Tornades de pierres

Like most other made for tv disaster movies, but this one did have a few surprises. It was nice seeing sebastian spence, from my favourite fist wave. There were other good choices but he stuck out more to me. There was a neat idea with exploading frozen metorites which I thought was new.plus we have to give mention to the extras that always get a laugh. It was like sharknado, but less good and with stones/ cool idea but its syfy so just enjoy it.

Right from the very beginning you know what you are getting yourself into here and knowing what you are going to get. I mean, with a title like "Stonados", isn't it rather obvious? And only on the SyFy Channel would something like this see the light of day.

"Stonados" is most definitely not amongst the top notch of disaster movies. Far from it, actually. Why? Well, the storyline itself was just rubbish, there was no motivation, no properly coherent red thread throughout the movie. It all just seemed like a bunch of randomness put together and it turned out as this movie.

The dialogue in the movie was just plain bad. The actors and actresses didn't really have much to work with here. The storyline was against them, the dialogue was against them, and of course, the CGI effects were against them.

The actors and actresses themselves were actually doing good enough jobs with their limited material they had to work with. So thumbs up for that at least.

The entire movie just seems pointless and not very entertaining. If you enjoy disaster movies, then there are far better ones available, and amongst those even some also aired from the SyFy Channel.

'Stonados' are appearing near Boston, i.e. tornadoes which are throwing stones (or exploding ice cubes). A science teacher and a TV journalist try to warn the population and develop a theory what's causing the storm. Two kids are meanwhile not staying home as daddy told them, but they are going to a stadium that will have to be evacuated before the storm arrives.

The advantage of a disaster movie where they don't have to save the whole planet, but just one city, is that it can tell the story in a more personal way. This is basically a movie for the whole family about a guy who saves his two teenage kids. Nothing extraordinary, but watchable. The funniest moment is when the woman accuses the weather guy of a poor forecast and is immediately killed by a falling stone - clearly a meteorologist's vengeful fantasy. Miranda Frigon from 'Primeval: New World' was the only actor I recognized, she plays the police officer helping the scientist and falling in love with the journalist. Besides, I noticed one cliché that recently appeared a lot in disaster movies: if a camera operator tries to get close to the Dangerous Thing for a good shot, he is always killed. What is it with camera operators that script writers don't like? And where is the trade union when you need them?

You know what you gonna get when you start to watch these D-Movies (even worst than a C-Movie, which is already worst than a B-Movie...) :

Bad acting; Bad screenplay; Bad dialogues; Bad visual effects; Bad story lines; Bad editing; and stupid children;

To summarize : Bad...Everything!

Well folks, this thing has it all AND WORST ! In fact, the only good thing about this dud is it's length : 88 minutes. Short enough you'll think but you'll find yourself wondering what else you could've achieve in 88 minutes...

Stonados is so bad that I would prefer to get a colonoscopy instead of having to watch it again...

Yup! That bad...
