    The only terror here is an uninteresting film

    The film has brief moments of attention grab like the disaster sequences, other than that you start to lose your interest in the film after those parts are done. The movie suffers from a slow pace and a plot that is dull.

    NYC: Tornado Terror is terrible, I recommend you only watch the film if your expectations are low or if you're watching only for the action.

    A Disasterous Film of a Disaster !

    It is fortuitous that most Canadians look like Americans , and not like say Mexicans ... and most speak almost the same language ... otherwise it would be very difficult to replicate Vancouver as New York !!

    This disaster movie is a disaster in itself , and what still puzzles me is that producers keep providing capital for dumb TV movies like this one ... so there must be money in it otherwise no one would risk their cash on a film with the Statue of Liberty' arm and torch (along with spectators) flying off in a "tornado" and landing in a park !

    The "New York" mayor looked concerned at the number of fans used to blow people around ... but all that was surely in the cause of artistic reality ... In the end , 2 or 3 people manage to rescue the "situation" , but no one bothered to inform G W Bush of what was going on !

    Please don't watch !

    Shiny Shite in Circles

    Possibly (one of) the worst TV films ever.

    A huge atmospheric problem centred over the US, as usual, has a grudge against New York and its inhabitants. Apparently global warming is here to bite Americans in the ass.

    Besides the annoying TV newslady commentating throughout the movie, far harder to watch is the very crappy special fx. The acting is cringeworthy, but this isn't to say that the actors can't act. Well, they can't in this one, but I think that has more to do with the ridiculous dialogue and poor directing.

    Actually, this movie has really got me bored. I may have finished watching it, but I couldn't bother to carry on writing about it. DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS ONE!!!

    A Must-See (for all the wrong reasons!)

    I genuinely thought this film was a comedy/parody! I had to look it up on IMDb to find out for sure!

    This is one seriously funny film (for all the wrong reasons!) It should be shown to all would-be film makers on the first day of class so they know NOT what to do!

    The script is terrible and is only made worse by what I can only describe as the kind of acting I expected when I had to endure my kid's school plays! And just when you think it can't get any worse, on comes the Weather Reporter! Never have you wanted an innocent bystander to die more!

    Two 'must see' parts of the film – 1) Cassie approaches a victim and asks what happened. She (shaking and shivering) points up at the sky and 2) the part which I'm going to title 'When the dogs disappear'! I wish I could list all the examples. But I'm afraid they would take longer to read than watching the film itself.

    This is the kind of film they should show to homeless people just so they know their life could be so much worse (they could have their name in the credits of this movie!)

    How come this always happens to NYC?

    de Boer stars as a meteorologist who witnesses something unbelievable and (no surprise, since she's the lead) is the only one who can provide an answer as to what's going on. She can even provide a solution to the problem, but (big surprise here) the mayor thinks she's a fruitcake and there's no real threat to the city.

    Usually someone like de Boer is what attracts me to a film like this, as I liked her when she co-starred in the final years of "Star Trek: DS9." But I'm a weather freak when it comes to tornadoes and I usually watch whatever film comes on and I see it in the guide. I apologize for the sarcasm as far as "no surprise...big surprise," but it seems like film writers and directors can't seem to get your attention unless it happens in a city like New York City. About the only thing that I find real is the attitude of the mayor and I found myself being reminded of the mayor of New York in "Ghostbusters." I guess that's why they need to make this sort of thing happen in NYC, as anyone in the central part of the US, who live with tornadoes every summer, realize the threat, but you need millions and millions of people in a centralized area to not take cover when something like this would happen.

    There's no way I could give a movie like this anything above two stars. It ranks right up there with the movie I saw about volcanoes in the Big Apple last year!

    • Trivia
      Although it's mentioned by any character, a tornado is measured by its destructive force with the Fujita's Scale. It was named after Tetsuya Fujita, who in 1971 in collaboration with Allan Pearson created a scale to differentiate a twister according the wind speed:

      F0: 60-117 km/h or 45-72 mph (light damage).

      F1: 117-181 km/h or 73-112 mph (moderate damage).

      F2: 181-250 km/h or 113-157 mph (significant damage).

      F3: 250-320 km/h or 158-206 mph (severe damage).

      F4: 320-420 km/h or 207-260 mph (devastating damage).

      F5: 420-510 km/h or 261-308 mph (incredible damage).

      F6: 510-610 km/h or 309-379 mph (altough initially Fujita scale have five marks, in 1999 a tornado located in Bridge CreekMoore, Oklahoma, devastated with a force more powerful never seen before. It was the only one F6 registered in history, despite The United States National Weather Service officially maintains that the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado was a F5, not F6).

      This is a Canadian film made in Vancouver but is set in the US. One sees many yellow NYC cabs, but in an early shot one sees a building at the front of which flies only a Canadian flag.
