Featured reviews
This movie is not worth the time taken to watch it. Luke Perry should stick to acting in soaps, where by he can relay on his looks to see him true the show. I would say that Martin Sheen was the most convincing of the whole lot and was a waste that he had agreed to act and degrade his name with such trash such as Storm. The story takes the line of an UN REAL plot where they are playing god by manipulating the weather. Special effects and acting is below par and like I said it is fit for the bin and no where else.
I think the summary says it all. I can't believe I rented it.
I don't normally write scathing reviews of movies but I wasted six bucks and nearly two hours on it, so it has to be done.
You might expect this kind of movie from Luke Perry, but I thought that Martin Sheen might have been above doing movies like this one.
Generally, the standard of acting was terrible. Perry should stick to teeny-soaps, where acting is not a prerequisite. Whoever cast him as a meteorologist should be flogged to death with a wet cat.
Sheen is better but still unconvincing in the role of the renegade Airforce officer.
The special effects were so fake you could practically see the fishing line. The last minute double-cross in the plot could have worked except for the wooden acting which killed it.
In conclusion it's a waste of perfectly good video tape. I give it a great big ZERO out of ten.

I have said this many times before, this time I'm more serious than ever, this is one of the worst films in existence. I have also said before that films like this, should stretch the laughable script a bit further and make it spoof. You could even bring the Neilsen in. This film reminds me of Airborne - that one with the Guttenberg in it. Airborne was atrocious as well, but I actually quite enjoyed Airborne partly because the Kim Coates was in it.
There is a great scene at the end of Storm where the hero, Luke Perry (don't laugh), has been dragged out the end of an aeroplane (the plane is about 20,000 feet in the air, about 800 mph) and manages to hold on to the missile which is attached to the plane with his bare hands. He then manages to crawl up the missile and drag himself back into the aeroplane, unscathed.
Ridiculous.

Normally I try to say something good about every movie that I write a review for, but what to do when there is absolutely nothing good to say about a movie??? I'm in this situation right now: Storm is one of the worst movies that I've ever seen. It's incredible what kind of crap Hollywood produces from time to time.
Let's be honest: a movie doesn't always have to be intelligent, as long as it is entertaining. But this one isn't entertaining nor intelligent. It was only annoying. Not only annoying because of the acting, but also because of the bad special effects, the weak story (scientists working for the army try to influence weather so they can hit other nations with it)...
I really can't find a reason why I should ever see this one again or why I should ever recommend it to anybody. No, I give this one a 2/10 and hope to forget it as soon as possible.

The Storm is so cheesy, so fake that it's not even funny to watch. Terrible special effects, not only feeling fake, but looking fake too. Aside of terrible acting, we get to watch unconvincing plot too. To summarise: a disaster movie with almost no casualties, and with a happy ending.
