500 MPH Storm

not going to do an in-depth review, i just want to point out that i went into this movie after seeing the bad reviews expecting a bad film and boy i got one, my main gripe was the acting from the 3 main characters, it was so wooden, lines were repeated over n over and the seriousness of the whole situation wasn't portrayed at all, i got to about 15 mins in and was tempted to knock it off, but i held on and began to wish, the storm would just kill everyone, so the credits would role sooner, the effects, plot and acting all let this movie down and i would recommend nobody watch it. i might add that i love low budget movies as they tend to be a bit more interesting that a lot of blockbusters, but there was sadly nothing about '500 MPH Storm' i could say was anything more that terrible.

I know this was before Fire Twister but I watched them out of order so I didn't get to point out that they are the same movie on my review of that mess. The only difference is that in this movie they combined the characters of the scientist who knows how to stop it and the hunky action hero into one role for Casper Van Dien. It's extremely odd that he was the star of both movies but they were written and directed by different people. Just like the fire twister, the 500 MPH Storm only follows him and yet he has no problem avoiding it. Of course the cgi is terrible and the dialogue is some of the worst to ever be captured on film. The conversations Van Dien has with his family are brutal. The only cool thing about this movie was that there was a Spider-Ham hot air balloon. I'd only recommend watching this if you are going to watch Fire Twister also so you can see that they are the same movie.

Over the years I've seen a bunch of bad movies and I thought it cant get worse ... well, till I saw this disaster. No worries about a spoiler. I can't tell the end!.

The worst acting I have ever seen. Awful special F/X, unbelievable Storm (when it's 500mph how can a regular car escape without any troubles), weather, fire (even I can do better with AfterEffects), 3D Animations what so ever computer effects ...

My Summery: I would rather be tortured with a 24h Teletubbies Marathon than watching this movie again or be forced to watch the rest. Who ever financed that movie mus have too much money. In that case he can write me a cheque.

My mini splurge of Asylum disaster movies concludes with 500 MPH STORM, sadly one of the worst entries I've seen in the series (although nowhere near as bad as AGE OF ICE). This one follows a set plot line that heavily copies the other films (such as SUPER CYCLONE): a determined scientist must lead his friends/family through a series of increasingly dangerous situations, while the guys back at base try to figure out a way to stop the stuff from happening.

This time around, we're saddled with the ruggedly dependable Casper Van Dien, still recognisable from his STARSHIP TROOPERS days. He's the hero, given able support by Michael Beach as the 'back at base' guy, but unfortunately the rest of the cast are rubbish and the script seems entirely full of annoying characters, the worst of whom is Van Dien's son.

The characters end up running the usual gamut of weather phenomenon, and there's yet another one of those ludicrous scenes in which a car is supposed to be spinning through the air while the actors pretend to be thrown about inside it. Sadly, there just isn't much of interest here even for disaster fans; a handful of fun scenes and that's about it. My favourite bit is the DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE-inspired flooding tunnel, but the rest of the production is let down by appalling production values and a resolutely dull script despite the excitement inherent in the premise.

let your enemies watch this movie. you will not be a suspect. because they will die of heart attack because the movie sucks big time! what the H is Casper doing in this crap. my 4th year class could make a better movie than this director. if there is lower than 1 rating, this will be the movie. WORST MOVIE EVER!!! i didn't even finished it because it's disgusting!! the CGI is like a grade school doing it. the actors sucks big time. the costumes, everything sucks in this movie. I could write all the invectives in this movie and it would not be enough to describe this terrible movie. It really sucks big time. I wonder why IMDb included this in there list.
