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

I only stumbled across this movie while channel hopping with a coffee. This is a terrible film, even if it was a "made for TV" special.
The acting is simply awful. It's like watching a bunch of Star Trek fans who have filmed their own episode! Every line is delivered with exaggerated breathless earnestness. It becomes painfully obvious that you're watching a low budget production.
The cheesy script and cheesy acting is, at least matched by the cheesy CGI. Digital rain overlaid onto the scene of a bone dry van driving down a bone dry road. Very fake looking clouds, lightning and so on.
If this film was a pizza, it'd be a quattro formaggi.
On the plus side, if you're in the right frame of mind, it's so bad that it's almost laughably enjoyable! :)

Please make it stop... So bad... So stupid... Can't... process... the badness... Noooooooo!
I wish the 10 lines requirement was not in place because this movie is so bad that 10 lines are completely unnecessary. I would have to pad this with a lot of redundant adjectives. Any further commentary would suggest a level of depth that simply is not there.
I figure a 12 year old with a video camera could come up with a movie half as good as this. That's right, this movie is on par with what a 12 year old could come up with. And not even a talented 12 year old.
Should be required viewing in film schools on how NOT to make a movie.
Yes really, that bad.

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
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!

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.
