Mega Lightning

The bad acting, it should have stayed in the book, I would suggest to get the award winning actors instead. Plus the director has to at least give them some common sense instead of staying for the danger. Yes this is a negative review because this movie is so bad, you make "The Visit" the top rated movie compared to this!

It is an Australian movie I know, I live in a different country and yes they have movies like this too especially horror movie that the directors would have the actors to make poor choices to become victims instead of victors. It sucks but hey it's show business right? I just wish you have done better that's all. It just upsets me.

....., It's usually a sign of the "quality" of the production.

(Yeah, that's sarcasm btw,..)

The dialog is less natural then a text-to-speech bot reading a phone book, and is delivered with more wood then a Burning Man bonfire.

The camera and lighting is, a bit ordinary, zero budget with a few toys and not enough experience yet, along with the preprogrammed 'lightning' mode on basic LED lights.

Sound is good, sadly good enough to hear how bad the dialog is... As for the visual effects, even The Asylum spends more time and effort on those.

Sure, with a name like Mega Lightning, one doesn't expect awards winning performances or plot, but there's a few places where the characters simply don't do what real people would, they don't run when they should, and the do run when they wouldn't,.. the mother in the woods for instance, would not have done what she did.

The actors playing the sisters may have potential, but most of the rest show less effort or attention then required, leading to the upbeat party being more like a meeting of Depressing Performers Anonymous.

Don't waste good popcorn on this one.

I love watching low budget cheesy movies. This one is pretty bad. STUPID story line and the acting is BEYOND TERRIBLE. It's hard to watch the movie, especially with the red haired chick. She has so much lip filler in that it's even hard to look at her. I wish the lightning would of hit her lips. They are shiny, which even draws more attention to them. I don't have to many good things that I can say about this movie. I read the other reviews and figured I would give it a shot, because like a stated earlier, I love low budget cheesy movies, but this was hard to watch all the way through. All the one star ratings are actually correct on this one.

Horrible acting. No real plot. People getting struck by lightning. Cars blowing up. It just goes on and in. Boring. Does not improve at all. The so-called actors have such fake emotions and attitude, it makes this movie painful to watch. The storyline, however, could have promise if the movie, acting, etc had any kind of reality happening. The two sisters are weak, sniveling, and totally should not be acting. In fact, everyone needs to find a more suitable career. They could be better as cooks or assembly workers, but certainly not acting. In my opinion, don't waste your time watching this. Take up knitting instead.

I already typed a long peace, but when i clicked on the question mark of spoilers, i lost my text.

Bottom line. Very poor acting. Very poor movie effects. All effects seem like coming from a computer game from the early 90s. Very fake (plastic) knifes and swords. Even if a knife falls, you can hear the plastic sound. Even though it was clear that the arms were from plastic, they made mistake to also take close shots.

One hides for the enemy below a table, but legs are 30 cm out. One hides in the kitchen behind a table, but 20 of the head is above the table and still the enemy does not see that when in front of the actor and looking towards the table. Striking is not natural, and seems to hunt specific people. They also predict where the lightning strikes. Actors seem to fall for no specific reason.
