Nuclear Hurricane

Its a movie trying to be serious but becomes laughably bad. A movie that's fun to make fun of.

I found this to be a really boring disaster movie that I watched. The idea on combining a nuclear meltdown and hurricane isn't a bad idea and could show how much in danger the characters are in. But the results are pretty bad. The whole nuclear meltdown is really boring since its more of a waiting game with two characters trying to deal with this AI while waiting for someone. The AI is the worst part about the movie since it won't shut up and keep repeating lines throughout. And isn't that smart since it the one who almost cause the disaster. The hurricane part feel like a afterthought since it not brought up that much and there is no danger from it. Even they added in things that has no purpose like the pregnant woman. Also, the minor plotline with that business guy is completely forgotten near the end of the movie. The characters are mostly bland and doesn't have anything interesting about them. And the acting itself feel stiff and some feel like it dub in. The ending ends abruptly and is disappointing.

Nuclear Hurricane is best forgotten and should not be watched.

Saw it on Prime, had a sandwich and diet coke. Thought I was on a coaster of a ride, but never thought I was seeing a crash. First 10 minutes was a thing about a helicopter rescue gone bad, never would think that was the best part of the movie. I love stinker movies, but this is very hard to watch.

One cliché after another that fuels some awful acting. There is a lame attempt at a lesbian relationship, that would make any lesbian cringe. The programmer keeps trying to hit on the heroine, her partner, the sheriff. There is a hurricane and the probability of a nuclear plant meltdown, yet the 'maintenance man' is more concerned with eating and his lunch break - right up to the last five minutes of this disaster. A woman gives birth in a barn in the middle of a hurricane and immediately thereafter is able to run briskly up the road to a house as if she had just made toast where she, the sheriff, and the clueless programmer are met with, "oh a baby!" I won't waste the reader's time writing about the dreadful writing, acting, editing, production (de)-values in this waste of film. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

The title makes this sound like one of those dodgy disaster flicks knocked out by The Asylum but I'm afraid to say that NUCLEAR HURRICANE is even worse: it's a film with two separate story lines, one involving a renegade computer at a nuclear plant and the other involving a hurricane, that have zero to do with each other despite the scriptwriter's attempts to stitch the two strands together.

This is badly written indeed, a film that jumps all over the place with characters and sequences and makes little sense as a whole. There are whole interludes which are just put there to try to drag the running time out to make this reach feature length, and of course that makes for a very boring film. At least it's adequately shot, but given Fred Olen Ray's copious genre experience I wouldn't expect otherwise.

What's notable here is that the script contains some truly abysmal humour, and the actors can't help but deliver it in a most stilted way. I even felt sorry for them on occasion. The hurricane stuff is so routine it's not even worth mentioning, but the 'evil' computer stuff is a little more fun, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY rip-off though it is. Jamie Luner and Jack Scalia are really slumming it here. One thing the other reviewers didn't mention is that the film features Gil Gerard and Erin Gray teaming up on-screen together after their roles in the fondly-remembered BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY, although both have aged so much that you could be forgiven for not recognising them.
