Super Cyclone

I only stumbled across this movie while channel hopping with a coffee. This is a terrible film, even if it was a "made for TV" special.

The acting is simply awful. It's like watching a bunch of Star Trek fans who have filmed their own episode! Every line is delivered with exaggerated breathless earnestness. It becomes painfully obvious that you're watching a low budget production.

The cheesy script and cheesy acting is, at least matched by the cheesy CGI. Digital rain overlaid onto the scene of a bone dry van driving down a bone dry road. Very fake looking clouds, lightning and so on.

If this film was a pizza, it'd be a quattro formaggi.

On the plus side, if you're in the right frame of mind, it's so bad that it's almost laughably enjoyable! :)

I was curious and had little else to do, so I tuned in to Super Cyclone, not expecting much but at least some watchability. In evaluation there is nothing really watchable about Super Cyclone. If there are two things at all that sank Super Cyclone the most, I have to most definitely agree with that it was the special effects and the acting. Okay I knew the special effects were not going to be great, they rarely are in low-budget movies, but you do expect to see some kind of effort. These efforts actually look as though they weren't even trying, everything looked cheap and unfinished and even when against the choppy editing and dully lit settings they looked incredibly fake. If you are looking for the worst representation of rain in any movie, look no further than Super Cyclone. And no I'm not kidding. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen, I have to agree that to call the acting terrible is an insult to the word terrible. The only person to actually looks as though they are trying is Ming-Na, and she's only okay here.

The story is another major disadvantage in Super Cyclone. No surprises, no suspense, no thrills, no sense of fun are to be found in the entire movie, considering that these are what makes a good disaster movie to say that this was a major problem is being too generous. There are far too many frustratingly stupid or insultingly unrealistic moments, it is paced in a pedantic fashion, the disaster scenes are so lifelessly done and predictable and the emotional moments are very forced, giving you little more than a who cares? vibe. The characters are stereotypical(all the disaster movie clichés and done terribly), are too bland in development to be remotely relateable to any audience and are made to do obnoxious things that not only makes you hate the character but also makes the scene further unbelievable until it was so hard to stomach. Then there is the dialogue which reeks of cheese and awkwardness, flat direction and very generic music. In conclusion, the only thing that is a disaster is the movie itself. 0/10 Bethany Cox

So bad, so awful that you just can't look away. I'm sure there are similar films out there but I haven't seen one this bad for many a year. My family kept asking me why I was watching and all I could think was it is was like watching a train crash. You know its awful but just can't look away.

So do yourself a favor. Rent, download, catch it on the box. You just need to see how it is possible that something so poorly acted, directed, edited, filmed, produced and released can ever make it onto our screen. Seriously this could have been made by an 8 year old for a school assignment.

If you want a positive out of this movie the time you take to watch it will provide a talking point, and a reference point for zero out of 5 stars!

I really thought this would be the best bad disaster movie because it starred 2 people I have actually heard of before. Then the 3rd name in the opening credits was the make-up artist, that's a huge red flag. The one unique thing about this mess is that there's no crooked oil man that caused the disaster. Just an oil man who had no idea what he was doing and a scientist named Jenna that can choke out a Marine. This is just bad all around.

Please make it stop... So bad... So stupid... Can't... process... the badness... Noooooooo!

I wish the 10 lines requirement was not in place because this movie is so bad that 10 lines are completely unnecessary. I would have to pad this with a lot of redundant adjectives. Any further commentary would suggest a level of depth that simply is not there.

I figure a 12 year old with a video camera could come up with a movie half as good as this. That's right, this movie is on par with what a 12 year old could come up with. And not even a talented 12 year old.

Should be required viewing in film schools on how NOT to make a movie.

Yes really, that bad.

10 lines yet?
