Cyclone

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.

Luke Perry, (Ron Young) is required to give his experience to a renegade Air Foerce General Roberts, ( Martin Sheen) who is involved in a top secret government operation in order to control all the weather of this entire country. The secret weapon is able to be launched from an aircraft into the eye of a massive weather front off California which has great winds of over 400 mph. This storm is headed for Los Angeles and there are many struggles that happen aboard this aircraft and many people fight against each other. There is even time for men and women to find love and close relationships. Great film from 1999, enjoy.

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...

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 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.
