So bad, so awful that you just can't look away. I'm sure there are similar films out there but I haven't seen one this bad for many a year. My family kept asking me why I was watching and all I could think was it is was like watching a train crash. You know its awful but just can't look away.
So do yourself a favor. Rent, download, catch it on the box. You just need to see how it is possible that something so poorly acted, directed, edited, filmed, produced and released can ever make it onto our screen. Seriously this could have been made by an 8 year old for a school assignment.
If you want a positive out of this movie the time you take to watch it will provide a talking point, and a reference point for zero out of 5 stars!

I was curious and had little else to do, so I tuned in to Super Cyclone, not expecting much but at least some watchability. In evaluation there is nothing really watchable about Super Cyclone. If there are two things at all that sank Super Cyclone the most, I have to most definitely agree with that it was the special effects and the acting. Okay I knew the special effects were not going to be great, they rarely are in low-budget movies, but you do expect to see some kind of effort. These efforts actually look as though they weren't even trying, everything looked cheap and unfinished and even when against the choppy editing and dully lit settings they looked incredibly fake. If you are looking for the worst representation of rain in any movie, look no further than Super Cyclone. And no I'm not kidding. The acting is some of the worst I've ever seen, I have to agree that to call the acting terrible is an insult to the word terrible. The only person to actually looks as though they are trying is Ming-Na, and she's only okay here.
The story is another major disadvantage in Super Cyclone. No surprises, no suspense, no thrills, no sense of fun are to be found in the entire movie, considering that these are what makes a good disaster movie to say that this was a major problem is being too generous. There are far too many frustratingly stupid or insultingly unrealistic moments, it is paced in a pedantic fashion, the disaster scenes are so lifelessly done and predictable and the emotional moments are very forced, giving you little more than a who cares? vibe. The characters are stereotypical(all the disaster movie clichés and done terribly), are too bland in development to be remotely relateable to any audience and are made to do obnoxious things that not only makes you hate the character but also makes the scene further unbelievable until it was so hard to stomach. Then there is the dialogue which reeks of cheese and awkwardness, flat direction and very generic music. In conclusion, the only thing that is a disaster is the movie itself. 0/10 Bethany Cox

Horrible graphics, bad acting, complete waste of money and time!!! I have Nothing nice to say about this movie!! I have seen many of the actors in other movies or show and like most of their work but this is a movie they should all be embarrassed to admit they are a part of! I plan on letting the video company know they should pull.it off the shelf and will request my rental fee back. Now if only I could get back the 90 min of my life I wasted trying to watch it. Trying to submit my review and they are saying I have to have ten lines of comments but the movie was so.bad I can't even write ten lines of crap describing how awful the movie really is. I hope no one else has the unfortunate experience of renting and wasting time and money I hope no one else had the unfortunate experience of wasting their time and money on watching this movie
The combination of bad acting and even worse effects made me laugh so hard I started having ab spasms. The only person I even recognized was the dude who played Brucie in the Adam Sandler version of The Longest yard, and while it was his time to shine as a major character, he didn't. I guess he shouldn't have had that popcorn. It's at least entertaining in how bad it is. I'd put it in the same category of the Sharknado movies. As long as you go into it knowing it's gonna be bad, you can at least milk it for a couple ounces of entertainment value, if you're like me and have a good time pointing out the terrible effects, terrible acting and gaping plot holes. My wife and I had fun making fun of this movie.
I am only 21 minutes into this movie and already there are more holes than pound of Swiss cheese. For instance: A massive storm, the boat is rocking all over the place, people scrambling for cover, big waves, the whole nine yards. One man falls over board into a perfectly calm, what resembles a black bottom swimming pool. Later they're in the kitchen of the boat - everything on the shelves and counters are in perfect order, like they've not been touched at all. Not too mention, the sky is black, thunder crashing, winds blowing and yet strangely on the deck of the ship, the sun is shining and there is no sign of even a mild breeze anywhere. And the acting - WHERE do they get these people that play in these horrible, boring, ridiculous, so called disaster movies.
Did you know
- TriviaAbout 28 minutes into the movie, the radar shows a map of southern Florida, even though the cyclone is on the west coast, nearing Los Angeles as stated in the movie several times. This is a factual error.
- GoofsDuring a sequence of shots around the 53-minute mark showing the cyclone hitting California, there is a shot of two vehicles with Japanese plates, one of which is driving on the left. Also, a white road sign with blue writing in Japanese and Roman characters indicates a destination.
