Man I thought this movie was great! Had tons of action and I enjoyed the story. Not sure why other users gave this such low ratings. I say give this movie a chance!

And when I say good, I don't mean like excellent. But it's good, you should not be offended by it. I never watched this in the cinema, where I guess the movie might have impacted some people more than others. I don't even want to go near a comparisson with Jurassic Park (way better handled overall as a movie), but when it comes to story vs. technical achievements, there are similarities ... also when it comes to what you consider to help like a movie more or less.

Butler is doing his thing and everyone else tries their best, but there is not much there. Some technical talk that may or may not make sense (I didn't really pay attention), with just a smudge of social commentary (climate change and all that) ... the main point is the movie tries to entertain and achieves that to a certain degree. Not quality time, but if you're into it ...

This film is Science Fiction. Let me repeat..SCIENC FICTION. I thought it was entertaining. However, I see other "critics" basing their opinions on the fact that this film was too fake, bad science. Seriously? Look, if you look for realism in film, stop watching film. If you look for realism in science fiction films then don't watch Alien (or it's sequels), Avatar, Terminator, Ghostbusters, 2010...in fact, stop watching science fiction movies all together. Read biographies. My opinion, this movie was entertaining. Nothing more. A good time waist like any other science fiction film. People have to stop looking into syfy for some deep meaning or realism otherwise it makes no sense to even watch them. They're not called science fact films people. It's about imagination.

Get your popcorn ready, sit back and relax, don't judge, just enjoy the special effects and the utter implausibility. It's pure fun if you look at it that way.

Alternatively you could analyse, criticise and hate....... the choice is yours.

This is an action-packed movie that will entertain you; and you will feel pretty okay about what you've just witnessed.

Very nice special effects. The storms were nicely done. CGI was convincing.

Why I think this works better than other "Natural Disaster" films is because they did not revolve the plot around the storms...the storms were just the vehicle of destruction used. It's more like a Live Free Or Die Hard conspiracy, but instead of hi-jacking the IoT, they are hi-jacking weather control satellites.

Good CGI, a fun movie.

7/10

*Had Bruce Willis been in it... would have made it an 8.5
