NYC: Tornado Terror (2008 TV Movie)
4/10
Another Sci-Fi Original Piece of Boredom
4 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Some of these actors are rather well-known, so I was quite surprised that this movie still managed to suck so badly.

Writing: sucked. Acting: meh. Story: meh. Effects: royally sucked. Physics: total b.s. Believability: really sucked (even for science fiction).

Having already gone through this at Intuitor's Bad Movie Physics site with "The Day After Tomorrow", it's already been proved that these weather phenomena cannot occur. Yes, I grant that this is sci-fi, but still... it's crap.

Let me sum this up for you: Oh my God, the weather is going bonkers and threatening to kill us all. The scientists have all the answers but no power or money. The bureaucrats have all the power, connections, and money but don't believe the scientists. Toss in a few lovey-dovey relationships, some untimely deaths, enough scientific facts to fool the kiddos... and you've got yourself another destructo-movie.

It's dull and a waste of time unless you're cooking, cleaning, or doing some other activity that requires mindless background noise (which is sort of the Sci-Fi Original Viewing Rule I think...) I am giving this 4 because it's actually a bit more watchable than most of their drivel.
