Another epic disaster threatening the very existence of mankind? Haven't these scenarios soon been done enough? There are so many movies of this genre out there, and most of them, oddly enough, are quite bad and filled with lousy effects. Now, "Seattle Superstorm" was pretty much the same as most others of its genre, though it had slightly better effects.
The story is about Tom (played by Esai Morales) and Wyatt (played by Jared Abrahamson) who have come together with Emma (played by Ona Grauer) and Chloe (played by MacKenzie Porter), but of course the two teenagers doesn't get along well and have problems coping with their parents coming together. But wait, it gets better, the USA army shoots down something unexplained over the skies of Seattle, and that triggers a cataclysmic event that spawns an ever-growing super storm that threatens all of Seattle, but then also all of USA and finally all of the world.
And guess who is going to stop this super storm? Yep, that is right, the four family members, because apparently the government, the army, the fire department, the police department, even the common folks of Seattle have no interest in trying to stop this cataclysm. So it is up to the family of four! Yeah, that was just oh-so-believable, but also oh-so-stereotypical for movies in this genre. And by saying that of course they do stop it, I haven't revealed anything that you didn't already knew would happen. But come on, I mean, such a thing happening as to four people stopping Mother Nature's fury and saving all of the world, it is just such a ludicrous plot.
The effects in "Seattle Superstorm" were actually alright. There were a couple of scenes that were questionable, but in overall, I found the storm effects to actually be alright. And I was laughing so hard when a bolt of lightning singled out the 'villain' of the story, that was just too much.
The DVD cover said "A Disaster of Epic Proportions", so I was sort of thinking that they actually advertised that this movie was going to suck big time. But fortunately, "Seattle Superstorm" actually surprised me as it was slightly better than most other storm movies in the low-budget scale of movies.
"Seattle Superstorm" is adequate entertainment if you have nothing better planned or got nothing better to watch. It is the type of movie where you already know the ending even before you start the movie. So unhook your brain and just sit back on a stormy ride...
