Mega Tornado

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.

I read one of the shill reviews on here comparing this movie to Citizen Kane and the Godfather...LOL First the effects are just crap. There are scenes where everything just looks a 5 year-old's Photoshop project. I am not exaggerating. I'm not 100% sure but I think they recycle locations over and over(warehouse). The CGI looks like it's from the 90's and the interface on the monitors for the beam look like a little too simplistic for such a powerful device.

The acting is atrocious to the point of being annoying. The lines the actors were given are just as ridiculous. I'm of the mind that this was someone's idea of a joke.

The plot is so full of holes it's not even funny. I've seen better movies that portray this kind of disaster much better, Twister anyone? Save your time and money and pass this one over, or you'll regret it.

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.

Seriously silly, and so totally bad it's actually interesting, but maybe only to anyone who is familiar with Albuquerque, and has always wondered "what if" tornadoes, tsunami and other physically impossible weather villains were to afflict the city.

The special effects, such as the afore-mentioned storms personally following the family around in their car and then bearing down on some factory complex, combined with forest fires from above and at ground level were juvenile, and if you've ever wondered what it was like to wade across the Rio Grande past a floating corpse, then this movie is for you.

The chemistry between the pa, ma and junior is odd to say the least, and while at times their faces convey suitable chagrin at the sudden rain all over the Duke City, one does have to wonder how they can seem to drive all over, one scene being in the foothills, the next down by the river, and then suddenly they appear apparently up in the Sandia Mountains! I thought junior might have had the hots for his mom... strange dialog, and resentment towards dad.

Everyone they meet, which thankfully are few, are well-matched in terms of direction and acting abilities, although none of them ask "red or green"?

The wreckage they pass going up to the Tram area and elsewhere resemble newly-stripped autos more than anything from any accident, and the stray Pit Bull in one I think should have been a Prairie Dog.

Might be the only movie to start at the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival. Stick with "Breaking Bad", and "Lonely Are the Brave".

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.
