Featured reviews
This is a film whose plot showed potential. Ok it's far fetched but no more than a GREAT many films that were a success. The tiny budget is obvious, with poor special effects and synthesized orchestral mood music (which never comes off). Martin Sheen is average, but he was never going to give his best performance in this kind of film. Perry does his best to hold the lead with an admirable performance, but it's the way the movie is handled that lets everybody down. It looks like the B movie it is; like some second rate TV series. The movie also contains the most poorly acted scene I have seen in any movie ever; it is not one that contains any of the lead actors though. Done properly, the plot could have carried this movie to success at least as great as Twister, but it was obvious from the outset that it was never going to happen that way.
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.
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.

I cant believe I sat through this movie until the end. Luke Perry delivers a very unconvincing acting job in a movie that has great potential but delivers nothing.
This movie isn't terrible and if it was on TV then it might be worth watching but don't spend any money on purchasing or hiring it.
The biggest problem with this movie is virtually nothing is resolved, there are a number of plot twists or important events that are simply discarded and not mentioned again. Because of this the movie ends with many, many unresolved issues.
Lets just hope they don't try for a sequel...

The late Luke perry plays doctor Ron, a meteorologist at a local school, who for some reason gets hired by general Martin sheen in order to help prevent a disaster from happening. To say this is one of the worst disaster films I've seen wouldn't be an understatement. It is pretty bad. This whole film feels like it has nothing to do with any disaster what so ever , an it makes filmsl Iike sharknado look great, which is not hard since it's a much better film. I feel bad for Perry and Sheen wasting their talents on this. Worst of all this could have had potential if it was completely re built but keep the great leads.
