The title of this one is a misnomer, as for a disaster flick there's remarkably little disaster. There are a couple of cool special effects sequences in which a glowing ball of energy wreaks havoc, but - and I guess it was because of budgetary constraints - the template for WEATHER WARS is more of a police thriller.

The storyline sees a shameless Stacy Keach playing a mega-villain, a former government employee who's lost his career and who decides to take revenge on those responsible. The only people with the power to stop him are his own sons, who must team up to track him down while they themselves are being pursued by the authorities.

It's all very silly and lacklustre, with an almost entire lack of the kind of suspense that this thriller demands. The script is terrible and the calibre of the cast is particularly poor; Jason London's wooden hero is the best on offer here but others, like token pretty female Erin Cahill, are completely awful. Watching the hammy Keach chewing the scenery isn't much better. No, WEATHER WARS is a film which fails to live up to that promising title, and one which is even worse than the average Asylum disaster flick.

Missed one vital asset...

BOOBS! That's the way bad movies are supposed to work.. We watch their implausible snooze fests and all the adverts in-between in return for some boobs.. This deal has been on since movies began. So how did we get short changed with Weather Wars?..

I sat through this entire thing with my finger on the pause button ready for that special shot and nothing came! I felt ripped off and humiliated, sat in my underpants on a cold January evening. Was anyone else feeling burnt?

At least if the film was decent I would have let it pass, but it wasn't. It had all the ingredients for a boob shot.. bad acting, cute chick, explosions and a horny scientist. So what gives? The closest thing was when the scientist got out his iPhone and I thought he was going to go on some porn sites but instead he started controlling the weather. zzZ. I'm not happy.

Anecdotes
At one point, Samantha Winter quotes Clarke's Third Law, leading to Senator Aldrich asking "Who's Clarke?" Clarke, of course, is the science fiction writer Arthur C Clarke whose work includes 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

Marcus: [Address on the Television] My fellow Washingtonians, my name is Dr. Marcus Grange. And I come before you today with a warning. As you reel from the desecration of yet another symbol of your great democracy, know that this is just a balancing of the scales. The ignorance and petty political games of your elected representatives have caused untold damage to science. They're the ones who have brought this retribution down on your heads, and none bear more responsibility than Senator Jason Aldrich. Senator, you like to talk about drawing a line in the sand when it comes to government waste. What about the waste of years of a man's life, hm? Breakthroughs that will never be made because you valued the almighty dollar above the pursuit of knowledge. I'm here to tell you that this is just the beginning. The people of this city will continue to pay for what you've done, and when I'm through, if you're not already dead, the survivors will run you out of the ruins on a rail. Just think: if you hadn't canceled Thunderhead, you'd be able to do what I can do. Control the weather itself. I've realized a dream that men have had since the dawn of time. The desecration of yet another symbol of your great democracy. Petty, political games have caused untold damage to science. I am Thor, I am the God of Storms, and I will have my revenge! The almighty dollar above the pursuit of knowledge. But this is... the beginning.
